Hilton to operate three hotels at Meraas’ Al Seef in Dubai
Originally opened in 2018, the three hotels are located at Al Seef, a waterfront destination by Meraas
Dubai-based Meraas has announced a partnership with Hilton, that will see three hotels located at Al Seef operate under the Hilton brand. Hilton will operate the Hampton by Hilton Dubai Al Seef, Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef and Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton.
Al Seef- a waterfront destination managed by Meraas, is located along the shore of Dubai Creek, and the three hotels had originally opened in 2018. Hampton by Hilton Dubai Al Seef offers contemporary hotel spaces featuring modern artwork in the lobby and public areas, a restaurant featuring free breakfast and a bright aesthetic that provides a place to relax and recharge with comfortable spaces. This hotel offers 150 rooms, while the Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef has 200 rooms, and Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton offers 190 guest rooms.
Mukesh Sodani, deputy CEO of Meraas, said: “To be collaborating with three Hilton brands is a testament to the diversity of the hospitality portfolio we have developed and delivered over the past decade in Dubai. It’s another example of how we continue to enhance the hospitality sector in Dubai and contribute to achieving the Emirate’s Tourism Vision 2020.”
“We are delighted to have Hilton as the new operator of our hotels and have every confidence their contribution will strengthen not only the services that we offer, but also the overall performance of the business.”
Meanwhile, the 200-room Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef is located in the heart of old Dubai and is home to a Mediterranean restaurant and rooftop bar. The property will undergo minor changes to its public space in Q1 2020 to create the brand’s signature Canopy Central lobby experience.
Rudi Jagersbacher, Hilton’s president for MEA and Turkey, said: “We are delighted to be adding these three spectacular hotels to our portfolio here in Dubai. Reflecting the best of both old and new Dubai, they are perfectly suited to our brand portfolio and are great additions to our existing properties in the city.”
Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton reflects the traditional Arabian style, design and detailing with contemporary service and facilities, along the banks of the Dubai Creek.
Meraas added that its partnership with Hilton underlines the company’s continuous efforts to bring global best practices and proven excellence to the market, and to offer Dubai’s residents and visitors the best places to live, work and play.
