UAE: Hilton will operate a hotel and serviced apartments at Dubai’s Deira Islands under its DoubleTree brand.
Nakheel and Hilton signed a letter of intent for the project, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Residences Deira Islands, which will consist of a twin tower complex with 250 hotel rooms and 200 serviced apartments. It is currently being designed, with anticipated delivery by 2020. It will be part of Nakheel’s Dh5 billion Deira Boulevard community – a 22-tower residential, retail and commercial hub at the Deira Islands waterfront city.
The two parties also signed a management agreement for a DoubleTree hotel at Jumeirah Village Triangle.
“Our new partnership with Hilton reflects our commitment to collaborate with globally-renowned and reputed operators to deliver new and unique hospitality projects across Dubai. Hilton is among the world’s most well-known, trusted names in hospitality, and I am delighted that we are joining forces for these – and hopefully more – new hotels,” said Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah.</p
