Wyndham Hotels and Resorts to debut in UAE with Dubai property
Wyndham Hotel Group has announced plans for the first Wyndham Hotels and Resorts property in the UAE following the signing of an agreement with Sigma III Limited, a subsidiary of British-owned developer The First Group.
Currently under development, the 33-storey building Wyndham Dubai Marina is expected to open within the next three years with 497 guestrooms including 251 suites.
The hotel will also feature 2,500 sq ft (232sq m) of spa and leisure facilities including a gym and outdoor pool with a pool bar.
Almost 6,800 sq ft (632sq m) of food and beverage outlets will be on offer including all-day-dining and speciality restaurants, as well as a coffee shop, an executive lounge and a bar.
In addition to the Wyndham Grand Regency Doha, which opened in 2011, Wyndham Hotel Group has already announced the development of two Wyndham Hotels and Resorts properties in the Middle East. The Wyndham Grand Manama and Wyndham Grand Riyadh are both anticipated to open by the end of next summer.
Rui Barros, managing director EMEA, Wyndham Hotel Group said: "We're very excited to be bringing the brand to Dubai, following its successful introduction to the region through the spectacular Wyndham Grand Regency Doha.
"I have no doubt that Wyndham Dubai Marina will be another superb addition to the brand, which we are already growing in key cities throughout the Middle East."
The group's portfolio throughout the Middle East consists of more than 30 hotels and over 6,100 rooms ranging from economy to upper-upscale.
