SBE teases first images of its upcoming Dubai Hotel and Residences

– Sam Nazarian, Founder and CEO of SBE
Lifestyle and hospitality group SBE Entertainment has unveiled renderings for its first resort in the UAE – the SLS Dubai Hotel and Residences.
The US$550m (€485.9m, £416m) flagship will be situated in a 75-storey tower and feature 254 rooms and 371 residences, as well as infinity pools, bars, restaurants, terraces, and cocktail lounges.
The resort will also boast a bevy of SBE's Ciel-branded spa facilities, including seven treatment rooms, plunge pools, a hair and nail salon, and a gym.
Architecture firm Aedas provided the master plan for the property, while Paul Bishop shaped the hotel's interiors. Gunal Construction is serving as the building contractor.
Other companies attached to the project include SBE's subsidiary Dakota Development and World of Wonders Real Estate Development (WOW) – the company's development partner.
Speaking on SBE's new partnership with WOW, Sam Nazarian, the group's founder and CEO, commented: "Dubai is not only the Middle East's biggest tourism and business hub, but it is also the epicentre for all things luxury and we are so excited to be there.
"It is truly an honour to partner with World of Wonders Real Estate Development, I am confident that this is just the beginning of a long lasting relationship with many more projects to come!"
The project, which has been under construction since 2016, is expected to be completed in June 2020.
