Emaar Properties has launched the 200-room Dubai Marina Mall Hotel.

Located within the Dubai Marina waterfront, the property is part of the 150,000sq m Dubai Marina Mall complex that also includes the Dubai Marina Mall Serviced Residences, the Dubai Marina Mall – a modern shopping and entertainment destination – and an eight-storey ‘restaurant tower’ dedicated to diverse cuisines.

Facilities at the hotel include a business centre with extensive meeting facilities, a health spa and fitness centre, a large outdoor pool with children’s pool and an executive lounge with outdoor terrace and children’s play area located on the 14th Floor.

The hotel has internal walkways to the Dubai Marina Mall, which will have several retail outlets, food courts and entertainment options.

Marc Dardenne, CEO, Emaar Hospitality Group said: “Dubai Marina Mall Hotel will be managed by a reputable five-star operator, and shall be focused on offering the luxuries expected of world-class hotels.”

“The hotel’s waterfront location and rich array of lifestyle amenities will appeal to leisure travellers, while business visitors can enjoy the added advantages of a modern meeting and conference facility.”

Dubai Marina is a 50million sq ft project with 11 km of waterfront boardwalks and five marinas that can berth over 500 vessels.

The centrepiece of the development will be the Dubai Marina Motor Yacht Club, scheduled to open later this year, which will offer an array of marina-related services to members.

The building of the club is part of Emaar’s strategy of developing Dubai Marina into becoming a premier water sports destination.
