DoubleTree by Hilton Fujairah City Centre is set to open as a part of the mixed-use development known as Al Taif Business Centre.
The hotel will cater to both business and leisure travellers with an array of amenities and proximity to transportation hubs, commercial offices and other sites.
A new partnership
Expected to open late 2022, DoubleTree by Hilton Fujairah City Centre is now set to open following the signing of a management agreement between Hilton and Al Taif Investment.
With its place within Al Taif Business Centre, the new-build hotel will be located alongside the development’s offices and residences and provide direct access to the Al Taif Business Centre mall.
“We conceptualised and designed Al Taif Business Centre as an inclusive facility, providing an iconic fusion of business and leisure facilities, and we are pleased to be working with Hilton to open this world-class hotel at our flagship project in Fujairah,” said Khalid bin Kalban, CEO, Al Taif Investment.
“With the emirate continuing to be an important logistics hub for the UAE, hosting several world-class medical facilities and developing a pipeline of infrastructure projects, it is an ideal venue to host many domestic and international tourists – and we are positive that this new addition will serve as a catalyst for the emerging needs of the emirate.”
Business and leisure
On opening, the hotel will encompass 228 upscale guest rooms along with amenities for business and leisure including meeting and event space and a selection of restaurants and bars.
By being based here, guests will be within easy reach of Fujairah Port and Fujairah Terminals, as well as sports stadiums, Fujairah International Marine Club and the city’s commercial and municipal offices.
“This hotel will provide all of those travelling to and living in the emirate with Hilton’s world-class service standards and DoubleTree by Hilton’s signature hospitality,” said Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton.
“We are grateful for the opportunity provided to us and delighted to support the vision of our partners at Al Taif Investment, as we strive to push the emirate of Fujairah into the next phase of its tourism and economic development and expand our growing network effect throughout the country.”
