Rezidor Signs 4th Radisson Blu Hotel in Dubai

Rezidor Hotel Group has signed its 4th Radisson Blu Hotel in Dubai. The 220-room Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Downtown is scheduled to open in early 2011.

Rezidor already manages the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek, the Radisson Blu Residence, Dubai Marina, and the Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Media City.

The Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Downtown will be located on the upper floors of a mixed used building located at walking distance from Dubai Mall and 10 kilometres from the international airport.

The hotel comprises 198 contemporary rooms and 22 suites – all equipped with Radisson Blu signature services such as free high speed internet access.

Guests will also benefit from an all day dining-restaurant, a speciality restaurant, a pub, 2 bars (including a rooftop pool bar), and a Business Class Lounge. Meeting facilities will include 6 conference rooms, 2 board rooms, and a business centre – and for those combining business and leisure travel, the hotel will have a swimming pool and a gym/spa.

“Despite the slowdown, Dubai continues to have the highest RevPAR worldwide and is an interesting market for Rezidor – and one of our focus areas in the Middle East,” said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. “We see a promising potential especially for business travellers, and the new hotel benefits from an excellent location near the main commercial areas.”

Dubai Downtown is one of the new hubs in Dubai, it hosts top attractions including the tallest tower in the world, one of the world’s largest malls, Dubai Mall, the waterfall promenade and Souk Al Bahar. The hotel also borders Business Bay, a mega project covering an area of 6 million square meters, which is designed to be the new centre of Dubai commerce. Key destinations including Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai International and Exhibition Centre, and Dubai International Financial Centre (the world’s fastest growing international financial centre) are within a few minutes’ drive from the hotel’s site.
