Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of its first ‘Radisson’ brand hotel in the Middle East at Damac Hills in Dubai, UAE.

Under construction and due to open in Q4 2019, Radisson Hotel, Dubai Damac Hills will feature 481 rooms, including one and two-bedroom suites. Two restaurants will cater to guests’ dining needs, while leisure facilities such as a gym, spa, kids club and an outdoor swimming pool will also be available. The hotel’s extensive meeting space will be built over an area of 600 sq m.

The Radisson Hotel Group portfolio now features 81 hotels and more than 20,000 rooms in operation and under development under its various brands across the Middle East.

The upscale, full-service brand with Scandinavian-inspired hospitality will be situated in Damac Hills. It is part of a new 3.9 million-sq-m residential community developed by Damac Properties in Dubailand. The hotel will also be surrounded by parkland and the spectacular green fairways of an 18-hole championship golf course.

Elie Younes, executive vice-president and chief development officer, Radisson Hotel Group, says: “We’re delighted to enter into partnership with Damac Properties, one of the most prominent and respected real estate developers in the region. The Radisson hotel will enable their vision to materialise. We’re further delighted to introduce our new upscale Radisson brand that delivers its own Scandinavian-inspired hospitality to the region.”

“Damac Hills is one of Dubai’s newest communities and is already home to more than 1,000 families, who have moved into the villas, townhouses and apartments nestled around the fairways of its championship golf course, the Trump International Club Dubai,” says Hussain Sajwani, chairman of Damac. “Our partnership with Radisson Hotel Group for this unique hospitality product will cater to the ever-growing number of tourists and business travellers who visit the emirate.”

The hotel will have excellent accessibility through two major highways and will be located 15 km from the newly opened Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai World Central).

The property will be within a rapidly growing area of Dubai and surrounded by new residential and business districts such as Dubai Motor City and Dubai Investment Park, while the site of Expo 2020 will be just 11 km away.
