Situated in the Dh3 billion ($816 million) Mirdif Hills project, the contemporary hotel will offer 116 hotel rooms and 128 serviced apartments.

Located within easy reach of Dubai’s most impressive tourist attractions including Dubai Safari Park, and Dubai Crocodile Park, plus both Dubai International and Sharjah International Airports, the hotel will be situated adjacent to Mushrif Park, providing access to a bicycle track, equestrian club and sports facilities. Boasting world-class facilities including creative restaurant concepts, fitness area, swimming pool and innovative meeting spaces, Millennium Place Hotel and Apartments Mirdif has been designed with both business and leisure travellers in mind.
