IHG has signed an agreement with TAJ RP International Limited, part of RP Group of Companies, to open Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina in 2016.
Located in the Dubai Marina area, the hotel site is next to Dubai Marina Mall and within walking distance of the pedestrian promenade, which borders the waterway lined with cafes and restaurants. The property will also be in close proximity to the business hub made up of Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City, and Knowledge Village.
In line with all Crowne Plaza properties, the 280-room Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina will offer three meeting rooms, a boardroom, and a ballroom, as well as a spa and health club and three restaurants.
Says Dr. Ravi Pillai, chairman, RP Group of Companies, “We have a growing presence in a number of vital segments, including the hospitality industry, in more than seven countries and 15 cities and are pleased to make an entry into Dubai Marina.”
The new development marks the entry of the fourth Crowne Plaza hotel into Dubai and the ninth Crowne Plaza hotel into the UAE. UAE’s first Crowne Plaza Resort is scheduled to open in Ras Al Khaimah in 2015.
