LEADING real estate developer Dubai Properties (DP) and hospitality group Hilton Worldwide have signed an agreement to build a DoubleTree by Hilton at the mixed-use Bay Square development in Dubai’s Business Bay district.

The 238-guestroom DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai Business Bay will join a fast growing portfolio of DoubleTree hotels already welcoming guests in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah and is expected to open in early 2017.

The new-build hotel will be located within close proximity to major corporate offices, as well as the commercial and entertainment areas of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall areas. It will include the characteristic qualities found at more than 400 DoubleTree by Hilton hotels across six continents, including upscale amenities and guest services.
