Minor Hotel Group (MHG) has announced a brand new partnership with Dubai Properties, to develop a new Anantara in Dubai, to open early 2018.
Anantara Dubai Creek Hotel will be located in Culture Village, a new world-class destination being developed by Dubai Properties Group in the east of the city facing Dubai Creek.
Located on the waterfront and with a contemporary design, the new Anantara hotel will be one of the first luxury hotels in Culture Village.
The property will comprise 290 guest rooms, a rooftop pool, a spa and a range of restaurants, bars and retail outlets. The hotel will also boast waterfront views from its ballroom and conference facilities, making it a great venue for special events and weddings.
MHG’s CEO Dillip Rajakarier said expanding into the UAE is all part of the grand plan.
“With a well established and well known portfolio of hotels and resorts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, further growing our footprint in the UAE is of key strategic importance to Minor Hotel Group,” Rajakarier said.
“We are therefore very pleased to partner with Dubai Properties, such influential and highly respected partners in the region, to develop an Anantara hotel in the impressive new Culture Village destination, and we look forward to a strong alliance going forward.”
Chief Officer of Urban Planning and Infrastructure at Dubai Properties Group, Mohammed Al Habbai, also commented on the pairing up, saying they are proud to grow their portfolio with MHG.
“Anantara is a brand which is synonymous with luxury and we expect the hotel with its culture spirit to become a key attraction for Culture Village,” he said.
MHG currently operates a total of nine properties in the UAE: six Anantara resorts (one in Dubai and five in Abu Dhabi), two Oaks hotels (in Dubai and Abu Dhabi respectively) and Desert Palm, a luxury boutique Per AQUUM brand hotel.
