Wyndham announces first namesake UAE property

The Wyndham Hotel Group has signed an agreement with Sigma III Limited, a subsidiary of the First Group, to manage the first Wyndham Hotels and Resorts property in the UAE.

The 33-storey building in the Dubai Marina will feature 497 guest rooms including 251 suites. Other amenities at the hotel will include 6,800 square feet of F&B outlets such as specialty restaurants, all day dining outlets, a coffee shop, executive lounge and a bar.

The property will also have meeting and conference facilities and leisure facilities including a spa, gym and outdoor pool.

“We are very excited to be bringing our namesake Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand to Dubai, following its successful introduction to the region through the spectacular Wyndham Grand Regency Doha. I have no doubt that Wyndham Dubai Marina will be another superb addition to the brand, which we are already growing in key cities throughout the Middle East,” said Rui Barros, senior vice president and managing director Europe, Middle East and Africa, of the Wyndham Hotel Group.

“The First Group is proud to be collaborating with such a renowned name in the global hotel industry on one of our most prestigious hotel developments to date. We are excited to be partnering with Wyndham Hotel Group on the first Wyndham Hotels and Resorts property in the U.A.E,” said Danny Lubert, co-founder and joint chairman of the First Group.

Wyndham Hotel and Resorts in Dubai Marina is expected to open within the next three years.

The Group’s other properties in the Middle East include the Wyndham Grand Regency Doha and the recently announced Wyndham Grand Manama and Wyndham Grand Riyadh.
