Hilton Worldwide is to bring its mid-priced hotel brand, Hilton Garden Inn, to the UAE for the first time following an agreement with Dubai-based Wasl Hospitality which will see two hotels open by early 2015.
The agreement will bring the Hilton Garden Inn brand to the Al Mina and Al Muraqabat regions of Dubai by early 2015, adding an extra 365 rooms to the emirate.
Hilton Garden Inn global head Adrian Kurre, said: “We are excited to add two impressive properties to our expanding hotel portfolio and proud to introduce the brand to the UAE for the first time. Hilton Garden Inn has consistently set the guest standard in the mid-priced sector and I am confident our award winning combination of best-in-class customer service together with affordable comfort and convenience will prove successful in Dubai’s dynamic hospitality market.”

wasl Asset Management Group CEO Hesham Al Qassim commented: “We are delighted to have entered an agreement with Hilton Worldwide to operate two new mid-range hotels in the heart of established areas of Dubai. This sector of the market will become increasingly important following Dubai’s naming as host city for Expo 2020. We anticipate greater demand for four-star accommodation across the city once the countdown to the global exhibition begins and hotels, such as those announced today, will play an increasingly important role in the city’s future hospitality infrastructure.”
The 182-room Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Al Mina, between Bur Dubai and Jumeirah, will provide access to Port Rashid, Dubai convention centre and Dubai International Financial Centre as well as Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa.
Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Al Muraqabat in Deira will offer 183-rooms and will be within easy access of the diplomatic district of the city as well as Dubai International Airport.
Both Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Al Mina and Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Al Muraqabat will feature a health club, an outdoor pool, a business centre, meeting space and complimentary internet access. Both properties will offer an all day dining option together with a lobby lounge.
