Dubai developer Nakheel has awarded a contract worth AED160 million (US $43.6 million) to United Engineering Construction (UNEC) to build its new 372-room hotel by Ibn Battuta Mall, which will be operated by Premier Inn.
The hotel will be a part of Nakheel’s 28,000 square metre expansion of the Ibn Battuta mall complex.
Earlier this month, Nakheel signed a management agreement with UK-based Premier Inn to run the hotel, which will be directly linked to the Dubai Metro and Ibn Battuta Mall.
Premier Inn at Ibn Battuta is scheduled to open in 2016 and will have a restaurant, Costa coffee shop, swimming pool and gym.

UAE-based UNEC is also the appointed contractor for the new retail mall at Nakheel’s Dragon Mart extension.
Over the next five years, Nakheel is planning nine hotels across Dubai.
