UAE's 2nd tallest tower set for new hotel operator

The second tallest tower in the UAE currently has no confirmed operator for its hotel, with the previous management team no longer involved.

Marina 101 had been set to become home to the 300-room Dream Dubai Marina, which would have been operated by Hampshire Hotels Management, in association with Wyndham Hotel Group.

However, the developer behind the project, Sheffield Holdings, has now confirmed that these companies are no longer involved with Marina 101.

A new operator for the hotel is yet to be confirmed by Sheffield Holdings.

As reported earlier this week, over 80% of the Marina 101 tower has been completed, with developers expected to hand over its hotel to management in early 2015.

The 425 metre structure is poised to be the tallest tower in Dubai Marina and the second tallest tower in the UAE.
