The UAE's first Renaissance Hotel, the Renaissance Downtown Hotel, Dubai, is set to open at the end of 2016.
The property will be a 298-room luxury hotel aimed at business and leisure travellers; this will add to the four other Marriott openings in the UAE this year.
Alex Kyriakidis, president and managing director, Middle East & Africa of Marriott International, said: “The Renaissance Downtown Hotel Dubai will be a truly unique offer within the UAE hospitality sector as it is a highly appealing lifestyle option for both business and leisure travellers. The debut, alongside the opening of our flagship Marriott Hotels brand and two other Autograph Collection properties make for a very attractive luxury lifestyle proposition in the UAE.”
Aimed at discovery-oriented business travellers and leisure travellers, the Renaissance Downtown Hotel Dubai will employ, like the global hotels, local experts called "navigators" who are hand-picked and able to share what typically wouldn’t be covered in guidebooks.
