UAE-headquartered Time Hotels is set to reveal plans to open 10 new properties across the Middle East by Q4 2018, at Arabian Travel Market 2017.
The properties will see the growth and launch of existing and new brands to key territories in the region, with the company set to extend its footprint to Ajman and Fujairah in the UAE, followed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, before the end of Q4 2018.
The new additions will join Time Hotels’ existing portfolio of seven properties between Dubai and Sharjah, taking the tally to 17 properties in the Middle East.
Time Hotels CEO Mohamed Awadalla said in a statement: "Our current pipeline of hotels and residences meet the demands of multiple markets by offering a high-quality stay across all our brand portfolio."
Plans are in place to take the Time Residence brand to Fujairah, with the launch of the Platinum Time Residence later this year. In Dubai, three new hotels will open: Time Asma Hotel, Time Express Hotel Al Jaddaf, and Time Royal Hotel & Spa, the firm’s first five-star UAE property, located in Healthcare City and designed to meet the needs of healthcare tourists.
Time's international openings can be seen in Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah and Qurayyat.
