Dubai-based Ròya celebrated the topping out of Studio City’s first lifestyle hotel and dining hub experience.

Inspired by the entertainment industry, the property is set to open its doors to guests in Q4 of 2018.  

Ròya was originally engaged to provide advisory services during the conceptualisation and design stages, and now continues to provide ongoing hospitality advisory services with a mandate to see the hotel through to its inauguration. The company's affiliate group RPM has also been appointed as project manager.

The property will be a 141 room, four-star hotel with guest rooms, short stay studios and extended stay residential accommodation. The restaurants are a planned mix with varied menu choices ranging from lounges to casual and family style dining offering speciality cuisines. The new Studio City property also has an integrated grey water recycling and low energy consumption plan. At this stage, an operator has not yet been confirmed.

Ròya group CEO Ahmed Ramdan said in a statement: "Our advisory has long seen mid and up-scale properties with excellent integrated food and beverage choices as the future in Dubai’s rapidly maturing hospitality market. The new property will bring to the market a unique indoor-outdoor dining hub with both renowned brands and entrepreneurial, home-grown concepts side by side to create an eclectic mix of restaurants. In this exciting project, we were able to combine all the elements that suit Studio City and its surrounding communities like The Arabian Ranches, Al Barsha and Jumeirah Golf Estates."
