A statement from Starwood Hotels and Resorts, said: "Dubai police are currently investigating the death of a training manager for Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road and Four Points by Sheraton Downtown.
"We have been co-operating with the local authorities but as this is an open investigation we are unable to comment further at this time.
