DoubleTree by Hilton has announced the opening of its first hotel in Bay Square, Dubai.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Business Bay features 238 spacious guest rooms and suítes, all with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai or Bay Square. It joins two other DoubleTree by Hilton properties already open in Dubai and eight DoubleTree by Hilton properties open across the Middle East.
DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai – Business Bay is located in Bay Square, a low-rise community square surrounded by shops, cafés and local businesses. The hotel is ideally located between ‘old’ and ‘new’ Dubai, allowing guests to experience all the city has to offer.
It is also in close proximity to new waterfront destination Marasi Business Bay, which features a 10km promenade offering outdoor wellness and recreational activities. The hotel also offers easy access to Downtown Dubai, with a range of modern attractions including the Dubai Opera, the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa.
