Omniyat Group, a leading real estate developer in Dubai, will have over 2,000 hotel rooms and serviced apartments in its portfolio by 2020.

Aligning its vision with the Dubai Tourism Vision of attracting 20 million visitors by 2020, the group is looking to bring more super-luxury hospitality brands to its upcoming and planned iconic projects with plans to introduce another uber-luxury hospitality brand to the region before the end of 2016.

The group has earlier brought brands such as ME by Meliá and Langham Place for the first time to the UAE and the Middle East region.

Details of the new project will be released at a later date.

“Over the past 10 years, Omniyat has become the curator of the world’s finest designer hospitality brands,” said Mark Phoenix, managing director, Omniyat.

“Our state-of-the-art projects that are strategically located around the top touristic and business destinations in Dubai will meet the desires of the most demanding world travellers. In 2016, we will add another trophy label, an uber-luxury hospitality brand to the upper end of our portfolio,” Phoenix revealed.

Putting the Omniyat brand on the global hospitality stage will be its flagship project - The Opus – the exterior and interior of which have been designed by the late legendary architect, Dame Zaha Hadid.

The hotel portion of The Opus in Burj Khalifa District will be opened in the third quarter 2017, enhancing one of the top central business districts of Dubai with first-class services offered by ME by Melia Hotels International.

The company will be opening Langham Place Downtown Dubai Hotel and Residences in Burj Khalifa district by 2020, comprising more than 406 rooms and serviced apartments.

With other projects planned to be announced, Ominyat will have an inventory of over 2,000 hotel rooms and serviced apartments, thus making it a major player in Dubai’s premium hospitality segment. - TradeArabia News Service
