Emaar Hospitality plans new waterfront luxury hotel
DUBAI, October 3, 2017
Emaar Hospitality Group, the hospitality and leisure subsidiary of Emaar Properties, has unveiled plans for Vida Harbour Point, a new waterfront lifestyle project in Dubai and the seventh upcoming hotel project in the UAE under Vida Hotels and Resorts.
Vida Harbour Point is the second hotel project by Emaar Hospitality Group in Dubai Creek Harbour, having recently unveiled Address Harbour Point, a premium lifestyle hotel and serviced residences to be operated by Address Hotels + Resorts.
The new project, located in The Island District of Dubai Creek Harbour mega-project, will offer spectacular views of the Dubai Creek, the Downtown Dubai skyline and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
Vida Harbour Point will have 275 thoughtfully designed rooms that reflect the Vida ethos of delivering a refreshingly different upscale lifestyle experience for the new generation of business executives, entrepreneurs and leisure travellers. The hotel will uphold the vintage design approach typical of all Vida hotels that embrace warmth, simplicity and creativity in design-led spaces.
With its classic design, contemporary finishes and chic colour schemes, Vida Harbour Point integrates seamlessly with the creekside environment. In addition to a range of in-hotel amenities such as an all-day dining restaurant, health and fitness facilities, meeting rooms and events venues, guests will have direct access to a vibrant 4.5 km long Creek Boardwalk and a marina that can berth yachts of varying sizes. The Boardwalk will feature retail, leisure, F&B outlets, event spaces, galleries and water features.
Olivier Harnisch, chief executive officer of Emaar Hospitality Group, said: “Dubai Creek Harbour is today one of the most sought-after lifestyle and residential destinations and will be one of the hospitality hubs of the future. In addition to the iconic Dubai Creek Tower, the mega-development has a world-class retail district, a vibrant Island District with a marina and other leisure attractions that will appeal to leisure guests. Vida Harbour Point offers an exceptional location for guests by the creek, and will be a lively hub where style meets convenience and connectivity.”
The interiors of Vida Harbour Point will embrace a fashion-forward concept underpinned by minimalist hues and open spaces exuding natural light. The neutral colour palette followed across the property assures a soothing ambience. State-of-the-art technology features will be deployed assuring fast connectivity. Several themed restaurants will be opened, with details to be announced in due course.
A smart city of the future, Dubai Creek Harbour will feature several world-class hotels, retail precincts and residences, with Dubai Creek Tower, billed to be the world’s highest observation tower, serving as its anchor, welcoming guests from around the world.
