sbe, a leading international hospitality group that develops, manages and operates award-winning global hospitality brands, announced a partnership with World of Wonders Real Estate Development to continue the expansion of the SLS brand with the first SLS property in the Middle East, SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences.

The property is set to open in Q3 2020. The 75-story tower will be comprised of 254 hotel rooms, 371 residential units, 321 hotel apartments and will be one of the tallest hotels and residences in the region. The property will also feature sbe signature culinary concepts Fi’lia and Carna, sbe’s mixology lounge in the lobby, as well as signature rooftop nightlife venue, Privilege.

The SLS brand is an integral part of sbe’s global expansion, with plans for 25 additional locations nationally and internationally in cities including Washington D.C., Buenos Aires and Cancun.

SLS Dubai will be an essential piece of sbe’s development in the Middle East that comes on the heels of successful openings of Katsuya in Kuwait City, Dubai and most recently Abu Dhabi. The success of SLS Dubai also speaks to the monumental growth of sbe’s residential platform with 1,300 branded residential units sold to date, valued at $2 billion with another $2 billion in the pipeline.
