Hyde Hotels, Resorts & Residences, part of the world-leading Accor group, announced the first Hyde hotel outside of the United States, Hyde Dubai Business Bay.
The project is being developed in collaboration with owner, Emerald Palace Group, who have been successfully developing and constructing residential projects in Ukraine, UAE and Russia since 1996, including the newly announced Raffles the Palm Dubai.
The 276-room Hyde Hotel Dubai Business Bay, a five-star hotel, is set to open in Q4 2021. The hotel boasts three culinary experiences: the Mediterranean concept Cleo, contemporary Japanese from Katsuya, hand-crafted burgers from Hudson Tavern and The Perq, a coffee concept. Other features include a lobby lounge, Hyde pool and lounge, five meeting rooms and a function hall, a spa, male/female salon, fitness center, a swimming pool and retail area.
This news comes on the heels of Accor’s latest phase of expansion and its planned joint venture with Ennismore, which will see the creation of one of the world’s largest and fastest growing lifestyle operators, set to include Hyde Hotels, Resorts & Residences. This will be the fifth opening under the Hyde brand.
Chadi Farhat, CEO of sbe said: “We couldn’t be happier to be working with Emerald Palace Group on bringing the Hyde brand to Dubai Business Bay and we want to thank Dr. Nver Mkhitaryan for the support in developing the property. This opening is a testament of our continued international growth, and in particular, after the incredible success of SLS Dubai, Hyde Dubai Business Bay will continue to bring additional lifestyle experiences to one of the most vibrant destinations in the world. We will be bringing some of our most well-known concepts to the property with Katsuya, Cleo, and Hudson Tavern.
Accor’s introduction of the Hyde brand to Dubai follows the hospitality company’s global expansion of its luxury and premium lifestyle portfolio as part of a recent acquisition of sbe’s hotel brands. Additional openings include the recent debuts of SLS Dubai and SLS Cancun.
