Hilton and Al Taif Investment have announced the signing of a management agreement to open DoubleTree by Hilton Fujairah City Centre.

The hotel forms part of a mixed-use development known as Al Taif Business Center, which includes offices and residences. The hotel also has direct access to the Al Taif Business Center mall.

“We conceptualized and designed Al Taif Business Centre as an inclusive facility, providing an iconic fusion of business and leisure facilities, and we are pleased to be working with Hilton to open this world-class hotel at our flagship project in Fujairah,” said Khalid bin Kalban, CEO, Al Taif Investment. “With the emirate continuing to be an important logistics hub for the UAE, hosting several world-class medical facilities and developing a pipeline of infrastructure projects, it is an ideal venue to host many domestic and international tourists – and we are positive that this new addition will serve as a catalyst for the emerging needs of the emirate.”

Expected to open in late 2022, DoubleTree by Hilton Fujairah City Center will have 228 rooms, meeting and event spaces, and a diverse selection of restaurants and bars.

“This hotel will provide all of those traveling to and living in the emirate with Hilton’s world-class service standards and DoubleTree by Hilton’s signature hospitality,” said Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East and Africa of Hilton. “We are grateful for the opportunity provided to us and delighted to support the vision of our partners at Al Taif Investment, as we strive to push the emirate of Fujairah into the next phase of its tourism and economic development and expand our growing network effect throughout the country.”
