The Dorchester Collection is set to expand into the Middle East for the first time with the signing of a contract to manage a hotel in Dubai.
Details of the project are yet to be announced, but the five-star hotel is located on the banks of the Dubai Canal in the Marasi community, as well as the exclusive One Palm development of 90 residential apartments on the Palm Jumeirah.
The Dubai hotel will become the 10th in the Dorchester Collection and will join the group’s three UK properties (the Dorchester, 45 Park Lane and Coworth Park), alongside Le Meurice and Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, Hotel Eden in Rome and the Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.
The name and design of the Dubai hotel will be announced at “an exclusive gala event” in March.
