The property, which features 180 superior and deluxe rooms and apartment suites, is the latest addition to the group’s Dubai portfolio, which also includes Ibn Battuta Gate, Jumeirah Beach, Bur Dubai and Deira. The company also announced plans to open a sixth property in Jumeirah Lake Towers later this year.

“In addition to being the only international hotel company in Al Mamzar, we look forward to differentiating the hotel by providing the Swiss quality, value and five-star service which Mövenpick is renowned for,” said Chadi Gedeon, General Manager of Mövenpick Hotel Apartments The Square.

“Our hotel is ideal for families, executive travellers and long-stay guests. I strongly believe that our stylish and contemporary-design hotel apartments, coupled with our friendly approach, will provide both short and long-term guests with a memorable stay.”

The hotel is owned by Town Square Investment LLC and is part of The Square, a mixed use arabesque-themed community complex inspired by the Arabian inner courtyard. The two-phase project in Al Mamzar comprises residential buildings, extensive gardens, water features, apartments, office space and a retail area.

Notable public areas include The Spices, a contemporary all day dining restaurant, a rooftop pool and cocktail bar and a fully-equipped fitness centre.

In a press statement, Mövenpick said it remained optimistic about its future success in the Emirate, after its properties in the city achieved an average occupancy of 86% in 2012.
