Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has revealed plans to open its first property in Dubai Media City (DMC) in 2017, a move that will capitalise on the vibrant business district’s fast-paced expansion.

The 251-key Mövenpick Hotel Dubai Media City will stand adjacent to the US$1.23 billion ‘innovation hub’ announced by the Dubai Government last year – a new centre for communications and technology facilities.

Mövenpick Hotel Dubai Media City will feature rooms and suites with a minimum size of 42m². The property will also have four restaurants and lounges, a spa, gymnasium and swimming pool, while a large divisible ballroom and four meeting venues with natural daylight will be available for events and conferences.

Andreas Mattmüller, Chief Operating Officer, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Middle East and Asia, comments:“Dubai Media City is already home to more than 2,000 businesses according to Tecom and attracts thousands more workers and visitors on a daily basis. The cutting-edge innovation hub will significantly expand the district’s population and Mövenpick Hotel Dubai Media City will be well placed to cater to this community and beyond.”

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts’ DMC debut with Mövenpick Hotel Dubai Media City will take the upscale hospitality specialist’s Dubai portfolio to eight properties by 2017. The company recently unveiled plans to open the 246-key Mövenpick Hotel Apartments Downtown Dubai in the same year.
