Corinthia Hotels and Dubai General Properties are proud to announce their partnership on a landmark hotel and residential development in the heart of Dubai. The skyline-defining structure will showcase refined design, opulent interiors, exceptional amenities and unmatched personalised service. This visionary project will redefine the traditional hotel and branded residences concept, introducing Corinthia’s Mediterranean soul and inventive hospitality to Dubai for the first time.
Set within a two-tower structure on the rapidly redeveloping Sheikh Zayed Road near the celebrated Museum of the Future, the development will rise to iconic heights, exceeding 500 metres and ranking among the world’s tallest buildings. Featuring a distinctive contemporary architectural style, conjoined by a cantilevered sky lobby extending over 200 metres above the ground, visible from both the north and south elevations. This architectural marvel will transform the city’s striking skyline, setting a new standard for luxury living and hospitality in a destination renowned for its unrivalled collection of five-star hotels.
Simon Casson, CEO of Corinthia Hotels, commented: “We are proud and honoured to be bringing the Corinthia brand to Dubai, a city I know and love from my decade-long residence here. This architectural gem honours the ambitious vision set forth by the inspired leadership of Dubai and is made possible by our valued partnership with Dubai General Properties. Both hotel and residences will be defining in their design and level of aspirational luxury; matched only by the elevated, intuitive service levels delivered by the people of Corinthia, with the Spirit of Corinthia.”
On track to become a global landmark, the new development will showcase the five-star luxury Corinthia Dubai, alongside Corinthia-branded serviced penthouses and apartments, each offering breathtaking views and elegant interiors. Guests and residents will have exclusive access to Corinthia Wellness in a next-generation spa. With indoor and outdoor pools, cutting-edge fitness equipment, personal trainers and a team of health and wellbeing experts, this will be a spa experience unlike anything seen before in Dubai. The development will be accessed by four distinct entry points enabling fluid movement of traffic.
