London's iconic Dorchester Hotel will be expanding its reach with a new luxury hotel in Dubai. The hotel will be constructed by the Dorchester Collection in a partnership with Dubai-based developer Omniyat. Details of the hotel, such as its name, size and services have yet to be disclosed, but the official hotel announcement will occur in March at a gala event in Dubai. This new venture will mark the first development Dorchester has made in Dubai and the company has noted that it plans further expansions into the city.
The new Dorchester Hotel is set to be built on the banks of the Dubai Water Canal, one of the most iconic attractions in the city. This new hotel will cover a 12km waterfront promenade and will feature floating villas, a floating restaurant, a pier and a marina. A few concept photos have been released by the Dorchester Collection and clearly show the brand's commitment to luxury and opulence.
