With the launch of a stylish beachfront hotel at the heart of Dubai’s famous Palm Jumeirah, NH Collection makes its presence felt outside its traditional regions of Europe and the Americas.

International hotel group NH Collection has made its first venture into the Middle East and outside the traditional regions of Europe and the Americas with the launch of NH Collection Dubai The Palm. According to a press statement, the new-build 532-key hotel is located shoreside on the trunk of the renowned Palm Jumeirah with direct access to West Palm Beach and spectacular views across the Dubai skyline.

The statement adds that the property features 226 hotel guest rooms and suites in addition to 306 studios and apartments across 11 room categories. The bold, original décor is upbeat and playful, mixing splashes of authentic local character reflecting the vibrancy of the destination.

The hotel says that NH Collection Dubai The Palm represents the brand’s debut both in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Middle East region and joins an existing portfolio of over 90 NH Collection properties worldwide, known for their outstanding service and facilities. NH Collection hotels can be found in top city locations across Europe and the Americas, with two further properties opening in the region later this year.

The statement adds that the hotel has five distinctive dining venues, set to become favourites with guests, Dubai residents, and visitors alike, which provide a range of food and beverage options, including Maiora, where an abundance of dishes from around the world are served for all-day dining, including the renowned NH Collection breakfast.

The statement adds that from soaking in the mesmerising city views whilst taking a dip in the hotel’s spectacular temperature-controlled rooftop infinity pool, to pumping up at the fully equipped gym or unwinding with a massage, NH Collection Dubai The Palm offers guests a sophisticated place to deeply rejuvenate the senses. The hotel also caters to children with NH Kids’ Club which is designed for children between 4 and 12 years, keeping them engrossed in games, arts, crafts and more. The statement adds that the hotel will also soon launch its own beach club adjacent to the hotel on West Palm Beach.

The hotel says that sustainability is a driving force at NH Collection Dubai The Palm and the property has been designed to minimise environmental impact. The hotel has its own water plant, solar panels are used to generate hot water and condensed water from the air conditioning system is used for irrigation. Room amenities are vegan and sustainable with a diligent effort made to reduce and recycle waste. Initiatives to launch later in the year include an onsite apiary, a hydroponic farm within the hotel and a community market.

“We are thrilled to debut NH Collection in Dubai as the brand’s first property to launch outside of its historical areas of operation in Europe and the Americas. With its premium location on the renowned Palm Jumeirah and its great range of accommodation, dining options and Dubai skyline views, NH Collection Dubai The Palm represents a key strategic flag for the brand and will certainly make its mark on the hospitality scene in the city,” says Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO Minor International and CEO Minor Hotels, the parent company of NH Hotel Group.

The statement adds that the Dubai property is owned by Seven Tides, luxury real estate and hospitality developers, which operate a collection of distinguished properties in the UAE and UK.

“NH Collection is an upscale brand, which will complement the adjacent Seven Palm residences, as well as other properties in our hospitality portfolio, such as the Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort. Minor Hotels has been a trusted partner of Seven Tides for a decade now, with a proven track record. We are confident that their professional and dedicated management team will ensure that this property becomes a much sought-after destination for international leisure and business travellers and a social hub for Dubai’s residents,” says Ghanim Bin Sulayem, Operations Director, Seven Tides.
