Marriott to open W Dubai – Mina Seyahi in 2022

Marriott International has announced it has signed an agreement with wasl Hospitality and Leisure, a subsidiary of wasl Asset Management Group, to open a W Hotels property along Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach coastline.

Located close to Dubai’s thriving leisure destinations, such as Dubai Marina and JBR Walk, W Dubai – Mina Seyahi is expected to open in 2022.

The 31-storey hotel will feature 318 guestrooms, including 26 suites and an Extreme Wow Suite (W’s take on a Presidential Suite).

The W Lounge (the brand’s signature take on the hotel lobby) is anticipated to draw inspiration from a Middle Eastern gathering place.

Plans include a new sunset destination experience by the pool overlooking the stunning Mina Seyahi bay, as well as a signature outlet on the 31st floor.

Amenities at the hotel include the Fit Fitness Centre where UK-born 1Rebel, the ultimate sport-luxe fitness experience, make its debut in the UAE, with a 2500-sq m, dual-storey studio in the hotel.

Marriott International currently operates six properties and residences under the W Hotels brand across the Middle East. W Dubai – Mina Seyahi will be the brand’s second property in Dubai.

“We are seeing increasing demand for luxury lifestyle brands in Dubai, and with its mix of culture and high-energy lifestyle, the emirate is the perfect destination for the trend-setting W Hotels brand,” said Candice D’Cruz, vice president – luxury brands, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International.

Meanwhile Hesham Al Qassim, CEO of wasl Asset Management Group, added: “This new property, which is among several other Marriott International hotels that wasl brought and launched in the emirate, will be an exciting addition to Dubai’s hospitality sector. We continue to look forward to developing further hotels to cement our position as a key player in the hospitality sector”.
