177! Thatʼs the number of hotel projects from the United Arab Emirates.

Dubai is strongly increasing the number of incoming tourism with its 97 upscale hotel projects under development representing 35 154 rooms.

Despite the credit crunch the hotel development business in the United Arab Emirates keeps doing well. For example the amazing “Dubailand” project developed by Tatweer/ Dubai holding will be realized with several large theme and event-oriented hotels. Among the listed projects one still finds the “Asia Asia” hotel project with nearly 6 500 guest rooms scheduled to open in the coming years. With a new, large international hub for longdistance flights,and a new 828 metre landmark “Burj Chalifa”, making it the highest tower on earth, Dubai became top of the tops.

The n°2 of the top cities worldwide with most hotel projects is Abu Dhabi (UAE) with 66 hotel projects representing 21 572 rooms.

The third Ritz-Carlton in the UAE is set to open this spring in Abu Dhabi. The 2 others are in Dubai. This year, the legendary resort Al Buslan Palace was acquired by Mariott in Muskat/Onan. The 250-rooms-property was recently refurbished and reevaluated for several millions USdollar.

Jumeirah Hotels, the hotel group of the Dubai Holding, expands strongly. According to TOPHOTELPROJECTS, there are currently 31 international large hotel projects under construction or development with more than 8 398 rooms. The largest being the Jumeirah Anguilla Resort in the Caribbean. Jumeirah has opened a total of six new top hotels, and since the begining of 2011 the Jumeirah property count has doubled.
