This property is the newest flagship to open in the group, strengthening the brand’s ambitious transformation.

Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts is one of the world’s largest upscale hotel brands, with an increasingly strong reputation for being the first choice for business-class stays. Designed with the modern traveller in mind, Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts know that business travel isn’t just about business – it’s about balancing work and life so guests feel fulfilled and successful.

This opening represents a landmark moment for Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts in the Middle East and marks the beginning of ambitious expansion plans for the brand in the region. With 24 Crowne Plaza hotels (6,836 rooms) open in the Middle East (GCC, Levant and Egypt) and a further eight (2,738 rooms) in the pipeline – three of which are in the UAE and three in KSA the brand is perfectly positioned to cater for a rising number of regional business events and travel to the Middle East.

Within only a 20-minute drive to Expo 2020 Site, close proximity to important business hubs including Jumeirah Lake Towers, Jebel Ali, Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina is set to become an important hub for business travelers in the lead up to Expo 2020.

Georges Farhat, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina said, “Our flagship property in Dubai Marina is an exciting addition to the Crowne Plaza portfolio in the region. As a flagship property, the hotel will feature a new modern design philosophy which better meets the needs of our guests: productivity, advanced restoration and inspiration, seamlessly blending work and play. It features a new approach to lobby design, which can be used for co-working or relaxing. Its location makes it ideal for guests looking to stay ahead of their game while travelling for business; from a morning run on the marina waterfront walkway to after work chilling out in the heart of one of Dubai’s most exciting districts.”

Located primely on the banks of Dubai Marina with direct access from the promenade, the 24 storey building occupies 3,037 square meters and boasts 273 stylish and ultra-modern hotel rooms including 61 Club Rooms and 32 suites.

Closer to home, the Crowne Plaza brand in Australia is being completely transformed with the three new hotels and significant refurbishments across the portfolio. It will welcome three new-build Crowne Plaza hotels from March 2020 with Crowne Plaza Hobart (March 2020), Sydney Darling Harbour (March 2020) and Adelaide (April 2020). The flagship design represents the new era for Crowne Plaza, with distinctive, purposeful design at the forefront. Design specs will land in Australia with the introduction of Crowne Plaza Workspace, an all-new concept to transform ground-floor public spaces into different zones that allow guests and visitors to meet for coffee, work individually or host meetings. The new design concepts and functionality is the answer to the growing trend in flexible work and life preferences, and people’s desire to work from anywhere.
