Kempinski Hotels is doubling its influence in Dubai through a strategic partnership with Abu Dhabi National Hotels to take over two properties. From 1 January 2024, Kempinski The Boulevard Dubai and Kempinski Central Avenue Dubai, formerly Address Boulevard and Address Dubai Mall, will fly the Kempinski flag.
The move significantly expands Kempinski's presence in Dubai, one of the luxury hotel group's top performing destinations by 2023.
Rising 72 storeys, Kempinski The Boulevard Dubai features 198 rooms and suites as well as residences. The urban complex offers gastronomic experiences, a 760 square metre spa and three swimming pools.
Adjacent to The Dubai Mall, Kempinski Central Avenue Dubai features 245 rooms and suites with private balconies. The hotel offers easy access to a variety of dining options.
In addition to the new properties, Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates and Kempinski Hotel & Residences Palm Jumeirah contribute to Kempinski's presence in Dubai.
The future Kempinski Residences The Creek Dubai, scheduled to open in 2025, will mark Kempinski's first standalone private residences in the region.
"This important milestone marks an enormous step forward for Kempinski and cements our role as one of the dominant luxury hotel brands in the Middle East. As one of the first luxury hotel companies to secure a foothold in the United Arab Emirates in the late 1990s, Kempinski has a well-established reputation for unsurpassed quality and service. Following a record year of performance, we will continue to grow our portfolio across the region in 2024 and beyond." René Nijhof, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Kempinski S.A.
"We are delighted to see the Kempinski flag flying over two of our most prestigious properties in Dubai. The Kempinski brand is a symbol of excellence that represents the very best of European hospitality. The company’s strong track record and expertise in the region makes it an ideal partner to usher these two hotels into the next era." - Khalid Anib, Chief Executive Officer, Abu Dhabi National Hotels
