AVANI Hotels & Resorts is thrilled to announce an exciting new addition to its growing pipeline with the signing of a suites and residences property currently being developed in Dubai by Alfhim, one of the UAE’s largest conglomerates.

Scheduled to open in 2020, the 48-storey new-build property will be the third Avani in Dubai and will represent the launch of Avani residences in the region. Offering great visibility for the brand, Avani Hotel Suites & Branded Residences will be located in a prime area of the city, directly overlooking the iconic Palm Jumeirah, adjacent to Dubai Marina and Media City and half an hour from Dubai International Airport, with many of Dubai’s other leading attractions and beaches close by.

The new property will total 527 keys, comprising 263 Avani Residences and 264 Avani Serviced Apartments. The Residences, which will be marketed to investors as a sale and lease-back product, will be a mix of one, two, three and four bedrooms, the latter offering an impressive 425 square metres of contemporary living space. Designed by AECOM, the suites and residences will offer floor-to-ceiling windows, interactive living and private terraces featuring sweeping views of The Palm or the city. They range from 45-square-metre studios, up to 180-square-metre three-bedroom units. With the location in one of Dubai’s most sought after areas, the property will cater to a mix of leisure, corporate and extended stay guests.

Ownership would grant an exclusive residential access with attentive service details and modern amenities, in addition to upscale hotel facilities.
