A new W Hotel is opening in Dubai next year

This marks the third W Hotel in the UAE…

If you’ve strolled around Dubai Marina in the last few months, you might have noticed a slightly unusual-looking structure taking form on the Mina Seyahi beachfront. We can now confirm that the hotel will be a brand new W property, called W Dubai – Mina Seyahi.

The 31-storey hotel will feature 318 guest rooms, including 26 suites and an Extreme Wow Suite (W’s take on a Presidential Suite). A new poolside sunset experience will be a highlight, overlooking the Mina Seyahi bay area.

We don’t know much about the food and beverage offering yet, but we’re told that a signature outlet will open on the 31^st floor, with views of Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah. The hotel lobby, or ‘W Lounge’ will draw inspiration from Middle Eastern gatherings, and aims to become a place where guests can relax and enjoy handcrafted cocktails and light bites.

A Bar-B spa will offer guests a sanctuary to unwind and be pampered with three treatment rooms and a beauty bar, while 1Rebel will take over the fitness facility, with a 2500-square-metre, dual-storey studio.

“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.

The new opening will be the third W Hotel in the UAE, after W Dubai – The Palm and W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island. W Dubai – Mina Seyahi is slated to open sometime in 2022.
