6 new hotels that opened in Dubai in 2020

Despite a global pandemic, the city continued to grow…

Dubai is full of hotels for every occasion, from flashy five star resorts to budget-friendly options and everything in between. But that doesn’t mean we won’t be getting plenty more.

This year, despite everything that has happened, we’ve still seen brand new hotels open in Dubai, from beachfront all-inclusive resorts to pet-friendly abodes.

So if you’re browsing for a new staycay location, we’ve rounded up six hotels that have opened their doors this year, and a few more still to open.

Address Sky View

Ok, so technically this stunning hotel opened at the very end of last year. But it made such an impact in 2020 that we couldn’t leave it off the list. From the unbeatable views, to the thriving rooftop bar Cé La Vi, Address Sky View is a bucket list property that everyone should tick off at some point.

Address Sky View, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Downtown Dubai, rates from Dhs959. addresshotels.com.

Me Dubai

The much-anticipated ME Dubai hotel, a branch world-renowned Melia hotels, opened its doors in Business Bay in February. The 93-room property resides within The Opus, an asymmetric architectural marvel designed by the late Zaha Hadid. It’s home to Maine Land Brasserie, Roka and new poolside restaurant Deseo.

Hotel Indigo

Hotel Indigo Lobby Seating Area

Pet-friendly Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown opened in October. Art plays a big part in the hotel’s aesthetic, with each floor dedicated to a different artist from the foundation. Found close to the banks of the Dubai Canal, much of the story surrounds the Creek and how it flows from ‘Old Dubai’ to the cosmopolitan landscape of Downtown Dubai. Wooden crates line the walls of each bedroom, with mother of pearl tiles in the ensuite and fairytale-inspired wallpaper depicting Abra boats floating above Burj Khalifa.
