Dubai has more hotels under construction or planning today than ever before with special focus on Dubai hotel suites. According to research by The Consulting House, a new hotel consulting firm based in Dubai, there are 31 new 5- and 4-star Dubai hotel suites properties either being built or confirmed for future construction in the city, containing a total of 11,770 rooms and hotel suites in Dubai, plus 1,305 hotel apartments.
"Dubai hotel suites has a history of rapid growth, having increased its supply from 167 hotels with 9,383 rooms in 1993 to 272 hotels with 23,170 rooms in 2002, but today's 'giant leap' forward in future Dubai hotel suites supply is quite unprecedented," said Guy Wilkinson, director of The Consulting House.
"This confirmed growth for Dubai hotel suites is in addition to at least 100 other hotels, which are planned at The Palm, Jebel Ali and Dubailand, for example, for which details are as yet unconfirmed."
The new Dubai hotel suites include some landmark properties that are sure to join the Burj Al Arab, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the Emirates Towers as icons of the world's hotel industry. For example, the new Dubai hotel suites, Armani Hotel, the first of a new chain of boutique hotels created by Emaar Properties in association with the famous Italian fashion designer, Georgio Armani, will be located inside the 560 metres high Burj Dubai, the future tallest tower in the world.
Another skyscraper, the nearby Forex Rotana Suites in the upcoming Dubai International Financial Centre free zone will offer 480 suites in a 72-storey tower.
Atlantis, the Palm, will eventually offer 2,000 low-rise hotel suites in Dubai on the Crescent of The Palm, Jumeirah, with the region's largest water theme park, including an underwater archaeological 'dig' themed on Atlantis.
The amazing Hydropolis Hotel will become the world's first underwater hotel, with 300 hotel suites in Dubai at a depth of 20 metres off the Jumeirah Coast.
Many of the confirmed new Dubai hotel suites will be built within Dubai's new real estate 'mega projects,' including The Palm, Dubai Festival City, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers.
However, it is Dubailand, billed as the future Orlando of the Middle East, which looks set to become the focus of Dubai hotel suites construction, following an announcement that it will contain 50 hotels of 1,000 rooms each.
