The Rezidor Hotel Group is set to open a new 220-room hotel under its Radisson Blu brand, the fourth to launch in the Emirate.
Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Downtown, is due to open early next year, on the upper floors of a mixed use building.
Kurt Ritter, president and CEO of Rezidor, said: "Despite the slowdown, Dubai continues to have the highest RevPAR worldwide and is an interesting market for Rezidor - and one of our focus areas in the Middle East."
The hotel will have an all day dining-restaurant, a speciality restaurant, a pub, two bars (including a rooftop pool bar), an executive lounge, a swimming pool, a gym and a spa.
Meeting facilities will include six conference rooms, two board rooms, and a business centre.
The hotel will be within a few minutes' drive of Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai International Exhibition Centre and Dubai International Financial Centre.
Rezidor already manages the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek, the Radisson Blu Residence, Dubai Marina, and the Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Media City.
