Swissotel to open first Dubai hotel in 2016

By Danny King

Luxury hotel brand Swissotel will start operations in Dubai when it opens the Swissotel Jadaf Dubai in 2016.

The 280-room hotel will be one of three in Dubai’s Al Jadaf district that will also have apartments and retail space.

Swissotel, which operates more than three dozen hotels worldwide, will open its first hotel in the Middle East next month. Saudi Arabia’s Swissotel Makkah will have 1,562 rooms.
