Dubai, UAE –  Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, has expanded its presence in the United Arab Emirates with the opening of Mövenpick Dubai Creek, following the rebranding of the former Golden Sands Hotel Creek. Rooted in Mövenpick’s Swiss heritage and culinary origins, the conversion introduces a place of joyful reconnection to one of Dubai’s most historic waterfront districts, where generous care, inviting spaces and convivial food moments bring people together. The opening further strengthens Accor’s premium footprint in the city.

Located along the banks of Dubai Creek and just a 10-minute drive from Dubai International Airport, Mövenpick Dubai Creek offers convenient access to the city’s cultural and commercial landmarks. From Deira’s iconic spice and gold souks to traditional Abra crossings and heritage neighbourhoods, the hotel places guests at the crossroads of Dubai’s past and present. Its proximity to established business districts also makes the hotel a compelling choice for both business and leisure travellers seeking authenticity alongside convenience.

The hotel features 150 rooms and suites, combining contemporary comfort with functional elegance. Many rooms offer views across Dubai Creek and the city skyline, while generous layouts create space to gather, unwind or extend stays with ease. Facilities include two versatile meeting rooms for corporate gatherings and private events, wellness amenities, outdoor terraces, and curated leisure spaces designed to support reconnection.

Culinary experiences sit at the heart of the Mövenpick Dubai Creek experience, continuing the brand’s belief that memorable moments are often shared around the table. Mornings begin the Mövenpick way, with a breakfast experience rooted in wellbeing and generosity. From healthy shots and fresh juices to locally inspired dishes, each offering surprising delights thoughtfully crafted to energise guests for the day ahead. As the day unfolds, dining moments evolve into relaxed social experiences and elevated culinary encounters, celebrating quality ingredients, live cooking and the pleasure of sharing good food. Guests can also enjoy Mövenpick’s world-renowned Chocolate Hour, a daily ritual that brings Swiss indulgence to life through handcrafted chocolate creations paired with signature Mövenpick coffee.

“The opening of Mövenpick Dubai Creek reflects our continued focus on strengthening well-established destinations through meaningful brand conversions,” said Raki Phillips, Regional President, Premium, Midscale and Economy Division, Middle East, Africa & Türkiye, at Accor. “Supported by trusted partners, this rebranding brings Mövenpick’s generous hospitality and culinary-led identity to this iconic Creekside location, while reinforcing our long-term commitment to the UAE market.”

 “Mövenpick Dubai Creek connects the character of timeless Dubai with a fresh, contemporary spirit.” said Michael Goetz, Cluster General Manager of Mövenpick Dubai Creek. “From wellness-led mornings to social dining moments and live culinary experiences, every detail reflects Mövenpick’s belief in ordinary things done in an extraordinary way, shaped by warmth, care and genuine hospitality.”
