The group’s diversified UAE brand portfolio includes 5 operating properties and 1,600 keys across, Dukes The Palm, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, Barceló Residences Dubai Marina, Occidental Sharjah Grand, Occidental Dubai Production City, and the recent launch of Occidental Al Jaddaf in the vibrant commercial district of Al Jaddaf in Dubai. 

José Canals, Managing Director Middle East and Asia Barceló Hotel Group says, “We have always been focused on enhancing our presence in the Middle East source markets and this agreement has allowed us to collaborate with AC/E and support them in representing the Spanish culture and heritage at the highest international level”.
