Dubai-based master developer Nakheel has awarded a 136 million dirham ($37 million) construction contract to Al Ghurair Contracting and Engineering Works for its second hotel at the Dragon City.
With a total project value of 176 million dirhams, the 304-room Premier Inn hotel is one of the 16 new properties in Nakheel’s three billion dirham hospitality portfolio with over 5,300 rooms.
Premier Inn Dragon City is one of two Nakheel hotels managed by the British hospitality brand. The first, a 372-room hotel at Ibn Battuta Mall, opened in October 2017.
Set for delivery in 2019, the hotel will have a restaurant, Costa coffee shop and gym. The hotel will span 178,000 square feet over eight floors.
Nakheel’s Dragon City is a mixed-use community comprising four million sqft of retail space, a twin-tower residential complex with 1,120 apartments and two hotels with 516 rooms between them.
