The opening of NH Collection Dubai The Palm represents the debut of the NH Collection brand in the Middle East. Owned by Seven Tides, luxury real estate and hospitality developers, and managed by Minor Hotels, parent company of NH Hotel Group, joins an existing portfolio of over 90 NH Collection properties worldwide.
We spoke to Manish Jha, General Manager, for more insights into the recent opening. “The NH Collection brings a unique approach to hospitality in the Middle East, where guests are invited to feel the place and truly connect with the soul of the destination. While staying in harmony with the region’s culture and traditions, we maintain a contemporary focus and incorporate elements of both into the signature NH Collection style.
“We want our guests to experience the local character while enjoying remarkable encounters both within and beyond our property,” says Jha.
The new-build 532-key hotel is located shoreside on the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah with direct access to West Palm Beach and spectacular views across the Dubai skyline.
NH Collection Hotels, listed under GHA DISCOVERY, a multi-brand loyalty programme, will grow with the launch of two new hotels in Doha and another property in Dubai later this year, confirms Jha. At the same time, NH Collection Dubai The Palm looks forward to the opening of SEEN rooftop lounge and bar later this year. A new beach club and restaurant along Palm West Beach will also open soon to guests and visitors alike, Jha tells us.
“Sustainability is at the heart of what we do at NH Collection Dubai The Palm. We are working with local suppliers and companies to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure we do our part. From partnering with local farmers for the freshest organic produce to having our apiary on the property where we will harvest honey for use within the restaurants. In addition, we have all vegan and sustainable amenities in our guest rooms, and we are also looking forward to building our own hydroponic farms for herbs and greens.”
