MKM Commercial Holdings has signed a deal with Sofitel to manage and operate its tower project at Wafi Mall.
Expected to open in early 2019, Sofitel Dubai Wafi will feature 501 luxury guestrooms, inclusive of 86 suites, in addition to 97 serviced residences to be operated on an extended-stay basis.
The hotel will be Sofitels fifth in the UAE and joins Abu Dhabi Corniche, Downtown Dubai, the Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach Residences.
Located adjacent to Raffles Dubai, both properties will form a luxury cluster within Wafi offering guests a range of shared amenities and services.
H.H. Sheikh Manna Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Chairman of MKM Commercial Holdings said: We are excited to sign this agreement with AccorHotels, our trusted partner for the Sofitel Dubai Wafi.
We are confident that the Sofitel, through its distinct brand positioning and expertise in the luxury segment, will be able to complement our existing Raffles Dubai while cementing the strength of hospitality offerings present within the expanded and revitalized Wafi.
