Capella to debut in Dubai with 115-key hotel by 2030

Capella Hotel Group has announced the development of its first Dubai property, Capella Dubai, which will offer 115 keys including suites with private pools and a 600-square-metre suite. The project is being developed by H&H and designed by Denniston, and will be located at Dubai Peninsula, a 210-acre waterfront destination where the Dubai Water Canal meets the Arabian Sea.

The hotel will include five dining and social venues, a nearly 70-metre rooftop pool, a family pool and a children's club at beach level. It will also offer a wellness programme featuring Auriga Spa, a fitness centre, a studio and outdoor fitness area, along with a ballroom, two meeting rooms and an outdoor event lawn.

Roland Fasel, President of Capella Hotel Group, said the Middle East "shares our appreciation for craftsmanship, culture and exceptional service, making it a natural home for Capella," adding that the 2030 opening would further establish the brand's presence in the region.

Shahab Lutfi, Chairman of H&H, said Capella Dubai "will introduce a more intimate, service-led hospitality experience to the city's resort landscape."
