In a strategic expansion within Dubai’s luxury real estate sector, local developer AVENEW Development has entered into a significant agreement with global hospitality leader Hilton to establish the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Islands and Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands. This collaboration introduces the iconic luxury brand to one of Dubai’s most anticipated coastal developments, marking a pivotal moment in the city’s premium hospitality landscape.
The development will feature 150 meticulously designed guest rooms and suites alongside 120 branded residential units, creating a seamless blend of luxury accommodation and permanent living spaces. The hotel component will offer multiple dining experiences including a rooftop restaurant, all-day dining venue, specialty restaurant, signature bar, and the renowned Peacock Alley. Comprehensive lifestyle amenities will include outdoor pools, dedicated children’s facilities, fitness studio, and a luxury spa.
This project represents AVENEW Development’s sixth venture within the master-planned waterfront community and its second branded residence on Dubai Islands. The initiative capitalizes on Dubai’s established global leadership in luxury hospitality and the growing demand for premium branded residences, which have evolved from a niche market into a leading global asset class.
Rasha Hassan, Managing Partner of AVENEW Development, emphasized the strategic nature of the collaboration: ‘This partnership responds directly to evolving global wealth patterns and sophisticated buyer expectations. These residences represent best-in-class homes designed to deliver enduring value through globally recognized service standards.’
Carlos Khneisser, Hilton’s Chief Development Officer for Middle East & Africa, noted: ‘Waldorf Astoria consistently sets luxury benchmarks in the world’s most desirable destinations. We’re excited to collaborate with AVENEW Development to bring this iconic property to Dubai Islands, expanding our luxury portfolio across the region.’
The development exemplifies AVENEW’s commitment to creating celebrated living spaces that combine architectural excellence with functional elegance, designed for those seeking timeless sophistication and unmatched service reflective of Waldorf Astoria’s storied heritage.
