A new chapter has arrived at one of Dubai’s established city
hotels with the launch of NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta. Following a significant phased
transformation of the former Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel Dubai, the 396-room property combines
refreshed accommodation and public spaces with an expanded collection of dining, leisure and
social experiences.
Located beside Ibn Battuta Mall and within easy reach of Dubai’s key business, leisure and
entertainment destinations, NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta brings together contemporary stays,
distinctive dining and facilities for both relaxation and connection, appealing to leisure, family,
business and MICE travellers.
The launch marks the latest addition to NH Collection’s growing UAE portfolio, joining NH
Collection Dubai The Palm, with further NH Collection openings planned in Ras Al Khaimah.
Akram Al Ameer, General Manager, NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta, said: “The rebranding to
NH Collection represents an important new chapter for the hotel. We have taken the strengths of an
established property and built on them through a significant investment programme, with greater
emphasis on contemporary design, quality, personalised service and the complete guest
experience. As Dubai’s hospitality landscape continues to evolve, NH Collection gives us an
opportunity to strengthen our appeal across leisure, corporate, group and MICE segments, while
creating an experience that feels distinctive, relevant and memorable.”
