Newest addition highlights the company’s expansion plans to increase its footprint of mid-market and economy hotels across the Middle East
Dubai, UAE 21, September 2021 – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company by number of properties with approximately 9,000 hotels across nearly 95 countries, is further expanding its international footprint with the opening of the newly built 131-room Days Hotel by Wyndham Dubai Deira, its first property in the UAE under the renowned economy brand.
Ideally located close to Dubai’s popular landmarks with a direct access to the Dubai Metro, the launch of the Days Hotel by Wyndham Dubai Deira joins the recent openings of the Super 8 by Wyndham Dubai Deira and Wyndham Dubai Deira as part of the Deira Enrichment Project and as a continuation of Wyndham’s rapid growth across the region.
Days Inn by Wyndham is one of the largest and most recognised economy hotel brands in the world, with a global portfolio of 1,600 properties. The launch of Days Hotel by Wyndham Dubai Deira follows the brand’s debut in Turkey in June 2021 and marks the eighth hotel brand Wyndham has launched in the UAE, following the recent debut of the La Quinta by Wyndham brand in Bur Dubai.
Michel Augier, Regional Director, Middle East and Africa, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said: “Dubai is one of the most sought out destinations for travellers from all corners of the globe, looking for a variety of accommodation options, making it the ideal location to launch our Days Inn by Wyndham brand. The launch of the Days Hotel by Wyndham Dubai Deira perfectly complements the recently opened Wyndham Dubai Deira and the Super 8 by Wyndham Dubai Deira, which are already situated within the spectacular Deira Enrichment Project and our portfolio of over 60 hotels in the Middle East and Africa. We look forward to continuing to expand our brands and offerings in destinations we know our travellers want to be, such as the exciting and evolving destination of Dubai.”
Mr. Issam Galadari, CEO, Ithra Dubai said: “We are pleased to be partnering with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to bring even more accommodation options to our Deira Enrichment Project. Days Hotel by Wyndham Dubai Deira marks another key milestone in the development of the project and furthers the exciting growth of Dubai hospitality and tourism.”
The Deira Enrichment Project—a development by Ithra Dubai, a fully owned subsidiary of Investment Corporation of Dubai—is a mixed-use project situated along the Dubai creek and waterfront in the western part of Deira. With the goal of expanding the urban fabric of the existing Deira community towards the sea, the project is expected to become one of the largest waterfronts and man-made developments in the world.
The new Dubai property is located in one of the city’s bustling commercial hubs offering easy access to a number of leisure attractions, including the Dubai Creek, The Dubai Mall, the Dubai Frame, Deira Gold Souk and Jumeirah Mosque, as well as business hotspots such as the Dubai World Trade Centre and the city’s financial district. Days Hotel by Wyndham Dubai Deira will feature a total of 131 rooms, four separate event and meeting spaces and a host of additional amenities including a modern fitness centre, two restaurants and room service.
The new hotel adds to Wyndham’s current portfolio of 19 hotels in the UAE, including 11 in Dubai.
