Four Seasons to open first Dubai hotel in 2014

Hotel brand Four Seasons has signed a deal with Dubai-based Bright Start to launch its first property in the emirate.

The 237-room Four Seasons Jumeirah Beach Resort, located on the city’s Jumeirah Beach Road, is expected to open in mid-2014, the Canada-based operator announced today.

Bright Start is developing the new resort and has appointed H&H Investment and Development as the development manager.

The property will be situated on an 11 acre natural waterfront site along the Gulf. It has been designed by architect WATG, with interior design by San Fransisco-based BAMO.

According to Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts CEO Kathleen Taylor, the resort will target a mix of leisure and business guests, as well as incentive groups.
