Rove Hotels, the contemporary lifestyle hotel brand developed as a joint venture between global property developer Emaar Properties and Meraas, a Dubai-based leading holding company, is set to expand its portfolio with a new property, Rove At The Park, adjacent to Dubai Parks and Resorts, the region's upcoming largest integrated theme park destination taking shape in Jebel Ali.
Rove Hotels will define a new niche in Dubai's hospitality sector and celebrate the quintessence of the city with its unique approach of delivering value hospitality experiences for the young in age and young-at-heart global traveller, who explore without borders. Rove Hotels plans to operate 10 hotels with over 2,660 keys to support the ongoing preparation for Expo 2020 Dubai. The first property - the brand's maiden initiative in the region, Rove Downtown Dubai - is scheduled to open in the coming months at a central location in the city.
The new 458-room Rove At The Park will be strategically located off Sheikh Zayed Road, close to Palm Jebel Ali midway between the Dubai and Abu Dhabi International Airports. It will complement the ambience offered by the three theme parks and water park which are part of the Dubai Parks and Resorts destination.
Dubai Parks and Resorts will become the region's largest integrated theme park destination, set to open in 2016. This resort comprises three separate theme parks: motiongate™ Dubai, a Hollywood movie inspired theme park showcasing some of Hollywood's most beloved characters from DreamWorks Animation, Sony Pictures Studios and Lionsgate; LEGOLAND® Dubai, the first LEGOLAND theme park in the Middle East; and Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, a first-of-its-kind entertainment destination that will showcase the authentic Bollywood movie experience. In addition LEGOLAND® Water Park, the region's first water park catering to families with children 2-12 will also open on the site. The destination will also host the Lapita™ Hotel, a Polynesian-themed hotel, and Riverland™ Dubai, a centrally located retail, dining and entertainment district that serves as the gateway to the resort.
