Ennismore, part of the Accor Group and Banyan Tree Group, has inked a deal with Dubai Holding to open Banyan Tree Dubai on Bluewaters Island. Banyan Tree Dubai will replace the existing Caesars Palace Dubai and following a phased stage of brand related upscaling improvements, the repositioned resort will feature 179 rooms, including 30 suites and a brand-new four-bedroom villa with its own private entrance, pool and beach.
The resort will have five restaurants and bars, each carefully curated through a collaboration between Ennismore’s in-house culinary concept studio, Carte Blanched, and Banyan Tree Group to offer guests a diverse culinary experience. At the core of the property will be its wellness offering with the signature Banyan Tree Spa featuring its own reception, relaxation area, gym, indoor and outdoor yoga spaces, dedicated refreshment space, private mini rainforests, hydrotherapy pools and treatment rooms. Banyan Tree Dubai will also include 96 private residences comprising one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units with a dedicated lobby, outdoor swimming pool and access to the hotel’s facilities. The announcement of this project marks the beginning of a larger hotel and brand development partnership between Accor and Dubai Holding, with multiple projects in the pipeline.
