Hyatt Launches New Luxury Hotel in Old Dubai’s Historic District

Hyatt Place Dubai/Wasl District opened late last month as the 10th Hyatt property in the United Arab Emirates. Part of the casual and contemporary Hyatt Place brand, the hotel delivers stylish, affordable accommodations designed for busy travelers. Located in Old Dubai, the property offers easy access to nearby entertainment, shopping and cultural attractions.

The hotel features more than 200 guestrooms, including 10 suites, all designed for comfort and convenience. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and remote printing are available for guests, and the property includes a grab‑and‑go market for quick snacks and essentials. A kitchen and café serve fresh breakfasts and multi‑cuisine lunches and dinners, and a coffee and beverage bar is on site for light refreshments throughout the day.

Facilities also include a 24‑hour fitness center, a rooftop pool with city views and generous meeting and event spaces suitable for business gatherings and social occasions. These amenities aim to meet the needs of both leisure and business travelers seeking a seamless stay with practical conveniences.

“We look forward to hosting guests both local and international alike as we introduce them to the modern comforts of a Hyatt Place property,” said Fathi Khogaly, general manager of Hyatt Place Dubai/Wasl District. “The hotel will provide travelers with a unique stay through the design, amenities and warm hospitality offered by the entire team.”

Kurt Straub, vice president of operations for the Middle East, Africa and South West Asia at Hyatt, highlighted the brand’s regional growth: “The decision to introduce a third Hyatt Place property stems from its seamless integration into the city’s contemporary appeal, prioritizing consistent development. We’re seeing increased guest demand for our select‑service portfolio and are meeting that demand across the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We plan to continue expanding our brand presence across the Middle East as part of our development pipeline for the region.”

With its blend of practical amenities, modern design and a central location in Old Dubai, Hyatt Place Dubai/Wasl District aims to offer reliable, comfortable accommodations at a competitive price point. The property is positioned to serve both short‑stay visitors and extended‑stay guests who value easy access to the city’s attractions as well as on‑site conveniences that support work and leisure needs.
