The Middle East and Africa (MEA) paper and pulp industry is on a growth surge, poised to cross over $20 billion in the next six to seven years
The 372-room hotel, managed by Premier Inn Hotels, was inaugurated on Sunday by Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah and Adam Nicholls, managing director of Premier Inn Hotels.
It is the second of 14 Dubai hotels by Nakheel and one of two at Ibn Battuta Mall, which is currently undergoing a Dh700 million expansion. Nakheel's first hotel at Dragon Mart opened earlier this year.
Premier Inn Dubai Ibn Battuta is directly connected to both the mall and the Ibn Battuta Metro station. Hotel facilities include an all-day restaurant, Costa coffee shop, swimming pool, gym and business centre with meeting and conference rooms. Guests can also enjoy free, 24-hour Wi-Fi access.
Lootah said: "Our huge hotel expansion is rapidly gathering pace. This is one of 14 projects in our hotel pipeline that will bring more than 5,200 new hotel rooms to Dubai by 2020, which in turn will contribute significantly to realising the government's tourism vision."
Nicholls said: "Our new home at Ibn Battuta represents Premier Inn's seventh location in the UAE. We expect this hotel to become a popular destination for residents in and around the local community as well as the first choice for business travel and families visiting Dubai."
Premier Inn is also the operating partner for Nakheel's second hotel at Dragon Mart, due to open in 2018.
