Meraas, in an effort to expand its hotel line, will establish Evado, Re Vera, Vivus and MQ. Each will open close to Ain Dubai &#8211; a London Eye-type attraction at Bluewaters. Re Vera and Vivus resorts will open next year, it said in a statement. Abdulla Al Habbai, the Meraas group chairman, said that Dubai fostered a hotelier sector on par with international hospitality brands. &#8220;We are confident that the new brands that we&#8217;re introducing will enrich the sector, offer modern choices and reinforce Dubai&#8217;s position as a leading tourism destination,&#8221; he said. Luxury brands include the boutique Evado and Re Vera, while Vivus aims to grab upper upscale guests and MQ will be an upper-midscale brand. The company said the new hotels will have &#8220;distinct brand attributes with amenities and services carefully curated to cater to the specific needs of travellers and visitors to the cities&#8221;, both individuals and families.Meraas is working on building the island&#8217;s community, which will also include premium apartments, penthouses and town houses as well as about 200 expected retail and dining outlets.Meraas said last month that construction work on the Bluewaters island is now 75 per cent complete, with the project moving on from its structural phase to building finishes. Meraas is behind developments that include City Walk, The Beach, Boxpark, Last Exit and The Outlet Village.Dubai had 681 hotels and hotel apartments at the end of last year, with an increase in visitors over the year of almost 5 per cent to 14.9 million, according to the emirate&#8217;s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing. Dubai reported a 12 per cent year-on-year growth over the first two months of the year with 3 million visitors. lgraves@thenational.aeFollow The National&#8217;s Business section on Twitter&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : thenational.ae&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenational.ae\/business\/property\/meraas-plans-new-hotel-brands-at-bluewaters-island-in-dubai\" target=\"_blank\">Meraas plans new hotel brands at Bluewaters Island in Dubai<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; Dubai-based developer Meraas on Wednesday announced plans to build four hotel brands near the upcoming&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-drP","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":49144,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/meraas-bluewaters-island-in-dubai-moves-into-the-building-finishes-stage\/","url_meta":{"origin":51697,"position":0},"title":"Meraas&#039; Bluewaters Island in Dubai moves into the &#039;building-finishes&#039; stage","date":"March 22, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r The developer of the Dh6 billion Bluewaters Island off the coast of the Jumeirah Beach Residence island in Dubai said work is nearing completion.
