Vida continues expansion with the opening of Vida Creek Harbour in Dubai

Brand’s fourth UAE hotel offers guests views of the waterfront and Downtown Dubai skyline.

The Vida Creek Harbour hotel has officially opened – the brand’s fourth UAE property and the second to open this year.

Located at Dubai Creek Harbour, the new hotel offers breath-taking views of the waterfront and Dubai’s iconic Downtown Dubai skyline.

A sister property to Vida Emirates Hills, where the 2019 identity Design Awards ceremony took place in October, Vida Creek Harbour has been designed by Santiago Calatrava.

The brands say that the “impeccably designed interiors, stylish furniture and signature Vida aesthetic lend the hotel a ‘home away from home’ feel.”

Vida Creek Harbour boasts 286 rooms and suites, together with five versatile meeting rooms and a number of co-working spaces. There is also a fully-equipped fitness centre equipped with the latest strength equipment, cardio machines, treadmills and stationary bikes, while the open-air pool overlooks the Creek Harbour and Downtown Dubai skyline.

Dining options include the laid-back Stage2 and the all-day Courtyard. Located at the outdoor terrace at Vida Creek Harbour, the Courtyard offers unparalleled views of the Downtown Dubai skyline at any time of day. The menu includes Mediterranean and Modern European favourites.

The new property is Vida’s first to open in the increasingly vibrant Dubai Creek Harbour, the scene of much development currently.

It is located close to Dubai’s key business districts, while nearby attractions include Creek Beach, Dubai Square, Creek Marina, Dubai Creek Tower and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
