Corinthia Hotels, an international hotel chain, has partnered with Dubai General Properties to build a landmark hotel and residential development in Dubai. Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the two-tower structure will rise above 500 metres and will be one of the world’s tallest buildings. Slated for completion by 2030, the two towers will be conjoined by a cantilevered sky lobby extending over 200 metres above the ground, visible from both the north and south elevations.
With a total built-up area expected to be 330,000 square metres, the towers will comprise the five-star Corinthia Dubai hotel, alongside Corinthia-branded serviced penthouses and apartments. Guests and residents will have access to Corinthia Wellness that includes indoor and outdoor pools, fitness equipment, personal trainers and a team of health and wellbeing experts. The development will be accessed by four distinct entry points enabling fluid movement of traffic.
Simon Casson, CEO of Corinthia Hotels, said, “We are proud and honoured to be bringing the Corinthia brand to Dubai, a city I know and love from my decade-long residence here. This architectural gem honours the ambitious vision set forth by the inspired leadership of Dubai and is made possible by our valued partnership with Dubai General Properties. Both hotel and residences will be defining in their design and level of aspirational luxury; matched only by the elevated, intuitive service levels delivered by the people of Corinthia, with the Spirit of Corinthia.”
Dubai General Properties have appointed AtkinsRéalis as lead architect and engineering consultants. The development will be managed by the projects division of Corinthia Group, QP company.

It will feature the world’s highest outdoor sky pool, soaring over 500 metres with panoramic 360-degree views.
