Cristal Hospitality Group, a leading UAE-based hotel management company, has announced an official agreement with Qalhat Al Batra to develop the flagship Grand Cristal Erbil Hotel in Erbil, Iraq. Scheduled to open in late 2028, this development has been conceived in collaboration with the architectural and engineering consultancy Arif & Bintoak, the firm behind some of the UAE’s most iconic landmarks, including Burj Khalifa.

The five-star Grand Cristal Erbil Hotel will feature a distinctive, curving architectural design with 210 rooms and suites. The hotel will offer two levels of indoor and outdoor dining and Iraq’s largest banqueting venues in addition to wellness and leisure facilities, including a luxury spa, gym, and swimming pool.

Kamal Fakhoury, Chief Executive Officer of the Cristal Group, said, “Having operated in Iraq since 2013, we are proud to be expanding our luxury portfolio through this landmark collaboration with Qalhat Al Batra at the heart of Erbil. This pioneering development further strengthens our position as Iraq’s foremost hotel management company and redefines what is possible for refined, personalised hospitality in the region.”

Ideally located in the heart of Erbil, the Grand Cristal Erbil Hotel will be positioned within close proximity to the English and Italian villages, Royal City, and the 200-hectare Samî Abdulrahman Park with its expansive lawns, lakes, and entertainment complexes.
