UAE: Cheval Collection, has announced the launch of its first serviced apartment offering outside of the UK, in Dubai.
The property will be under its Cheval Maison brand, and is due to open early next year.
Cheval Maison – The Palm Dubai, will be located at New Golden Mile 3 on the Palm Jumeirah and is set to be the brand’s third property, as well as the first to open outside the UK.
Cheval Maison’s first property, Lexham Gardens by Cheval Maison, opened in July 2021 in Kensington, London. In 2024, Cheval Maison will also expand into Glasgow with 70 apartments, giving Cheval Collection a multi-brand presence in the city alongside the recently announced MY Locanda Glasgow.
Cheval Maison – Palm Dubai will offer 131 apartments with 100 one-bedroom apartments, 20 two-bedroom apartments, 10 three-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom penthouse.
Guests will be able to enjoy a range of facilities, including the ground floor lobby lounge, a gymnasium and rooftop pool with a bar and terrace area.
The property’s owner and developer, Nakheel, also operates the adjacent Nakheel Mall with more than 140 shops and 30 dining outlets, ranging from coffee shops to Michelin star dining experiences, a cinema and a family entertainment zone.
Mohammed S. Alawadhi, managing director for Cheval Collection, said: “Our vision to take on new management contracts both in the domestic and overseas markets is coming to life. Signing with a group of Nakheel’s pedigree illustrates the strength of our brands and the growing profile we have around the world. Dubai has a well-earned reputation for luxury, and we know that Cheval Maison will be a strong addition to the emirate as it further develops its tourism offering.”
John Philipson, chief operating officer for Cheval Collection said: “It’s been an amazing journey seeing the Cheval Collection brand expand not only in the United Kingdom, but also internationally. This gives us an indication of what our customers are looking for, with more people having an appetite for flexible accommodation whilst travelling for business or leisure. With this in mind, we want to ensure that we are providing them with the ultimate experience, which is key and at the heart of what we do here at Cheval Collection.”
Cheval Collection, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, has three brands:
Cheval Maison, which now has three properties, Cheval Residences – which has eight residences in London and three in Edinburgh including Cheval The Edinburgh Grand, Cheval Old Town Chambers and Cheval Abbey Strand Apartments at Holyrood. The third brand is the recently launched MY Locanda urban lifestyle brand which will open in Glasgow in 2024.
