The 156-key Staybridge Suites Mina Al Arab will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments blending contemporary design with spacious layouts
RAK Properties, a leading property developer in Ras Al Khaimah, has announced that it has expanded its strategic relationship with IHG Hotels & Resorts with the introduction of ‘Staybridge Suites Mina Al Arab’ on Hayat Island.
The 156-key Staybridge Suites Mina Al Arab will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments blending contemporary design with spacious layouts.
The 14-storey tower will feature a fully equipped fitness centre, breakfast and restaurant areas, combining idyllic island style living with the warm and authentic Arabic hospitality.
Guests will also have direct beach access as well as benefit from the luxurious offering of the InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Resort and Spa, located within walking distance.
IHG has had a successful partnership with RAK Properties since the signing and opening of InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah in 2022.
A testament to their collaborative excellence, the hotel is renowned for its luxurious accommodation, world-class dining options and exceptional spa experiences, making it an all-encompassing destination for travellers.
RAK Properties CEO Sameh Muhtadi said: "We are delighted to partner with one of the world’s leading hotel companies, IHG Hotels & Resorts, to open our first Staybridge Suites Mina Al Arab in Ras Al Khaimah. We’re witnessing a trend of blended stay, where guests arrive for business but then stay longer for personal travel, and we are plugging the gap for long serviced stay in the emirate."
"This concept will help us diversify and enhance our hospitality portfolio on Hayat Island, as well as contribute to our food & beverage offering as we look to add considerable additional appeal to our overall hospitality offering on Mina Al Arab," he stated.
Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, IHG Hotels & Resorts India, Middle East, and Africa, said: "Ras Al Khaimah is a breath of fresh air for domestic and international tourists alike, with its unique blend of natural beauty, history, and adventure."
"The emirate is known for its remarkable landscapes and is home to the highest mountain range in the UAE - making it the perfect location for an extended stay to relax, hike, wander, explore and more," stated Mattar.
Offering residential-style studios and suites with complimentary daily breakfast buffets, light bites, and a thrice-weekly happy hour, the brand prioritizes comfort and connectivity.
"Recognising RAK’s increasing potential in becoming a leading extended-stay destination, driven by RAK Tourism’s efforts in solidifying the emirates’ position as the regions fastest growing tourist destination, we have introduced Staybridge Suites Hotel Mina Al Arab - which reaffirms our commitment to providing exceptional experiences to our guests. We look forward to warmly welcoming travellers to experience the unmatched hospitality of this hotel and the exceptional beauty of RAK," he added.
Staybridge Suites Mina Al Arab will be the second development undertaken by the two entities, following the opening of the award-winning Intercontinental Ras Al Khaimah Resort and Spa in 2022. |
