ASB Hospitality has appointed Dutco Construction as the main contractor for the Gran Meliá Hotel Dubai Jumeirah. Set to be the first beachfront property under the Gran Meliá brand in the UAE, the resort will be a addition to Dubai’s luxury hospitality sector.
Located on the prime headland of Port De La Mer in Jumeirah, the development spans a plot totalling 31,066sqm, and will have a gross floor area (GFA) of 42,522sqm and built-up area of 88,909 sqm. The resort will offer views of the Arabian Gulf from three sides of the hotel and Dubai skyline.
“The Gran Meliá Hotel – Dubai Jumeirah represents more than just another hotel; it’s a lifestyle destination, born from the strategic partnership between ASB Hospitality and Meliá Hotels International. This collaboration brings together a wealth of expertise and vision to create an exceptional guest experience. By partnering with Dutco Construction, renowned for their excellence and precision, we are confident that our ambitious vision will be realised to the highest standards of quality and luxury,” said Heddo Siebs, CEO of ASB Hospitality.

Partnering with ASB Hospitality on such a visionary development is a privilege, and we are committed to delivering a resort that will become the next icon in Dubai’s skyline.”
Lead consultant and project architect MOMA known for innovative and context-driven designs says the hotel concept draws inspiration from the elegant contours of an oyster shell. This ensures all guest balconies are oriented towards the sea to maximise the views. The interiors, designed by Lagranja Studio, add a modern, aesthetic and creating a blend of luxury and comfort, it added.
