DUBAI, UAE; UAE-headquartered real estate and hospitality developer Seven Tides has officially launched NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta, following a significant phased transformation and repositioning of the former Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel Dubai.

Seven Tides owns the 396-room property, while Minor Hotels operates it. The hotel represents the latest development within Seven Tides’ hospitality portfolio and builds on the company’s existing relationship with Minor Hotels, which also operates NH Collection Dubai The Palm.

Located adjacent to Ibn Battuta Mall, the rebranded hotel has undergone an extensive programme of enhancements across guestrooms, suites and public areas. The transformation introduces new food and beverage concepts and upgrades the wider guest experience.

Ghanim Bin Sulayem, Group CEO & Managing Director, Seven Tides, said: “NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta represents an important investment in one of our established hospitality assets and reflects our long-term approach to creating and enhancing properties that respond to the continued evolution of Dubai’s tourism and hospitality sector.”

Bin Sulayem added: “Our partnership with Minor Hotels has already enabled us to successfully introduce the NH Collection brand to Dubai through NH Collection Dubai The Palm. Building on that relationship, we identified a clear opportunity to reposition Ibn Battuta under the same premium brand, while investing in the property to strengthen its appeal across leisure, corporate, group and MICE segments.”

NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta offers 396 rooms and suites, ranging from Collection, Superior and Premium Rooms to Junior, Family and Terrace Pool Suites. Selected two-bedroom configurations cater to families and longer-stay guests, while Club Rooms and suites provide access to the Executive Lounge. Terrace Pool Suites offer private outdoor spaces with temperature-controlled pools.

The repositioning has also strengthened the property’s food and beverage proposition. Japanese teppanyaki restaurant Benihana forms a key part of the offering, joined by new concepts Taste, a contemporary all-day dining destination, and Nomad, a café concept serving speciality coffee and wholesome bites. Existing venues include Skyline Pool Bar, McGettigan’s and Rodeo Drive.

The hotel also offers a comprehensive leisure and business offering, including a rooftop swimming pool, fitness centre, spa, beauty salon, Kids Club, and an 871-square-metre meeting space supported by flexible breakout spaces for conferences, corporate events, and private functions.
