NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta Opens After Major Hotel Transformation

The former Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel in Dubai has rebranded as NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta following a phased transformation, enhancing its accommodation, public spaces, and F&B offerings.

The Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel in Dubai has completed its transformation and reopened as the NH Collection Dubai Ibn Battuta, marking a new chapter for the 396-room property. Located adjacent to the Ibn Battuta Mall, the hotel now features refreshed accommodation and public areas, alongside an expanded array of dining, leisure, and social amenities.

The rebranding positions the hotel to cater to a diverse clientele including leisure travellers, families, business professionals, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) segments. Its strategic location offers convenient access to Dubai’s key business, entertainment, and tourism destinations.

Enhanced Guest Experience

The hotel’s accommodation spectrum has been upgraded, now including Collection, Superior, and Premium Rooms, as well as Junior, Family, and Terrace Pool Suites. Notable additions include selected two-bedroom configurations designed for families and extended stays, and Terrace Pool Suites featuring private outdoor areas with temperature-controlled pools. Guests in Club Rooms and suites benefit from exclusive Executive Lounge access.

Diverse Culinary Landscape

Dining has received a significant overhaul, with the introduction of international brand Benihana, offering its Japanese teppanyaki experience where chefs prepare dishes tableside. Two new concepts, Taste and Nomad, further diversify the food and beverage options. Taste serves as a contemporary all-day dining venue with global cuisines, while Nomad provides specialty coffee and wholesome bites in a relaxed setting. These new venues join existing favourites like Skyline Pool Bar, McGettigan’s, and Rodeo Drive, which offers American-inspired Tex-Mex cuisine and live entertainment.

Leisure and Business Facilities

Leisure amenities have been enhanced to include a rooftop swimming pool, a modern fitness centre, a spa, a beauty salon, and a Kids Club, providing options for relaxation and family activities. The hotel also retains its comprehensive meeting and event facilities, highlighted by 871 square metres of meeting space, complemented by flexible breakout areas for various corporate and social gatherings. This investment aims to strengthen the hotel's appeal across all segments, promising a distinctive and memorable guest experience in Dubai's evolving hospitality landscape.
