A new Five Hotel is set to open in the UAE.
Five Beach, which was formerly under construction as the Corinthia in Dubai's Jumeirah Beach Residence, has been acquired by Five and subsequently rebranded.
It is expected to open in 2023, comprising 227 suites, 102 serviced residences, seven culinary and nightlife venues, a spa, a social swimming pool and stretch of private beach.
Thanks to its JBR location, the property will overlook the Arabian Sea and boast views of Ain Dubai.
It will be the Five portfolio's third hotel in the emirate, alongside Five Palm Jumeirah and Five Jumeirah Village, and fourth hotel in total when Five Zurich opens its doors in 2022.
