Time Hotels Management has announced the signing of a new agreement to operate Dunes Hotel Apartments’ three properties located in Dubai.

The UAE-headquartered company took over day-to-day operations of the properties following the signing of a management agreement in Dubai between Mohamed Awadalla, chief executive of Time Hotels, and Abdallah Mohamed Jaber Al Harbi, owner, Dunes Hotel Apartments.

Commenting on the new management agreement, Awadalla said: “Our partnership with Dunes Hotel Apartments further reinforces our growth strategy to expand our footprint in the UAE with further openings in Dubai, and Sharjah, as well as other properties across the region in Saudi Arabia and Egypt – taking our total portfolio to 20 properties by the end of 2020.

“Time hotels have a great deal of experience across the UAE, and more importantly an in-depth understanding of how to add value and drive in business.”

Time Dunes Hotel Apartment Al Barsha comprises 83 rooms, while Time Dunes Hotel Apartments Al Qusais features 108 rooms and Time Dunes Hotel Apartments Oud Metha has 80 rooms in total.

All three properties include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments – with the Al Barsha property also offering three-bedroom penthouse apartments.

All three properties will undergo a rebrand in February.

Al Harbi added: “Time Hotels was appointed to manage all three Dunes Hotel Apartments in Dubai, because it is a dynamic and flexible hospitality company, with a wealth of experience, successfully running midscale properties in the UAE and across the Middle East, delivering a consistently high-quality hospitality experience.”
