The Royal Development Holding Company, a prominent real estate developer focused on luxury projects and part of the UAE’s ESG Stallions Group, has announced plans to open the ‘Malls Side Curio Collection by Hilton’ hotel, welcoming guests in the first quarter of 2027. This anticipated development is currently in the final stages of construction.
Prime Location in Dubai Hills Estate
The Mall Side hotel boasts a strategic location in the Dubai Hills Estate, featuring direct connectivity to the Dubai Hills Mall through a suspended pedestrian bridge. This prime positioning places guests in close proximity to one of Dubai’s leading shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. Its accessibility also ensures that visitors can easily reach various parts of the surrounding area, making it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travellers.
Commitment to Quality
Tarik Nazzal, CEO of Royal Development Holding Company, expressed that the Mall Side hotel represents a significant advancement in the company’s hospitality endeavours. He remarked, “It reflects our strategy to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets in markets with strong long-term growth potential.” Nazzal also emphasised Dubai’s evolving role as a global hub for tourism, business, and investment, creating continuous opportunities within the hospitality and branded residential sectors.
Strategic Partnership with Hilton
The collaboration with Hilton exemplifies their approach to capitalise on these opportunities by combining Hilton’s global hospitality expertise with their own development capabilities and market knowledge. “The Mall Side hotel reinforces our intent to expand our presence in the hospitality sector of the UAE,” added Nazzal.
Leadership and Operational Excellence
Najy Najati has been appointed General Manager of the Mall Side Curio Collection by Hilton, taking charge of the hotel’s opening phase. With over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, including leadership roles at Hilton and Four Seasons, Najati will oversee the hotel’s operational strategies and team management, utilising his extensive global market experience to establish the hotel’s reputation and operational direction.
A Focus on Guest Experience
Expressing his vision for the hotel, Najati stated, “The identity of the hotel is defined by the impression it leaves on its guests and the experiences they have during their stay. At the Mall Side, we will focus on providing a personalised and seamless hospitality experience that reflects the nature of the location and its surroundings, while upholding the quality and service standards synonymous with the Curio Collection by Hilton.” As they prepare for the opening, one of their primary goals is to cultivate a workplace culture that combines the highest operational standards with flexibility, initiative, and attentiveness to guests’ individual needs, ensuring tailored services that exceed expectations.
