Meydan Hotel Dubai Kerzner Reopening

The much-anticipated Meydan Hotel Dubai Kerzner reopening marks a new era for one of Dubai's most recognisable landmarks. This luxury hotel property, now managed by Kerzner International, officially relaunched on 15 January 2026 as part of their Rare Finds collection. According to the official announcement, this significant transformation aligns the property with Kerzner's global luxury standards, offering a fresh experience at the Meydan Hotel Dubai.

This luxury hotel Dubai reopening marks a strategic shift for the trackside property, bringing it into the same portfolio as Atlantis and One&Only. The integration into Kerzner International's Rare Finds Dubai collection adds a major leisure destination back to the city's map. This move signals Kerzner's continued expansion in Dubai, following the launch of Bab Al Shams under the same Rare Finds vertical in 2023.

The New Vision for Meydan Hotel Dubai under Kerzner Management

The hotel retains its distinctive wave-like structure and green glass façade but features a refreshed interior. The 284 rooms and suites have been redesigned to emphasise space and natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies. Room sizes are generous even by Dubai standards, starting at 62 square metres.

  • Rooms: 284 redesigned units starting at 62 sqm
  • Suites: Top-tier suites span 370 sqm across two floors
  • Views: Direct trackside views of the Meydan Racecourse

"The Meydan Hotel holds so many memories for so many people and has its own unique place in Dubai’s hospitality landscape," said Ziad Sleiman, General Manager of The Meydan Hotel. "Our mission is to build on the legacy of this legendary hotel while infusing it with Kerzner’s vibrant energy."

Why Kerzner International's Rare Finds Management Matters for Meydan Hotel Dubai

For the local business ecosystem, this Meydan Hotel Dubai Kerzner reopening represents the consolidation of key hospitality assets under experienced operators. Dubai Holding Hospitality owns the asset, but bringing in Kerzner International—known for managing high-yield luxury properties, including those in the Kerzner International Rare Finds Dubai portfolio—suggests a push to maximise the hotel's potential beyond just the horse racing season.

The Kerzner International Rare Finds Dubai brand focuses on properties with a distinct identity. By placing Meydan in this category, Kerzner is positioning it as a lifestyle destination rather than just a business or transit hotel near the racecourse.
