Avani Hotels & Resorts continues its dynamic expansion with the launch of its first new-build hotel in the Middle East region—Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai. Located adjacent to Ibn Battuta Mall and Ibn Battuta metro link, close to Dubai Marina and the site for upcoming Dubai Expo 2020, the new 18-storey hotel offers multiple accommodation options and a spacious terrace with resort-style swimming pool, cabanas, and poolside dining.

Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai is a welcome oasis, whether enjoying some leisure time in the city or passing through on business. The Avani Superior Rooms and Avani Executive Rooms each offer 30sqm of space, with those on the upper floors affording expansive views. The stylish Avani Suites total 46sqm, with a spacious lounge and dining area and a free-standing bathtub in the bathroom.

The hotel offers three dining outlets. Pantry by Avani is a café conveniently located in the hotel’s main atrium lobby, ideal for a coffee or light bite. On the hotel’s third level Flavours Kitchen & Lounge offers all-day dining overlooking the pool and terrace. With an indoor and outdoor dining area, the menu includes a selection of Arabic dishes and international favourites. On the outdoor terrace alongside the pool, Liquid serves a range of refreshing beverages and snacks, perfect to enjoy by the poolside. One of the highlights is the hotel’s impressive swimming pool and terrace which look out over Ibn Battuta and views beyond. Featuring cabanas and day beds, guests can relax by the pool or keep their fitness up with laps. The pool and terrace are the perfect space for hosting social events, able to accommodate up to 200 guests for an alfresco cocktail party or event. Additional facilities include an AvaniFit gym and outdoor yoga deck.

Throughout the property there is natural light in abundance, with the interior inspired by the ancient marine life that used to flourish in the seas that gave way to the UAE. The décor features soft blues, sea foam green, and gentle brown hues with subtle nautilus and coral motifs. This soothing mood continues through each guest room, comfortably outfitted with every amenity, including universal and USB sockets to accommodate travellers from anywhere in the world.
