Mallside Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton at Dubai Hills Estate

Royal Development Holding, a boutique premium real estate developer and subsidiary of Emirates Stallions Group, has announced that Mallside Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, is set to open and welcome guests in the first quarter of 2027. The project is now in its final stages of development.

Located within Dubai Hills Estate and directly connected to Dubai Hills Mall via pedestrians skybridge, the hotel will place guests at the heart of one of Dubai's leading lifestyle, retail and entertainment destinations. Beyond the mall, its location offers seamless access to the wider community, creating a convenient base for both business and leisure travellers.

Tariq Nazzal, Chief Executive Officer of Royal Development Holding, said, “Mallside Hotel represents an important step in the evolution of Royal Development Holding’s hospitality portfolio and reflects our broader strategy to build a diversified platform of high-quality assets in markets with strong long-term fundamentals. Dubai continues to strengthen its position as a global hub for tourism, business and investment, creating sustained opportunities across hospitality and branded residences. Our focus is on translating that opportunity into long-term value through distinctive developments, strategic locations and partnerships with leading international brands. Our collaboration with Hilton is a strong example of this approach, combining global hospitality expertise with our development capabilities and understanding of the market. Mallside Hotel reinforces the direction we are taking as we continue to grow our hospitality presence in the UAE.”

Mallside Hotel has been conceived as an integrated hospitality and residential destination that complements the continued evolution of Dubai Hills Estate.

Nagy Nagaty, General Manager of Mallside Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, said, “The character of a hotel is ultimately shaped by how it makes people feel. At Mallside Hotel, our focus will be on creating an experience that feels personal, intuitive and connected to its surroundings, supported by the consistency and standards expected of Curio Collection by Hilton. As we prepare to open, a key priority is building a team culture that combines strong operational standards with the flexibility, initiative, and individual approach needed to deliver genuinely personalised service.”

Further details on the hotel’s guest offering, including its dining concepts and amenities, will be announced as Mallside Hotel moves closer to its opening in Q1 2027.
