DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 14, 2015 — Modern, cosmopolitan, smart and cultural, the essence of Dubai’s identity finds expression in a new mid-market lifestyle hotel brand, Rove Hotels, developed by Emaar Hospitality Group.

The partnership of global property developer Emaar Properties and Meraas Holding, a Dubai-based leading development company, Rove Hotels celebrate the heartbeat of the city with its unique approach to delivering value hospitality experiences for the young and young at heart global traveller.
