DUBAI – Sofitel has launched Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai, a luxurious development offering premium amenities, exclusive services, and world-class living in the heart of Dubai.

This development combines the luxurious service of a 5-star hotel with the comfort of home and consists of 70 residences — six exquisite penthouses and 64 luxury residences.

Located in the iconic Downtown Dubai district, just a stone’s throw from Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai provides unparalleled access to world-class restaurants, cultural attractions, and renowned boutiques. 

Residents will experience a unique blend of Middle Eastern culture and modern French aesthetics, seamlessly integrated into every living space.

As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Sofitel brand throughout 2024, this project marks an exciting new chapter for us, bringing our signature French zest and heartfelt service to the real estate market in Dubai,” said Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, Sofitel Legend, MGallery, and Emblems.

“Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai will set a new standard in luxury living, offering an unmatched lifestyle experience in one of the city’s most exclusive areas. 

“With Sofitel’s rich heritage and our ongoing commitment to redefining luxury living, this project perfectly fits the branded residences market. We are thrilled to welcome future residents to this unparalleled living experience in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.” 

The 6 exceptional penthouses and 64 residences offer a variety of premium amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, a café, an immersive cinema room, and a health club with a stunning 15-meter swimming pool.

Additional services such as 24/7 concierge, valet services, and à la carte options inspired by Sofitel’s French zest like personal chefs, childcare, and in-residence housekeeping are available to ensure that residents enjoy an elevated lifestyle.

This new residential development further strengthens Sofitel’s presence in the luxury segment in UAE, targeting the real estate business and diversifying its business lines. 

Jean-Baptiste Recher, Regional Vice President of Development for Accor’s Luxury Brands based in Dubai, commented: “Sofitel brings key aspects to this real estate project, such as brand reputation and luxury service standards like concierge, spa, kids club, screening room, and cafe, among other services that make this project a standout offering in the luxury segment.”

Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai is supported by Accor One Living, an industry-first 360º platform focused on the development, design, and operation of mixed-use projects and branded homeowner communities.

The completion of Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai is expected by Q4 2026. This project is part of Sofitel’s broader strategy to expand its luxury footprint in the region. 

Alongside the new residences, Sofitel’s presence in the UAE includes the recently open Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort in Ras Al Khaimah, Sofitel Dubai the Palm, Sofitel Dubai Downtown, Sofitel Dubai the Obelisk, and Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach.
