Valor Hospitality Middle East has signed an agreement with the owning company Ezz Asass International to manage the Four Points by Sheraton branded property.
This agreement also marks the second collaboration between Valor Hospitality Middle East and Marriott International in Oman.
Scheduled to open in 2024, the 85-room hotel is in the city of Duqm, on the southern coast of Oman.
The hotel is strategically located within the Special Economic Zone of Duqm (SEZAD), within minutes from the SEZAD Headquarters and opposite the Police Training Center. With recent projects announced in Duqm, the hotel will offer a convenient choice for corporate travelers and a slowly growing leisure segment is being drawn by stunning beaches.
The Four Points by Sheraton Duqm is anticipated to reflect the brand’s promise of ‘travel reinvented’, providing everything that matters most to today’s travelers seeking balance on the road.
A timeless style coupled with comfort and genuine service allows guests to kick back and relax.
The hotel will feature guest rooms with abundant daylight, an airy atrium lobby, two dining venues, an indoor pool and gym, meeting rooms, and a private car parking space.
“Since announcing our first property in Oman last year, we are so pleased to grow our presence with a second Four Points by Sheraton, in Duqm this time”, said Julien Bergue, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Valor Hospitality Middle East. “We are fortunate to have a trusted and reliable business owner in Ezz Asass International. We’re naturally excited to partner with Marriott once again. With 300+ keys confirmed in Oman we hope to establish a base here in the coming months” Bergue continued.
Hamad Abdullah al Harthy, Chairman of Ezz Asass International, said, “We are so pleased to bring two trusted names to our hotel project in Duqm. With a globally established and innovative company, Valor Hospitality, and hotel giant Marriott International, a company that requires no further introduction, we are confident that the addition of this property to the hospitality landscape in Duqm will not only offer great options for corporate travelers but also greatly support and contribute to the tourism vision of Oman”.
