In a city already famed for setting benchmarks, Dubai has once again claimed a first in the world of sports and tourism.

Emirates Sports Group has officially launched the Emirates Sports Hotel and Apartments, located in the heart of Dubai Sports City. This groundbreaking establishment, designed with athletes and sports enthusiasts in mind, combines luxury accommodation with state-of-the-art fitness, recovery, and nutrition facilities.

The Emirates Sports Hotel promises to revolutionise sports tourism, offering features like in-room fitness equipment, a dedicated sports spa, and a nutrition-focused restaurant developed in collaboration with sports physicians. Guests can also enjoy training sessions led by professional coaches, positioning the hotel as a hub for international sports teams and events.

Teams such as the USA Cricket National Team and the Australia national rugby sevens team have already called the hotel home during their preparations. The facility boasts access to nearby world-class venues, including the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and Olympic-grade swimming pools, making it a one-stop destination for high-performance athletes.
