Nshamas flagship Town Square to feature new generation Vida hotel and serviced residences

Nshama, a private developer of integrated lifestyle communities offering distinct value propositions for aspiring home-owners, has joined hands with Vida Hotels and Resorts, the new generation hotel brand of Emaar Hospitality Group, to operate a lifestyle boutique Vida hotel and serviced residences in Town Square, Nshamas flagship development that spans an area of 750 acres.

The agreement was signed by Fred Durie, Chief Executive Officer of Nshama, and Philippe Zuber, Chief Operating Officer of Emaar Hospitality Group.

Embracing warmth, simplicity and youthful vitality, Vida Town Square Dubai will serve as a smart urban hub where inspiring minds stay, play and connect. With 180 hotel rooms and serviced residences, it will be defined by its location overlooking the central park, the size of 16 football fields, and in easy access to a world-class retail precinct spread over 2.5 million sq ft with over 600 retail outlets as well as a dedicated Reel Cinemas Cineplex, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, cycling tracks and green walkways.

Fred Durie said: Vida Hotels and Resorts shares the same values as Nshama in providing an unmatched lifestyle choice that meets the requirements of the new generation of tech-savvy youth and entrepreneurs. As the first hospitality project in Town Square, our suburban downtown residential destination where aspiring home-owners can live life at their price, Vida will bring youthfulness, vitality and positive energy that complement the aspirations of our residents. Through the partnership, we are focused on creating a dynamic town square that celebrates life and offers value across all touch points.

Philippe Zuber added: In a short span of time, Vida Hotels and Resorts has differentiated its credentials in the hospitality sector by creating a new niche that challenges all industry norms. Bringing inspiring simplicity and intuitive style, Vida is approachable, fun and unpretentious traits that the new generation values. Vida Town Square Dubai will serve as a lively hub where refreshingly new experiences are created. It also underlines the expansion of the brand, building its credentials as the go-to hospitality offering for the young and trendy.

Vida Town Square Dubai will be elegantly designed with stunning contemporary architecture and fashion-forward interior concepts. It will draw on the breathtaking greenery of Town Square by providing vast open spaces that exude natural light, lending vitality and vigour. An array of innovative and value-added services await guests at the hotel including smart technologies that enable them to access all amenities at the tap of a finger through iPads and smartphones.

Going beyond traditional hospitality, Vida Town Square Dubai will offer a remarkable breadth of food and beverage choices including speciality restaurants, business centres for seamless work and play, chic events venues and highly personalised but unobtrusive service. More details on the design and amenities will be revealed in due course. Among planned amenities Vida Town Square Dubai include a swimming pool, modern fitness facilities and a dedicated spa.

Launched recently, Town Square is centrally located in New Dubai near Al Barsha, in easy proximity to popular malls as well as the Al Maktoum International Airport, which is less than 20 minutes away. A smart, sustainable and connected community, it focuses on promoting an active outdoor lifestyle.

In all, Town Square, an integrated development, will feature over 3,000 townhouses and 18,000 apartments in addition to substantial retail, hospitality and commercial space. The masterplan also envisages a central and vibrant hub with shopping and dining districts, plazas, greenbelts, mosques, educational institutions, healthcare centres, entertainment and outdoor sports facilities.

Vida, meaning life in Spanish, embraces warmth, simplicity and youthful vitality. The hotels create a stimulating environment for the younger generation who demands all the frills of modern luxury travel but none of the fuss.

Vida Hotels and Resorts has two properties in its portfolio Vida Downtown Dubai offering 156 rooms and the last word in understated cool, and Manzil Downtown Dubai, an upscale lifestyle boutique hotel that celebrates the warmth of Arabian hospitality in a culturally stimulating, tech-savvy setting. Vida Hotels and Resorts also manages the Vida Residence, The Hills, and Vida Residence, Downtown Dubai.
