Vintage Grand Hotel Embarks on a New Journey as It Joins the Marriott Bonvoy Portfolio

Dubai, UAE – February 2026:

A landmark transformation unfolds in Dubai Production City as Vintage Grand Hotel joins the prestigious Marriott portfolio, becoming the area’s only five-star hotel and the first Marriott-branded hotel and executive apartments in the community. This milestone marks a bold new chapter in UAE hospitality, blending international standards of opulence, design innovation, and connectivity in one exceptional destination.

Beginning 18 November 2025, guests can enjoy all the privileges of Marriott Bonvoy® – Marriott’s award-winning global travel and loyalty program, including exclusive rewards, points, and benefits across more than 8,000 hotels worldwide, as well as recognition and privileges in Dubai Production City. The property’s full transformation will come into fruition in Q1 2026 with the debut of the Marriott Hotel and the UAE’s largest Marriott Executive Apartments – a dual-branded destination redefining short and long stays with exceptional space, service, and sophistication.

The reimagined property, comprising two distinctive towers, has been thoughtfully designed to cater to both transient and long-stay guests. The hotel tower will embody the refined comfort and timeless sophistication of Marriott Hotels, while the serviced apartment tower will transition into Marriott Executive Apartments, ideal for long-stay residents and relocation clients seeking a seamless balance of magnificence and convenience.

As the only five-star property in Dubai Production City, it also offers the largest room and apartment inventory in the area, complemented by a diverse range of room categories to suit business travelers, families, and long-term guests alike.

Drawing inspiration from Marriott’s global design ethos, the transformed spaces feature modern interiors, elegant furnishings, and cutting-edge in-room technology, creating a sense of warmth and sophistication throughout. The hotel’s enhanced F&B portfolio introduces multiple new dining venues and bars, each blending stylish design with elevated culinary experiences that celebrate Marriott’s Wonderful Hospitality philosophy. For events and gatherings, guests can enjoy comprehensive facilities, including eight meeting rooms, a grand ballroom, a terrace, and expansive outdoor event spaces, making the property a premier venue for corporate events, weddings, and social celebration. Perfectly positioned, the hotel provides convenient access (5–25 minutes) to major landmarks and business districts including Expo City, JAFZA, Dubai Sports City, DWC Airport, Mall of the Emirates, JBR, Miracle Garden, Global Village, and Dubai Hills Mall. This prime location ensures exceptional convenience for both business and leisure travelers.

“Having been part of the Marriott family for several years, this rebranding feels like a homecoming and I’m thrilled to bring that same culture of care and consistency to this exciting transformation,” said Olwin Desouza, General Manager. It’s an exciting opportunity to bring Marriott’s trusted standards and global recognition to Dubai Production City. This transition is not just about a new name – it’s about redefining the guest experience with a sense of familiarity, connection, and excellence that Marriott is known for worldwide. With Marriott Bonvoy now live, this marks just the beginning of an inspiring journey ahead of our 2026 relaunch.”

Guests, members, and partners are invited to experience this transformation firsthand by joining Marriott Bonvoy® and earning rewards from their very first stay. The property welcomes travelers and the local community to be part of this new era of hospitality excellence, as it prepares for the grand unveiling in Q1 2026.
