Millennium Hotels and Resorts Middle East and Africa (MHR MEA) has announced the launch of a new hospitality concept – Millennium Place – to its diversified portfolio of hospitality brands. The modern hotel concept will cater to the new generation of business and leisure travellers.

The first Millennium Place property, Millennium Place Marina, is slated to open in the first half of 2019 in the bustling district of Dubai Marina. The property features 453 guestrooms and suites and offers expansive views of the Dubai Marina and Palm Islands. Its convenient location will also provide guests walking access to the Walk, Dubai Marina Mall, The Beach, and nearby metro stations.

Mr Atef El Eskndarany, newly appointed Director of Sales and Marketing, said, “The Millennium Place Marina will focus on things that make a difference to our guests’ stay. It could be the in-room entertainment, the pillow, our hotel facilities, food, and of course our excellent service. We want our guests to call their room a place of their own when staying at Millennium Place.”

Mr Eskndarany will serve as an integral part of the pre-opening team and will be responsible for leading the sales and marketing efforts for the property. He brings almost two decades of sales and marketing experience in UAE, Oman and Egypt.

Prior to this role, Mr Eskndarany was the Cluster Director of Sales and Marketing for Radisson Blu Dubai Marina and has participated in the pre-opening phase for six hotels of various international hotel brands such as InterContinental Hotel Group, Movenpick and Radisson Hotel Group.
