Dubai, United Arab Emirates · Autograph Collection · Core Luxury
One of the first hotels on what was then a deserted stretch of Jumeirah Beach, the Al Habtoor Group's Metropolitan Beach Resort opened in 1989 with 114 beach chalets and helped pull tourism toward today's Dubai Marina. In 2005 the same site became the 442-room, 740-million-dirham Habtoor Grand Beach Resort and Spa, twin towers of 19 and 25 stories that kept the original chalets. Now an Autograph Collection resort at the north end of JBR, it still looks over the Gulf, Dubai Marina, and Palm Jumeirah.

History
The Al Habtoor Grand Resort traces its origins to 1989, when the Al Habtoor Group opened the Metropolitan Beach Resort on what was then a deserted stretch of Jumeirah Beach, one of the first hotels in the area that would become Dubai Marina, beginning with 114 beach chalets and helping spark tourism in the Jumeirah district. Over the following years the property grew, and in 2005 the group opened the greatly expanded, 442-room Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa, a Dh740-million five-star hotel built on the same site while retaining the original chalets, complete with 13 restaurants and a large ballroom.
Rising as twin towers of 19 and 25 stories linked by a shared lobby at the northern end of Jumeirah Beach Residence, the resort was later rebranded as the Al Habtoor Grand Resort and joined Marriott's Autograph Collection. It remains the Al Habtoor Group's flagship beachfront hotel, overlooking the Arabian Gulf, Dubai Marina and the Palm Jumeirah.
