UK-based luxury hospitality firm Cheval Collection aims to double its global portfolio from 16 projects, with the Middle East as a key growth driver. It operates serviced apartments and branded residences, with properties in Dubai and expansion into Saudi Arabia.

Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) is bringing back staff to its Dubai hotels as business levels strengthen. Taj Dubai has maintained occupancy in the high-70% range over the past two months, while Taj Exotica grew from 36% in June to 50% in July and is forecast to exceed 60% in August. However, other operators like Gates Hospitality remain cautious, extending unpaid leave and expecting no Q4 recovery.
In H1 2026, the UAE hotel sector suffered a sharp downturn due to the US-Iran war, with national occupancy down nearly 28 percentage points and RevPAR down 31.8% year-on-year. However, the impact was uneven: Dubai, reliant on long-haul international and transit traffic, saw occupancy fall 24.6 points to 56.4% and RevPAR drop 35.2%, while Abu Dhabi, supported by domestic demand and events, saw occupancy decline only 13.5 points to 66.8% and RevPAR down 20.3%. Analysts expect slow recovery, not before early 2027, with inbound arrivals forecast to fall 48%.
