Kempinski The Boulevard Dubai, previously known as the Address Boulevard, is a 73-storey 370 m (1,214 ft) hotel in Downtown Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It has 198 five-star hotel rooms and suites. It is on the list of tallest buildings in Dubai and the list of tallest buildings in the world. It has a restaurant, 3 pools, and views of the Burj Khalifa.[4]

The hotel permanently displays 251 specially-commissioned original artworks by 48 internationally renowned artists.[5][6]

The hotel was previously part of the Address Hotels & Resorts, a hotel chain owned by the Emirati real estate company Emaar.

History

[edit]

The project was developed by Emaar Properties in 2012. The serviced residences sold out on the day of the launch of sales in September 2012.[7][8][9]

The hotel opened in 2017.[5]

In 2018, Emaar sold its hotels in Dubai, including Address Boulevard, to Abu Dhabi National Hotels for $598 million.[10]

In 2024, Abu Dhabi National Hotels announced that the Address Boulevard would be rebranded to Kempinski The Boulevard Dubai, thereby ending Emaar's management of the hotel.[11]
