Michael Scully, Managing Director Hospitality for Seven Tides, said: "These five-star developments are multi-use and have been designed for sophisticated lifestyles, whether it's business or leisure. However we will create a fun environment and it is that combination that underpins our unique proposition. They also mark the arrival of a new name in the hospitality sector - Seven Tides which remains committed to its development plans despite the global economic climate."
Scully said that Seven Tides and associated companie was confident in the long-term future of the hospitality industry not only in the UAE, but throughout the region and beyond. "As well as the four developments we are showcasing at ATM Royal Amwaj and Oceana on Palm Jumeirah, Ibn Battuta Gate and Movenpick Deira we are planning future hotel developments in Dubai as well as continuing with our drive to acquire hotels worldwide."
Established in 2004, Seven Tides, which also owns Dukes Hotel in London, has partnered with prestigious international hospitality brands including Anantara, Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts and Campbell Gray Hotels as its growth continues.
Two of the four new developments Seven Tides is opening in late 2009 - early 2010 are on the Palm Jumeirah.

The Royal Amwaj will offer a variety of culinary delights including South American, Thai, seafood and Asian cuisine. The resort will also feature two natural lagoons, a large swimming pool, tennis courts, Asian spa, water sports club as well as business and banquet facilities.
Oceana, meanwhile, will be a beachfront hotel centrally located on Palm Jumeirah's trunk. This private residential community will offer beach access and panoramic views to its in-house guests. "For those who want to escape from it all, Oceana will provide an ideal retreat for its residents, with an impressive array of amenities and services," Scully said.
In terms of a corporate flagship property, Ibn Battuta Gate features an iconic entrance arch which is larger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Located next to Ibn Battuta Mall, the property will be managed by Mövenpick, offering a combination of offices, apartments and a five-star hotel and spa.
