Cheval Maison – Expo City Dubai
Cheval adds second Dubai site
Cheval Collection has signed a management agreement to add a second property in Dubai under its Cheval Maison flag, with the repurposing of The Leadership Pavilion, one of the showpiece properties in Expo City Dubai.
The prestigious building, which is due to reopen in 2025 after extensive renovation, hosted visiting world leaders during Expo 2020 Dubai and did do so again during the COP28 climate conference in December 2023.
Cheval Maison - Expo City Dubai will be one of the group's largest sites, with a mix of 150 studios, one, two-bedroom units and will feature a rooftop pool and meetings and events spaces as well as a restaurant and bar, brasserie and coffee shop. The property's two existing royal suites will also remain.
A vibrant hub for business, innovation, culture and entertainment, Expo City Dubai is already home to a number of companies, including DP World, Emirates Airline and Siemens Energy.
Located at the heart of Expo City Dubai, adjacent to the iconic Al Wasl Plaza, the property is 53km from Dubai International Airport and 20km from Al Maktoum International Airport. Expo City is also served by a dedicated metro station, connecting the site to locations across Dubai.
Cheval Collection opened Cheval Maison - The Palm Dubai in April this year. The property was the group's first site outside the UK.
Cheval Collection also has plans to open another property in Glasgow, expected in 2026. The company currently operates nine locations in London, three in Edinburgh and one in Dubai.
