First Group Hospitality expands UAE portfolio with landmark property
Dubai’s Grand Millennium Business Bay has been rebranded under The First Group Hospitality, introducing a fresh new look alongside upgraded technology and enhanced guest experiences.
This marks the latest addition to the Dubai-based group’s expanding portfolio, which now includes seven hotels across the UAE.
The property originally opened in 2018 and underwent its first rebrand in early 2024 when it joined Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio as Renaissance Business Bay Hotel.
Its prime location along the Dubai Water Canal, close to Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Mall, remains a key selling point.
The hotel offers 260 contemporary rooms and 43 spacious suites, many with views of the city skyline and canal.
Each room is designed with families and business travellers in mind, featuring complimentary Wi-Fi and smart TVs with streaming services.
