DUBAI, UAE / CAIRO, EGYPT - Emaar Hospitality Group, the hospitality and leisure subsidiary of Emaar Properties, is welcoming yachting and marina enthusiasts to its upcoming hotel project in Marassi, the master-planned lifestyle and tourism destination by Emaar Misr set by the scenic Sidi Abdel Rahman Bay.

Elegantly designed, Vida Marassi Marina will have 120 hotel rooms and suites offering marina views, and access to a range of lifestyle amenities including yacht club, berthing and others. An array of amenities including restaurants, meeting facilities, outdoor pools and decks, add to the lifestyle choice of guests.

This new project upholds the brand values of Vida, and will be a catalyst for leisure tourism to Marassi and Egypt with its direct access to the yacht club and berthing facilities. With marina enthusiasts seeking newer and innovative experiences, the new upscale lifestyle hotel project is uniquely positioned to offer them an elegant destination of choice.”
Vida Marassi Marina celebrates the differentiating brand philosophy of Vida Hotels and Resorts, the upscale lifestyle hotel brand. Targeting the new generation of business executives, entrepreneurs and leisure travellers, the hotel is positioned as a lively and vibrant hub where inspiring minds can create, connect and come alive. Typical of the brand, with Vida meaning ‘life’ in Spanish, Vida Marassi Marina too embraces warmth, simplicity and creativity in a design-inspired space.
Celebrating a striking contemporary architecture, Vida Marassi Marina will have a fashion-forward interior concept with vast open spaces that exude natural light. A neutral colour palette is followed to create a fresh feel for the interiors while state-of-the-art technology ensures seamless connectivity.
