IHG is bolstering its presence in Dubai by opening a new hotel in a prime area.
Here’s what you need to know!
138-room voco Dubai The Palm Now Open
The voco Dubai The Palm is located on the Palm Jumeirah’s West Beach and has 138 rooms and suites. Amenities at voco Dubai will include private beach access, a 24-hour fitness center, and meeting spaces.
Rooms range from a 323 square foot twin deluxe room with Palm Jumeirah city views to a more than 600 square foot beachfront king room with a terrace-style balcony.
The hotel features a rooftop pool and Mediterranean lounge bar opening early next month. Another dining option, an all-day restaurant, will open later this month featuring Belgian cuisine.
IHG has a sizable presence in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates’ most populous city, with 2 dozen properties spread across the city and emirate. Other brands in IHG’s portfolio include several InterContinentals, Staybridge Suites, and a Hotel Indigo.
If you aren’t familiar, voco is part of IHG’s premium collection, including HUALUXE Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, and EVEN Hotels. The voco brand emphasizes individualized service and high-quality touches, such as eclectic bars and comfortable rooms.
To celebrate the opening, the hotel has launched a promotion called “A New Playground Is Here,” offering a savings of 30% on all introductory hotel bookings. Additionally, the chain says IHG One Rewards members will receive 25% off on dining at voco The Palm Dubai.
The hotel will participate in the IHG One Rewards loyalty program, meaning guests can earn and redeem points at the property. Rates at the new voco start at 19,000 IHG One Rewards points per night, depending on the season.
You have several ways to earn IHG One Rewards points toward a stay. IHG currently offers 3 credit cards issued by Chase, and you can also transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt Rewards points at a 1:1 ratio to IHG One Rewards.

Final Thoughts
The opening of the voco Dubai The Palm is good news for IHG fans, as it provides another affordable option for travelers headed to Dubai. Award nights are also quite affordable at 19,000 IHG points per night, which is a great deal for one of the priciest cities in the Middle East. And best of all, the hotel is located in the Palm, easily one of Dubai’s most popular tourist destinations!
