Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road Dubai, Hotel tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road Dubai is a 43-floor hotel tower on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, built of steel and glass to a structural height of 166 m (545 ft). It was originally planned as the Golden Sands Tower, an all-residential apartment block, and was renamed after Starwood took over management during construction. The building was structurally completed in early 2007 and fully finished later that year.
The building started in 2004 as a planned residential project called Golden Sands Tower before being converted into a hotel during construction. It opened in 2007, during a period of rapid growth along this stretch of road.
The hotel is one of three Four Points properties Marriott International runs in Dubai, alongside the Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai and the Four Points by Sheraton Production City. Its name comes from the brand, while the building's earlier identity, Golden Sands Tower, survives in the story of its conversion from apartments to hotel rooms.
The tower is within walking distance of metro stations on the Red Line, which makes it straightforward to reach from most parts of the city. Traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road can be heavy, especially in the morning and evening, so arriving by metro can save time.
This property is one of three Four Points hotels that Marriott International operates in Dubai, which makes it one of the most concentrated single-brand presences in the city for this category. All three are located along or near Sheikh Zayed Road, making it easy to spot how the brand has grown in one specific corridor.
