Vida Dubai Marina & Yacht Club — a glimpse inside the new hotel

Residents and visitors alike are aware that Dubai Marina is a hive of activity, and a new hotel is opening in the area.

The Vida Dubai Marina & Yacht Club will begin accepting guests on Monday, December 12, and we have scouted the location prior to its launch.

Depending on choice, guests may select between awe-inspiring views of Dubai Marina or the city, and if you require room, the suites will be just up your alley. Rooms start from Dhs519 per night and feature contemporary, neutral decor. Consider pristine white bedding, light wood furniture, and hints of beige and gray.

Can't stand being apart from your pet? The pet-friendly and family-friendly Vida Dubai Marina & Yacht Club also has a children's club.

Enjoy relaxing and tanning? You will want to travel to the rooftop pool above Vida Dubai Marina & Yacht Club.

With the hotel's direct connection to the Dubai Water promenade, guests can easily stroll down to the marina for a morning workout or an afternoon stroll.

As a great additional amenity, the hotel provides a number of bicycles for guests to use if they desire to explore the Marina on two wheels.

Curious about the eateries within? Adjacent to the swimming pool is the Pool Bar, which serves a variety of salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and light nibbles, as well as late breakfast for those who like to wake later in the day.

The hotel's main restaurant is named Origins and provides world cuisine 24 hours a day.

And if you're in the mood for light fare, the lobby café Stage 2 is the place to go.
