Comment

In the 70s and 80s the UAE had very little international chains; initially it started with some of the local hotels running their own very small hotels (the first of which was the Airlines Hotel in Dubai in 1959). The first international hotel chain to open in Dubai was InterContinental in 1975 – on the creek, followed by Sheraton (1978) and Hilton.
