Hollywood film company “Paramount Pictures” to build hotels and resorts in the UAE

In 2015, the famous American film company Paramount Pictures will build its theme hotels and resorts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The chain will be called Paramount Hotels & Resorts. “We are the official holders of the Paramount license,” said Thomas Van Vliet, Chief Executive Officer of Paramount Hotels & Resorts. “Today, we have already decided in which cities the UAE will develop the Paramount concept - these are Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Currently "we are negotiating with potential developers and we hope that in a few months we will be able to officially announce who will build these hotels."

The Dubai-based Paramount Hotels & Resorts chain, which has a global license to build hotels and resorts under the Paramount brand, plans to do this not only in the UAE, but also in Qatar, Oman, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Indonesia and the UK.

“Depending on the location, hotels will be built using one or another concept. It can be urban themes, casinos, and integrated resorts, which will also create theme parks for the Paramount Pictures film company,” Van Vliet noted. “But since we if we don’t have a license to build theme parks, we will not decide on them. However, I believe that Dubai is a very good place for erecting combined resort projects.

Van Vliet noted that each hotel or resort will have an internal Hollywood theme that will highlight the 100-year-old contribution of the film company to the development of the American film industry. “We are not going to move along the path of the Hard Rock Hotel or Planet Hollywood brand hotels,” Van Vliet emphasized. “What we are going to do in our hotels will be unique and inimitable. Whether it is the hotel lobby, converted into a large video wall, or moving 3D photos of celebrities on display at the hotel’s gigantic viewing cinema halls. We will be able to host various mini-festivals where Paramount Pictures will be shown. That is, there are an infinite number of options and ideas. At any time, hotel guests and moviegoers , it will be granted access to the video library Paramount Pictures ".
