Tribute Portfolio, part of the Marriott Bonvoy collection, has entered the Middle East with the opening of The First Collection at Jumeirah Village Circle, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, in Dubai, UAE. 

This new property offers 491 guest rooms, including 26 boutique suites such as the TFC Horizon Suite, which features a private plunge pool and terrace with city views. 

It includes dining options such as Santè Ria on the 29th and 30th floors, providing South American cuisine, while Village Bistro offers an international buffet, live BBQ, and pizza stations.  

The hotel’s Pool Bar features screens for live sports and events, alongside beverages and live entertainment throughout the year. 

Risen Cafe & Artisanal Bakery, situated in the lobby, serves locally sourced and handcrafted items, including the hotel's signature coffee blend.  

The hotel also has Rayya Wellness Spa, offering a range of treatments and massage therapies, including various facial treatments. 

Additional amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, and a business centre, along with complimentary local shuttles to and from the Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall. 

Besides, guests at the hotel will have access to Soluna Beach Club on the Palm Jumeirah, with sun loungers, cabanas, swimming pools, and private beach access.  

Marriott International Europe, Middle East and Africa Premium & Select Brands vice president Sandra Schulze-Potgieter said: “Launching the first Tribute Portfolio Hotel in the Middle East in this dynamic destination is a landmark moment for this growing brand. 

“The First Collection at Jumeirah Village Circle hotel exemplifies the Tribute Portfolio brand focus on exceptional design and sincere service, offering guests unparalleled experiences that resonate with the vibrant spirit of Dubai.”
