History
The Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai was originally proposed for construction as the Golden Sands Tower,[5] a 43 floor all-residential apartment[1] tower; it began construction in 2004, with estimated completion in 2006.[5] Starwood was contracted to manage the property after construction had already begun, and the building was subsequently renamed Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. The building plans were revised to contain both hotel and residential units,[6] as well as a helipad. However, plans for the residential units were later abandoned. The building was structurally completed in early 2007 and fully completed later that year.
The hotel is one of three operated by the Marriott under the Four Points brand in Dubai, the others being the Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai and the Four Points by Sheraton Production City, Dubai.[3]
