Al Habtoor Group has grown together with the United Arab Emirates. Once a small engineering company in 1970, it has grown into one of the biggest and most recognized businesses in the region with holdings in the hotel, automotive, vehicle leasing, real estate, education, and publishing industries. The vision of the Al Habtoor Group's Chairman, Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, has helped the company build a strong name for itself both domestically and globally.
The Al Habtoor Group's commitment to creating and growing businesses across a variety of industries has caused its brand to be linked with dynamic expansion, just like the name of the UAE has come to stand for international trade and entrepreneurship.
In several locations throughout the world, including London, Vienna, Budapest, Beirut, and Springfield, Illinois, it proudly waves the UAE flag. The hospitality section of the Group, Habtoor Hospitality, is in charge of seven domestic hotels and seven properties abroad. The Al Habtoor City Hotel Collection (Habtoor Palace, LXR Hotels & Resorts, V Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, and Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City) is a group of hotels in Dubai, along with the Metropolitan Hotel Dubai, the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah, the Habtoor Grand Resort, and the Al Habtoor Polo Resort in Dubailand.
