Plans are set to be announced for the first Dubai hotel to be run 100 percent by women.

UAE-based Time Hotels is to run the hotel in the Barsha district of Dubai, with it opening by the end of this year, said CEO Mohamed Awadalla in a video announcement.

No further details were given, with a further announcement to be made at the Arabian Travel Market this year.

Time hotels launched in Dubai in 2012 and operates four brands.

In 2014, the company announced it will manage a new five-star hotel located close to Dubai Healthcare City as the emirate targets growth in the number of medical tourists visiting the city.

Two rooms per floor will be specifically designed to be handicap-accessible; which is a first for the city.
