Cavern Hotel and Resorts, a joint venture by Nakheel, the real estate arm of Dubai World, and Indian hospitality major Bharat Hotels, has commenced work on its first project, The Grand Fort Dubai, at Al Furjan.

Nakheel and Bharat Hotels will be equal partners in this venture, Nakheel said yesterday in a statement.

The Dubai-based property developer said the design of the five-star hotel has been inspired by the palaces and forts of Rajasthan in India.

The 293-room hotel is scheduled for completion by 2010 and will feature a spa, business and conference facilities, landscaped gardens, restaurants and retail outlets, said Nakheel.

"Dubai World, one of the world's largest holding companies, understands the importance of working with the best partners," said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai World.

The project would be located on a hilltop at the heart of Nakheel's Al Furjan development, which is set in 560 hectares south of the Ibn Battuta Mall and adjacent to Discovery Gardens and The Gardens. Nakheel is one of the top property developers in the region.
