History
The Four Points by Sheraton was originally proposed for construction as the Golden Sands Tower. The building was designed as a 43 floor all-residential apartment tower; it began construction in 2004, with a set estimated completion date of 2006. Starwood Hotels & Resorts entered the project after construction had already begun, and the building was subsequently renamed Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road. The building plans were revised to provide for the addition of a Four Points by Sheraton hotel, and the tower was redesigned to contain both hotel and residential units, as well as a helipad. However, plans for the inclusion of residential units were later abandoned. The building was structurally completed in early 2007 and fully completed later that year.
The Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road is one of three hotels operated by the Sheraton Four Points brand in Dubai, the others being the Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Dubai and the Four Points by sheraton Bur Dubai.
