Top HOSPITALITY AND FOOD SERVICE Companies in United Arab Emirates
Approximately 753 real businesses classified under Accommodation and Food Service Activities in United Arab Emirates, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 753 real businesses operate in the Accommodation and Food Service Activities sector across United Arab Emirates. The hotel's name on the sign and the company that owns the building are usually not the same entity — and neither of those is necessarily the one running day-to-day operations. Hospitality routinely separates the property owner from the brand licensor from the operating manager, across hotels, resorts, restaurants, and catering. Verifying who owns a given hotel means picking which of those three questions you are actually asking.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Tourism and hospitality had a genuinely record-breaking 2025 in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but this sector has reportedly been hit hardest and fastest by the 2026 regional conflict among all UAE industries.
This content pairs any 2025 record-year framing with an explicit note that 2026 has been materially disrupted, rather than implying business-as-usual conditions.
Who uses United Arab Emirates accommodation and food service activities ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
2025-Record-vs-2026-War-Disruption Verification
Dubai welcomed 19.59 million international overnight visitors in full-year 2025 (+5% year-on-year), with hotel occupancy at 80.7% across 154,264 rooms; Abu Dhabi recorded 26.6 million visitors the same year, with hotel revenue up 19.5%. Following the regional conflict that began February 28, 2026, Moody’s reportedly projected Dubai hotel occupancy could fall to as low as 10% in Q2 2026, prompting Dubai to introduce a Dh1.5 billion relief package including suspending hotel and municipal taxes. Counterparties verify current-quarter occupancy and arrival figures directly rather than assume the 2025 record trend continued.
