A DIFC court has returned the management rights of the Palm Jumeirah property to Viceroy Hotels and Resorts, after a legal battle between the property’s owner, FIVE Holdings and Viceroy Hotels and Resorts.

Viceroy took the matter to the DIFC courts on June 19, after it was announced FIVE Holdings was going to reclaim management of the property. 

Chief Executive Officer of Viceroy Hotel Group, Bill Walshe released a statement on the matter after the ruling was announced: 

“Contrary to the hotel owner’s statements and subsequent media reports, Viceroy has always been, and remains, the legal operator of the Viceroy Palm Jumeirah Dubai.

“The Court’s order requires, among other things, Viceroy’s name, signage and branding to be reinstated at the hotel. Our priority remains to work with our outstanding hotel colleagues to ensure continuity of service and consistent delivery of a guest experience in keeping with the Viceroy ideology.  We will continue to work strenuously with our legal team to ensure we achieve this.”
