When opened on 1 November 2007, it was known as Emirates Marina Hotel & Residence.[5] The name was changed to The Harbour Hotel & Residence in January 2008.[3] The reason for the change was due to the large quantity of buildings in Dubai Marina that had the word "Marina" in them.[3] To prevent confusion from their customers, and to keep the nautical theme, the words "Emirates Marina" were changed to "The Harbour."[3] The hotel was finally rebranded and renamed Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel & Suites, when it was put under the management of Marriott International on 15 September 2009.[6]
