A privileged tourist destination with year-round sunshine and superb beaches, Dubai offers a memorable and colourful stay where hotel boundaries are constantly being pushed back. Here is a selection of some of the most prestigious and refined establishments in the emblematic city of the United Arab Emirates.
Jumeirah Al Qasr
This palace worthy of the Thousand and One Nights is part of Madinat Jumeirah. With its architecture reminiscent of a sheikh’s palace, this Dubai hotel welcomes its guests with a décor featuring a graphic blue and gold motif, crystal chandeliers and typically Arabian rough dark wood furniture. This oriental design is modernised by contemporary and western elements and lines, all in a luminous and highly luxurious atmosphere. The hotel service is impeccable and the sea views from the balconies more than appreciable.
Booking a room gives access to all the resort’s experiences. These are scattered around the resort and can be accessed by buggy or abra, small boats that take travellers from A to B along the vast expanses of water surrounding the Jumeirah Al Qasr. Spa, infinity pool, private beach… So you can make the most of Dubai’s upmarket ambience. This already tempting offer is rounded off by a host of exceptional restaurants, from the Mediterranean table with its feet in the sand facing the Burj Al Arab, to the gourmet Italian restaurant nestling at the end of a pretty pontoon and the Thai restaurant located in front of the hotel’s waterways.
Mandarin Oriental Jumeira
Set along one of Dubai’s few natural beaches, this hotel is instantly recognisable by its long, palm-fringed pool facing the sea and its rooftop pool. Rooms have balconies with sublime views of the city and its buildings.
