A grand neoclassical façade hides haute-couture interiors with rooms dressed in Versace’s bespoke furnishings and pastel-hued silks.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the quiet Jaddaf Waterfront, traditional dhow boats cruise past on Dubai Creek, just minutes from downtown Dubai.
The rooms
Polished timber floors and bespoke marble-topped furnishings pair with pastel silks patterned in falcons, Arabian horses, and peacock motifs.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three mosaic-tiled lagoon pools curve through palm gardens and private daybed cabanas along the waterfront.
The spa and gym
Blue-lit plunge pools and a Moroccan hammam sit within marble thermal suites, beside a Technogym fitness room.
Restaurant
Giardino
Walls dressed in the signature tropical jungle print surround terrazzo floors and long marble buffet counters.
Bathrooms have elaborate Roman-inspired tile mosaics on the walls and inlays in the Carrara marble floors.
At the table
Colonnaded outdoor terraces overlook the creek, and evening drinks arrive beside an intimate live jazz stage.
How it began
Twelve years in the making, the neoclassical palace features a lobby floor containing 1.5 million hand-laid mosaic tiles.
“Perched on the shoreline of the Dubai Creek, with clear views of the water and the city’s skyline beyond, the grandeur continues inside...”
