What they say
Forbes Recommended
Forbes Travel Guide
2026
Also in The 50 Discovery.
Much thought has gone into the decor, which fuses Arabian Nights mystique with modern luxury: think floating carpets, light installations and one-off pieces of furniture.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on the Dubai Harbour waterfront, the hotel places yacht docks, private sands, and sweeping Palm Jumeirah views right at your doorstep.
The rooms
All sea-facing rooms open to private balconies, pairing jewel-toned lounges and veiled dressing areas with dhow-shaped headboards and window-side bathtubs.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds surround the split-level infinity pool, and the fitness center is fitted with an indoor sprint track.
The spa
Harbour-facing treatment rooms host custom bodywork, and the salt room is lined with glowing pink Himalayan bricks.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Baba Steakhouse
Marble tables and woven armchairs sit beneath a timber pergola, right beside an illuminated open-air cocktail bar.
At the table
Attiko serves Asian small plates on the 31st-floor rooftop terrace, and Ginger Moon cooks Californian grills beside the pool.
How it began
Inspired by ancient copper traders and Al-Halqa storytellers, the tower translates Arabian folklore and seafaring lore into bold, contemporary spaces.
