Set the scene Exclusive, luxurious, and fabulous; a hub for those looking to see and be seen. The Instagram set is in their element here with luxe furnishings, sky-high views, flower-wrapped swings, and glass slides. The backstory Designed by the architects responsible for the striking Burj Khalifa tower, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, this five-star establishment was initially part of the premium luxury Address Hotels group owned by Emaar Hospitality Group. It was sold to an undisclosed buyer in early 2021, just over a year after opening in Downtown Dubai. The rooms Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that each of the 169 rooms celebrate the sensational views. Linens are crisp and the European design aesthetic sophisticated and ultra-luxe. Rooms are incredibly spacious and boast all the comforts expected of a five-star hotel, including smart televisions with free satellite access. The use of marble in the bathroom which has a tub, shower and dual vanities elevate the appeal, and leather chairs speak to the richness and comfort of the space. Food and drink Head to Ce La Vi for fun and frivolity with the city as the backdrop. The Asian fusion establishment’s 1.5kg Tomahawk steak is not for the faint of heart, while those with a lighter appetite should try Chef Howard Ko’s miso cod or black truffle sushi rice risotto dishes. If brunch is more your speed, Ce La Vi doesn’t disappoint in this regard either. Snacks are available poolside and there is a cafe and patisserie in the lobby. Breakfast is a low-key affair with a small spread that includes a dedicated vegan selection. The spa Indulgent in a word across 1,400 sq meters.
