JUMEIRAH BURJ AL ARAB
Best for old school Dubai glamour
Consistently ranked one of the best places to stay in the world, there are few hotels more iconic than Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. When it opened 25 years ago, the hotel set the standard for hospitality not just in Dubai, but globally, and continues to present a masterclass in luxury for each guest, with colourful, meticulously kept interiors that reflect the city’ s vibrant culture. SAL is a sophisticated alternative to the city’ s beach club scene, floating over the Arabian Gulf on the hotel’ s impressive Terrace, with Mediterranean fare, a collection of luxury air-conditioned cabanas, and experiences including bi-weekly floating immersive breathwork. Michelin-starred restaurant, Al Muntaha, serves a French-meets- Italian menu by Chef Saverio Sbaragli with unrivalled views over Dubai, while the legendary Ristorante L’ Olivo at Al Mahara is set within a tropical aquarium.
