If you’re visiting Dubai, could a hotel be more ideally positioned for brilliantly encapsulating the city’s top attraction? Palace Downtown in, you guessed it, Downtown Dubai, sits directly opposite the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain, offering one of the most spectacular locations available in the city. You can even see the fountains from some of the hotel bedrooms.
A sprawling swimming pool spreads out from the main building towards The Dubai Fountain, with palm trees lining the sides and a cool water that’s just asking for you to come in, take a dip and relax. For pampering, the luxurious Spa at Palace Downtown offers an array of facials, massages, body wraps and scrubs.
And if you’re after views of The Dubai Fountain while you eat, look no further. One of the hotel’s top restaurants, Thiptara, actually sits out into the water, and is a frequently found name on Time Out Dubai’s Best Thai Restaurant and most romantic lists, offering up some exceptional Bangkok-inspired seafood. Steakhouse Asado also features a perfectly framed view of the Burj Khalifa, serving up traditional Argentinian cuisine and drinks.
Buhayra Lounge, meanwhile, presents a range of mezze, music, shisha and drinks by the pool, accompanied by traditional Arabic tents.
As the name suggests, this is a luxurious, five-star resort offering up palatial suites for guests, and a truly top-notch experience.
