The Palace Downtown Dubai
Regal lodgings with with ornate Arabic design



Weaving a contemporary feel with oodles of Middle Eastern themes into its private and public spaces, The Palace Downtown Dubai pairs the comfort of home with the conscientiousness of personal butler service. Arabian design streaks from splendid artefacts give pause for inward reflection, but looking outward views of the Dubai Fountain, Old Town or the Burj Lake give each room a scenic backdrop. Dining takes place in the Argentinian steakhouse, via Arabian high tea, dramatic Arabic-Oriental dishes and laid-back shisha and mezzeh by the pool.
