The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai adds a definite touch of class to the fashionable Jumeirah Beach area. Outside it’s a Mediterranean style
resort with terracotta roofs and salmon-coloured walls; inside it blends timeless elegance with subtle hints of exotic Arabian decor.

With just 138 deluxe rooms and suites, it also ranks as one of the city’s most intimate five-star hotels, the 350 multi-lingual staff members all doing what the Ritz-Carlton people do best – pandering to their guests’ every whim. Not that anything has been forgotten in the rooms; fully-stocked honour bars, complimentary fruit baskets, bathrobes
and slippers combining with all the usual amenities to ensure total guest satisfaction. Those fancying a little additional pampering, however, should perhaps take one of the Club rooms, with their stunning sea views, private lounge and six different menu presentations daily.

Of course, every meal here is a celebration, from the afternoon teas in The Lobby Lounge to the Italian specialities in the Splendido and the progressive European cuisine in La Baie. Lunches tend to be more casual affairs enjoyed in the alfresco Gulf Pavilion overlooking the pool. And what a pool it is, comprising three separate sections, water
slides, cascading waterfalls and swim-up bar. The tennis courts, squash courts and Balinese-style spa also reflect Ritz-Carlton’s exemplary standards, with the 1,000-feet of white sand encouraging relaxation or early-morning walks, as the mood suits.
