The Waldorf Astoria sits proudly on Dubai’s artificial Palm Jumeirah and looks out towards the iconic Burj al Arab in the distance. Guest can even spot the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, all the way in Downtown Dubai on a clear day. All of the hotel’s rooms have a balcony, the vast majority of them with a sea view. The poolside Palm Avenue restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a relaxed setting while Peacock Alley specializes in afternoon tea. Social by Heinz Beck is a must for anyone with a penchant for fine dining. With a menu curated by the three-Michelin-starred chef, it serves an unforgettable five-course tasting menu celebrating Italian cuisine.
Top Suite: Royal Penthouse Suite
Occupying the entire top floor of the hotel, the 16,867-square-foot Royal Penthouse Suite is fit for royalty. A private elevator takes you directly to the suite, which has double-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows and is outfitted in Italian marble and rich wood. The lavish space has a staggeringly large 3,702-square-foot living room, but if that’s not enough, the 20-person majlis should suit your entertaining needs.
Right off the living room is the terrace, with views of the Dubai skyline, including the iconic Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab. Should you prefer a more intimate setting, head to the master bedroom, which connects to a 1,001-square-foot terrace and a white Italian-marble bathroom.
