All the 169 rooms and suites of the hotel are gorgeously appointed in dramatic elegant tones. Even the Premier rooms here are a knockout with floor-to-ceiling windows to show off the views. Incredibly lush beds with lavish fittings and spacious interiors decorated in luscious cream and dark wood hues make for one of the highest quality regular rooms in the city. 

Even the bed is worth lingering in, and, when you are so centrally-situated, you can afford the extra 30 minutes. The Restaurant is perhaps one of the most graceful breakfast spots in town, conveying international Epicureanism gorgeously across spaces from the living room to the library overlooking as does the beautifully manicured patio and the veranda.

Amid the surfeit of other dining options, the top of the range and most striking experience is probably Celavi, which offers breath-taking views of the Burj Khalifa, serving a spirited interpretation of present-day Asian cuisine. 

If you are after a beautiful vista, take your pre-dinner drink on the pool lounge in one of the breezy, cabanas. And if you have time for a post dinner or early evening coffee, head down to lounge on the second floor, where they make a mean and strong blend with Arabica.
