Dusit Thani Dubai

A gigantic glass fork pronged into the desert sand, injecting a flash of beauty on Dubai’s busiest road. Lording in the five-star category, it refreshingly steers clear of the obvious Arabian themes and instead oozes with Thai opulence. High class Asian chic is in abundance, no ping pong show here. Genial staff robed in classic sarongs. Explore the brunch buffet at California Restaurant. Exquisite and vast. A true testament to Dubai’s luxe, culinary reputation. Views on the 36th floor, home to open-air pool are worth the vertigo.
