Editorial Review

A giant open glass lipstick case decorating the face of Dubai Creek. Plonked in the middle of the business and shopping district. Ideal for holiday hedonism. Superb restaurants include the homely Bistro Madeline. Pricey seafood buffet at Anise, not just the freshest fish in town but the most art deco of lighting accessories. Quintessential bars such as Belgian Beer Cafe and access to a melange of international shops just five minutes by foot make it perfect for non sun worshippers. Service is exemplary. Designs modern. Furniture supersized with classic yet minimalistic twists. Rooms are sizeable and bright, but positioning of A/C means faces are lifted by the strong gusts of frozen air hitting the beds.
