Caesars Palace Dubai
A non-gambling sister property to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Caesars Palace Dubai brings the glamour of Las Vegas and a touch of ancient Rome to the shores of the UAE, boasting 12 bars and restaurants, five outdoor pools, a cutting-edge spa and two trendy beach clubs.
Situated on the manmade Bluewaters island beneath the world’s tallest observation wheel and fronted by 500 metres of pristine, private beach, the location is certainly fit for an emperor. Other nods to ancient Rome include the colourful fresco of Apollo and his muses on the ceiling in reception, and various Romanesque touches in the chic and stylish rooms, including Roman-coin artworks and cushions decorated with Roman urns and vases. The rest, however, is ultra contemporary, with rooms and suites benefiting from floor-to-ceiling windows, Arabian Gulf views, balconies or terraces, media hubs for connecting devices and tablets for ordering room service.
Of the 12 eateries, Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen is the star of the show, with its open kitchen and “Yes Chef” theatre-like vibe. Demon Duck by Alvin Leung is another standout establishment, ideal for those hankering for a taste of Asia. The poolside bar Neptune is the go-to for cocktails, or for late-night Latin beats, make haste to Havana Social Club.
The award-winning Qua Spa has come straight out of Vegas and is the only spa in Dubai to offer infrared treatments beneath an Iyashi Dome, said to burn up to 600 calories per session. Throw in the pools, beach clubs and a range of nightly entertainment and even the most skeptical will soon be hailing Caesar.
