"Prime real estate next to the golf club"
The Ritz Carlton is a beach-front luxury hotel situated on the current fringe of Dubai out toward al Ain. There is a lot of building work happening around the luxury hotel, which suggests that this will not be the fringe for very much longer, but this doesn’t impinge on the guests’ peace and quiet.
The facilities
The luxury hotel is decorated in classical style with Arabian touches such as fountains and lattice woodwork. The feeling is of the colonial era: 40 varieties of tea are served in the afternoon, leather sofas dominate in the bar and a cigar room where gentlemen can retire in the evenings and talk about hunting camel. This is the only luxury hotel in Dubai with a separate adult-only pool and also features a Balinese Spa with 10 treatment rooms.
The rooms
With 138 rooms, this luxury hotel is comparatively small and offers an old-style elegance that is rare in Dubai. Rooms are understated and elegant, and all have balconies that overlook the beautiful stretch of private beach.
