Shangri-La, Dubai

Housed in a 43-floor iconic skyscraper on the famous Sheikh Zayed Road, the Shangri-La Dubai is a modern oasis in the heart of the city that provides the most outstanding view of the world’s tallest building and the centre of Dubai.

While I was still speechless by the glorious tower and its size, the friendly stuff opened the door of my car and with the word “marhabaan” I was already excited for my Dubai vacations.

The elegant lobby decorated with beautiful fresh flowers with an exotic aroma is the perfect place to have an arabic coffee with some local delicatessen.

The modern room with warm colours and wooden furniture makes you feel like home. You do not believe in your eyes as soon as you open the curtains and see the panoramic view of the city and the burj Khalifa.

The hotel also offers an Horizon Premier stay that you can enjoy more facilities, including access to the Horizon Club Lounge with complimentary all day refreshments, the private health club and indoor infinity pool with an amazing view.

A second swimming pool on the fourth floor with also a view of the burj Khalifa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun while you are having a delicious cocktail from the bar.

A stone’s throw away from Shangri-La is the centre of now with Dubai’s mall, the dancing fountain and the burj Khalifa.

After a long day in the city, the hotel’s spa with signature treatments and a peaceful environment is all you need to calm.

The hotel offers a variety of cuisines in its popular award winning restaurants. You can choose Indian, Vietnamese, Italian or Chinese. After dinner you can visit the world’s highest theatre club “The Act” at the hotel’s 43rd floor.

Falling asleep at night, with one of the most exquisite view of the city right from your bed, is one in a lifetime experience that everyone must have when in Dubai. Shangri-La hotel is the absolute place to make that experience truly unforgettable.
