Raffles Dubai
Breathtaking design and commodious rooms



Adjoining the Wafi Mall and just a ten-minutes' drive from the airport, the pyramidal Raffles Dubai takes design influence (if the shape wasn’t clue enough) from ancient Egypt. Boasting some of the largest rooms in the city, all to the impeccable Raffles standard, expect chic furnishings and a sophisticated decor palette, peppered with subtle mashrabiya panelling and ancient Egyptian accoutrements. Paired to indulgent culinary and spa options – the three-floor glass-walled peak of the pyramid is home to Japanese restaurant TOMO, and People by Crystal nightclub – it makes for a sophisticated, unique stay in the city.
