Andaz Dubai The Palm opened earlier in the month, marking the brand’s Dubai debut. The property is the second in the United Arab Emirates, following the opening of Andaz Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi last year.

Andaz Dubai The Palm offers guests access to a private beach and top Dubai attractions, as well as luxury shopping. The hotel, with its 217 guestrooms, 116 residences and 34 suites, is filled with local art and culture. Modern, minimalistic interiors are outfitted with premium amenities. Suites include living and dining areas, terraces, rain showers and soaking tubs.

Five dining and drinking options are located on site. The Locale is an all-day neighborhood eatery with a terrace; Hanami offers Japanese Izakaya-style dining; Knox is an underground, speakeasy-style bar; La Coca is a neighborhood beach club and lounge; and The Andaz Lounge combines cocktails and coffee with a library and artwork.

The on-site spa, Ora, offers a full menu of facial and body treatments. An adults-only pool area and fitness center are also available.

“The bustling Palm Jumeirah island serves as the ideal location for guests to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of Dubai,” said Kifah Bin Hussein, general manager, Andaz Dubai The Palm. “The hotel is created for the inquisitive traveler. Set in a vicinity known for luxury and exclusivity, Andaz Dubai The Palm reflects the city’s eclectic style, showcased through local artist exhibitions and unique culinary offerings.”
