This year, Emirates Palace saw it’s chicest undertaking when it joined forces with Mandarin Oriental to present the newest and most luxe five-star hotel offering. Embracing the perfect mix of history, hospitality and extravagance, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental is sure to fulfill all your dreams of living like royalty.

Thanks to the property’s palatial and sprawling grounds (all 118,403 sq. ft of it, to be exact) visitors can truly indulge in complete peace and privacy. There are a whopping 394 rooms to choose from (book yourself an ocean view suite and thank us later), all kitted out with first-class amenities and functionalities.

Apart from being an architectural marvel, the Abu Dhabi-based palace-turned-hotel houses 10 F&B outlets, from the award-winning Michelin-starred Hakkasan, to a taste of authentic Arabian cuisine at Lebanese Terrace. The all-day dining restaurant, Vendôme, offering pretty much everything you could ever want and more at breakfast, but for a real touch of exclusivity, book yourself a stay that includes access to the EP Club for a breakfast of champagne and lobster benedict.

Adding to the magnificence of the property is the spa. A spa that will undoubtedly live rent-free in my mind for the rest of time. Here you’ll find more breathtaking architecture, and an unrivalled menu with an array of treatments from ridiculously relaxing Hammams to facials, massages and more.

Offering nothing but the best accommodation and award-winning haute cuisine, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental is the go-to choice for those who want to be pampered like a royal.
