The Palace Downtown - Dubai's best kept secrets

The Palace Downtown Dubai is a luxurious 5-star hotel that seamlessly combines traditional Arabic design with state of the art facilities to create a fantastic experience for its guests. The Palace is located on the edge of a lake on the Old Town Island, next to Burj Dubai in the Business Bay district. The hotel is within walking distance of the Dubai Mall and directly connected with Souk Al Bahar, a magnificent shopping and entertainment center. 

One of the most dramatic places to gaze up at the world's tallest building. Words like "old" and "town" don't often come to mind when discussing Dubai, home of the world's tallest skyscraper as well as its only man-made world-map archipelago. Who would have guessed, then, that The Palace Downtown Dubai is one of the Middle East's finest accommodations? 

As it turns out, a number of the region's award-bearing organizations have said exactly that. The hotel boasts 242 rooms, 81 of them suites, all with balconies, high-speed wireless, spacious bathrooms, and more. Design is clean and sophisticated. 

Three top-flight international restaurants are located on-site, serving South American, Arabian, and what might be the best Thai in the city. There's also a shisha bar, cocktail bar, and tea lounge, each intriguingly designed.

The Palace's Jewel, however, is its spa, which offers ancient eastern treatments in an intricate Arabian setting overlooking the Burj Dubai Lake.
