1 7 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The Accommodations Nestled in a prestigious residential neighbourhood, yet minutes away from business and commercial hubs, the Resort is situated in a low- rise building across 14 acres of natural beachfront, surrounded by lushly landscaped gardens and pools. The distinctive Spanish- Mediterranean architecture, created by the award-winning firm WATG, is embellished with Arabic accents to set the stylish mood, while inside, fresh and modern interiors open up to sweeping sea or skyline views, with luxuriously detailed appointments. Ultra-spacious, airy and light, the 237 guest rooms (including 49 suites) present the best in relaxed, understated luxury. Subtle Arabic design motifs blend with cool, comfortable style and in-room technology to make you feel immediately at home. Completely family-friendly, the resort has a number of connecting rooms that will afford evenmore space, and offers special amenities tomake little ones feel especially welcome – including gifts, bathrobes, children’s toiletries, and kid-friendly menus in the restaurants and in-room dining. For the ultimate VIP experience, the Four Seasons Resort Dubai boasts a selection of phenomenal speciality suites. From the newly appointed Penthouse Suite, guests can take in exclusive panoramic views over the entire resort from the moment they step through the entrance, although arguably they’re best enjoyed from the large wrap- around sun terrace over a refreshing drink. The suite also boasts a private spa therapy room, a spectacular fitness centre, private dining room and extensive kitchen. The Presidential Suite commands majestic views of the Arabian Gulf, which guests can gaze out upon from the alfresco dining table on a large terrace. Inside, this dazzling suite offers a formal dining room and serving pantry, media room, fitness centre, and a master bedroom with an extra-large dressing room and private balcony. For larger parties, the suite can be reconfigured as a two- or three-bedroom with the addition of connecting rooms. Grand design takes centre stage in the gloriously appointed Royal Suite. Marble floors, towering columns, and Venetian chandeliers create the perfect stage for the baby grand piano and major art pieces in a ballroom-like setting. Private elevator access, four furnished balconies, and wood-panelled study ensure plentiful opportunities for peaceful seclusion, or entertain on a grand scale in the expansive living and dining areas.
