Inspired by the grandiose European palaces of yore, the brand new Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai is a stunning monument perched on Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah. It overlooks the cobalt blue waters of the Arabian Gulf and is flanked by a seemingly endless stretch of pristine sand in its private beach.
Le Jardin Terrace
As with most things in the Emirates, more is most certainly more. The Emerald Palace encompasses this ethos in each of its 391 rooms, suites, and villas, but guests don’t have to look any further than the hotel’s extravagant lobby for proof. Damask silk tapestries that spiral from thick marble columns dominate the central atrium, as does the looming chandelier made of 40,000 crystals.
The Deluxe Room with a view of Dubai’s skyline
Expect to be treated nothing less than royalty at the Emerald Palace. Rooms are decked out in regal finery, with decadent lounge rooms, polished marble bathrooms and exquisite balconies. If added privacy is what you’re after, the property also offers ten separate villas, each spread out across the Emerald Palace’s private gardens and beach and equipped with their own private rooftop pools and spa rooms.
The Mezzanine Suite
Guests also have access to premium, around the clock butler services, each of whom are expertly trained to cater to your every whim. But if getting pampering at a spa is what you’re after, the 3,000 square meter Cinq Mondes Spa has a sprawling menu of treatments and services that will soothe every kink and nerve.

The Emerald Palace is the sheer embodiment of majestic luxury, designed for the most discerning of guests. Details right down to the accents on 24-carat gold motifs are painstakingly taken care of – a testament to the Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai’s commitment to getting everything, right down to the smallest detail, perfect. www.kempinski.com◼
