Hotel Review
The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre, UAE
Although located in the heart of the Financial District, this hotel's facilities - including cafés and restaurants, two pools, a gym and business centre - and proximity to downtown Dubai make it an attractive option for leisure travellers too. The spa offers holistic treatments in addition to wellness rituals like reiki and unusual sessions like a treatment using Chardonnay grapes.

CHARACTER & STYLE
Partly due to its location, public areas such as the lobby, cafés and courtyards are usually lively. We loved the striking contemporary artworks, such as the stainless-steel beaded figures and pufferfish suspended in a case lined with metal beads.
