Opening soon: Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai

There’s a new hotel opening up on the Palm. The Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai is sited on the West Crescent of the Palm Jumeirah.

The 100,000 square metre property will have 389 rooms and suites. The rooms begin from 65 square metres in size. For those who want to go all out, there are also eight four-bedroom beach villas which have their own Jacuzzi, swimming pool, spa and hammam.

Guests have access to a private 500-metre stretch of a pristine white sand beach, though there is also a sprawling 175 square metre indoor swimming pool on the property. The 80-seat cinema in the hotel will be the largest private cinema on the Palm.

For guests who want to be pampered during their stay, there’s a 3,000 square metre Cinq Mondes spa which includes 24 spacious treatment rooms. For visiting royalty or celebrities who need a little extra privacy, there are two private spa suites as well.

This would be the star chef’s first restaurant in the UAE. Other culinary options on the property include Asian steakhouse Enso, Italian fare at All’onda and the NiDaLa bar and lounge.
