Four Seasons Hotel, DIFC

A boutique-style hotel set within the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre. Previously an apartment block, the unassuming entrance to this eight-story tower could go unnoticed in DIFC but for the scarlet carpet leading to the marble-clad lobby which is far smaller than the region’s standard five-star hotel receptions. This Four Seasons has crowd-pulling restaurants and bars with dazzling Dubai skyline views, a world-class spa and a glass-sided rooftop pool.
