Dubai has a new five-star hotel - Mandarin Oriental Jumeira

Dubai is known for its five-star hotels. The newest hotel to make its debut in the emirate is the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai.

Located in the heart of Dubai, the resort is set to bring a new wave of chic design and luxury experiences to the shores of the city.

Designed by international designer Jeffrey Wilkes, the property features 256 rooms and suites, most with private balconies and terraces.

The hotel has six restaurants and bars, including two signature restaurants – Tasca by Portuguese celebrity chef José Avillez and Netsu, a Warayaki-style Japanese steakhouse by Australian-born chef Ross Shonhan.

The hotel includes a 700-square-metre glass-walled ballroom and features a beachfront terrace and has four elegantly appointed meeting spaces and a private Bridal Room. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai focuses on locally inspired experiences.

All nine treatment rooms feature individual changing and bathroom facilities, and some have private terraces overlooking the ocean.

In the Middle East, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it will manage a new resort and branded residences in Muscat, the capital of Oman, which is expected to open in 2021.
