Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai's design aims to evoke the great European palaces of the past. It will have a grand atrium flanked by marble columns and crystal chandeliers. Inspired by imperial celebrations of the 18th century, the ballroom – with walls edged in hand-painted gold leaf - comes complete with a foyer, outdoor terrace and dual views across the Arabian Gulf and Palm Lagoon.

Offering eight room categories in total, the hotel offers 389 guest rooms and suites. For those looking for total privacy, eight four-bedroom beachside villas come with a secluded private pool, Jacuzzi, spa and hammam.

Eight restaurants and bars at the Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai will be Mix, the first UAE restaurant by three Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse. China Grill Management will bring New York’s chic Italian restaurant concept All’onda to Dubai, while the Dogus Group’s Il Riccio will serve seafood focusing on recipes from Campania.
