WHAT WE LOVE...

Opening in 2015 in Business Bay near Downtown, with 35 floors overlooking the towering Burj Khalifa, this opulent hotel has many examples of Indian artworks - plus numerous examples of Arabian culture - spread over the hotel. There's also a British-style gastropub, Asian street food restaurant and other eateries including the brilliant Bombay Brasserie around the building. Public areas are spacious, including a large, double-height lobby. The hotel's 296 comfortable neutrally decorated guest rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows have plenty of mod cons and luxuries, and there's a lovely rooftop pool with sun beds on the decking, a 24-hour fitness centre and swish spa.

Bombay Brasserie is outstanding, and not just the food. The inventive cocktails may appear in a haze of steam or with a similar theatrical presentation. Our favourite dishes are the baked avocado in a spiced marinade starter and a main with the tenderest lamb coated in masala sauce.
