Albergo Hotel

We’ll skip over all the usual caveats and acknowledgements and just assume you know what you’re doing going to Beirut at this current moment in world history. But if you do, the first order of business (aside from possibly checking with your embassy, and giving the international headlines a quick...

Dan Boutique Jerusalem

The boutique hotel concept has taken a little longer to arrive in Jerusalem, but if the Dan Boutique is any indication, the awkward early stages have been more or less entirely bypassed. It helps that it was originally laid out as an apartment house — undersized rooms and hasty construction, whic...

Desert Islands Resort & Spa By Anantara

Five miles off the coast of Abu Dhabi, out there in the waters of the Gulf, there’s a resort that just might change your perception of what’s possible in Emirates tourism. In spite of its name, Desert Islands Resort is just one island, the Sir Bani Yas nature reserve — and to look at the verdant ...

Desert Palm Dubai

Another entry on the more sedate end of the Dubai hotel scene, the Desert Palm lies some twenty miles outside the city center, and trades construction cranes for polo grounds. And if your visit’s purpose allows you to choose the country over the city — well, it’s not much of a choice, to be hones...

Emirates Palace

They don’t make them small in the Emirates these days, that’s for sure. Still, some are taller than others — and while there are plenty of options for high-rise enthusiasts, the smart money is on a sprawling seaside compound with a private beach like the Emirates Palace. UAE's only palace concept...

Four Seasons Hotel Amman

Within a decade of its opening the Four Seasons has managed to become, by many lights, the top luxury hotel in Jordan’s capital city of Amman. In terms of design, it doesn’t get much more conservative than this — it’s about as avant-garde as you’d expect from a Middle Eastern outpost of a Canadia...

Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh

A lot of big business hotels claim to occupy a “privileged” position, or offer a “unique” or even a “commanding” view. In the case of the Four Seasons Riyadh, though, it’s a tough proposition to argue with. It’s a part of the Kingdom Tower, an award-winning, vaguely bottle-opener-shaped 99-story ...

Grosvenor House West Marina Beach By Le Meridien, Dubai

Please note: Due to the development work currently ongoing at the Dubai Marina, which is located near the hotel, there may be some noise disturbance caused around the hotel. Sea view rooms are not affected. It’s named for the classic Grosvenor House in London, but the Dubai versi...

Park Hyatt Dubai

We’d love to tell you about little independently-owned well-kept secret of a place in Dubai. But it’s not that sort of place. So instead we’ll tell you about the sort of thing they do do well there. Now Park Hyatt is no mom-and-pop operation, but for a top-flight luxury chain they do tend to be e...

Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort By Anantara

Until recently the Anantara resorts were pretty much confined to the lush environs of Thailand, the Maldives and Indonesia; their move into the United Arab Emirates comes as something of a surprise. And we’re not even talking about a hotel on stilts off some island in the Gulf — the Anantara Reso...

Residence & Spa At One & Only Royal Mirage

The popular, cynical journalistic image of Dubai — basically a vision of a golden construction crane, building an air-conditioned skyscraper out of stacks of money — actually sells the place short as a travel destination. There are some hotels that strain the limits of good taste, of course, but ...

Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi

A rapidly diversifying economy and constant development are helping Abu Dhabi step out from the shadow of its better-known sister, Dubai. A prime location on the Persian Sea and lots of green space haven’t hurt either. Naturally, travelers of all types are taking note. They won’t be disappointed ...

The Address Hotel, Downtown Burj Dubai

There’s a case to be made that if you want to get to the heart of the new Dubai, this is the place to go. The Address, Downtown Burj Dubai is sandwiched between the sprawling Dubai Mall and the enormous Burj Dubai, which will be for a time the tallest building in the world — and if there’s a city...

The Palace - The Old Town

In Dubai the basic hotel choice is between new and old — or, since everything’s really new, between old-fashioned and new-fangled. At the slightly over-named The Palace – The Old Town you can get a bit of both: the Palace is a classic antique-style hotel compound, in the middle of the Old Town is...

The Ritz-Carlton Bahrain Hotel & Spa

If you’re a cynic you could worry a bit about the quite possibly over-the-top results of a global luxury-hotel brand taking on a project in a Persian Gulf boom town. But the Ritz-Carlton Bahrain, in the capital city of Manama, while not exactly shattering all the stereotypes, goes just e...

W Doha

By now you’re probably prepared to see a W cropping up just about anywhere, but Doha? How, quite frankly, is the high-design luxury chain’s whole nightlife-centric, anything-goes approach supposed to work in buttoned-up Qatar? The answer: pretty well indeed. For foreigners the W Doha provides a f...
