Tucked inside Dubai’s business district, The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre is a model of refinement. The crisp, contemporary design combines elegance and intrigue with a 10-story cascading waterfall, bubbling fountains and art deco design expertly accentuated with Arabic elements.

The luxury hotel’s 341 rooms and suites have a similarly tasteful vibe with sophisticated furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows that afford fantastic views of the city.

Along with seven restaurants and lounges serving international cuisines, two swimming pools and a luxurious spa and salon, this Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel offers a memorable stay, whether you’re visiting for business or leisure.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The property has a great location within the Dubai International Financial Centre. It’s attached to Gate Village, an area teeming with art galleries, restaurants and bars, and its proximity to downtown and the Dubai Mall means that the city’s best shopping, dining and nightlife are just a 10-minute drive away.
Have a rejuvenating session at The Ritz-Carlton Spa; massages, facial and body treatments restore equilibrium using techniques from as far as Bali, Mexico and India, along with Arabian-inspired ingredients. Try the Sensory Journey, which incorporates argan, rose and almond flowers, or The Desert Reviver, which includes a full-body sand exfoliation, a hot-stone massage and an application of a cooling balm.
Tiny travelers are guaranteed to have a great time thanks to the Ritz Kids program. It provides children with pint-sized amenities, including a coloring book, a welcome card and gifts, along with a dedicated menu at all of the property’s restaurants. You can even request to have a mini in-room kids tent set up for your little ones to sleep in.
With excellent in-house dining options, food is a strong point at this Dubai hotel. Get an authentic Belgian meal at Café Belge, French cuisine at an outpost of the famed Le Cirque or a succulent steak at Center Cut.
