SH Hotels & Resorts has revealed plans to launch the Baccarat hospitality brand in Dubai in 2026. Located in the heart of the UAE metropolis’ downtown district, the Baccarat Hotels & Residences Dubai will span a pair of tapering Studio Libeskind-designed towers distinguished by glimmering glass facades reflective of desert sand, sea, and sun.
In addition to 144 guestrooms and suites and 49 branded residences, the property, which will feature interiors by London-based design studio 1508, will boast a robust F&B lineup that will include a formal indoor-outdoor dining room, a casual poolside bar, and a grand salon with all-day service.
“We are thrilled to be partners in the development of this extraordinary hotel and residences in one of the top travel destinations in the world,” says SH Hotels chairman Barry Sternlicht. “The Baccarat brand celebrates the quality of light and where is the sun more spectacular than in the Middle East. Our artisans will work to create a spectacular property to take its place among the most revered in the world. We are excited for this project’s gleaming future.”
“Our debut in Dubai marks an exciting new stage in the evolution of the Baccarat brand,” adds SH CEO Raul Leal. “We are creating a new identity in an already remarkable region, and we are sure the hotel will become the singular, unforgettable, luxurious experience in Dubai.”
