The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre opens as the brand’s second resort in the Middle Eastern city. The 341-room hotel, which also features 124 executive residences, includes the No. 5 bar, home to a dramatic 100-foot wine wall that stores 3,000 bottles. Dining selections encompass Blue Rain, the signature Thai fine-dining restaurant; Can Can, a French all-day-dining brasserie; the Center Cut steakhouse; and the Lobby Lounge & Terrace. Each restaurant boasts an expansive outdoor terrace. For recreation, guests can access a health club and spa offering 13 treatment rooms.
A key design light is the 10-story outdoor waterfall cascading down the building directly into the courtyard facing the lobby; eight striking water features are situated throughout the hotel.
