Investment firm Shamal Holding has revealed details of the UAE’s first Baccarat hotel, set to open in Dubai.
The result of close collaboration with Dubai-based real estate investor H&H Development, the 145-key Baccarat Dubai finds home in the city’s Downtown area.
Inspired by the famed Baccarat crystals, architecture by Studio Libeskind sees the property’s elegant towers and shimmering glass façade reflect the heritage of the brand.
Part of a mixed-use development, the hotel will offer a number of amenities alongside its accommodation, with interior design courtesy of 1508 London. Design details inside the Grand Salon include Baccarat crystal chandeliers and the brand’s signature red hues, while the signature Baccarat bar beckons with its mirrored luminosity and swathes of velvet, bordering a grand piano as its centrepiece.
Spanning a street-level promenade and plaza are multiple F&B dining outlets, while wellness spaces include a pool overlooking the Burj Khalifa, and a luxurious spa.
Occupying the floors above the hotel are a number of branded residences, offering two- to four-bedroom furnished apartments alongside four penthouses, including a five-bedroom palatial residence complete with a private gym, pool and wine cellar.
“We are immensely proud to bring the first Baccarat Hotel to the UAE, offering discerning guests an opportunity to experience a brand that has set the global standard in luxury for over 250 years,” says Abdulla Binhabtoor, CEO of Shamal Holding. “Rooted in artistry and unparalleled craftsmanship, the property draws inspiration from Baccarat’s iconic crystal heritage, while the breathtaking setting in Downtown Dubai will complement its regal elegance. This development represents our commitment to offering extraordinary, bespoke experiences, and is perfectly timed to coincide with the global increase in demand for ultra-luxury tourism.”
