The much-awaited Mandarin Oriental opened its doors in the most exclusive Jumeirah area with 256 spacious and elegant guest rooms, suites with a view of the most picturesque ocean. It is one of the rare properties situated on the beach with its very own private beach. It was developed by wasl Asset Management Group, one of the largest real estate development and management companies in Dubai. Designed by acclaimed international designer Jeffrey Wilkes, the property features spacious and elegant guest rooms and suites, most with private balconies and terraces, offering pristine ocean views or the dynamic city skyline. In terms of the food and beverage the property offers six unrivalled restaurants and bars, all of which are noteworthy additions to Dubai’s dining scene. The two signature restaurants are Tasca by Portuguese celebrity chef José Avillez and Netsu, a Warayaki-style Japanese steakhouse by Australian-born chef Ross Shonhan.
As the closest beachfront resort to Dubai’s financial and business districts, the hotel boasts exceptional meeting and event facilities, providing a wonderful setting for weddings and so-cial celebrations. A 700-square-metre glass-walled ballroom features a beachfront terrace and is complemented by four elegantly appointed meeting spaces and an expansive private Bridal Room.
