Taj Dubai

What the classifiers highlight

Every one of the 296 rooms frames either the Burj Khalifa or Downtown Dubai through floor-to-ceiling glass, five minutes on foot from Dubai Mall. Bombay Brasserie, the signature restaurant, pairs traditional and modern Indian cooking with a show kitchen and a botanical bar. Upstairs, the Treehouse rooftop lounge serves herb-infused cocktails and shisha under Renaissance-style décor.
