The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm

What the classifiers highlight

The hotel occupies the first 18 floors of the 52-storey Palm Tower, its lobby staircase wrapped in gold around a crystal chandelier shaped like a palm tree. Aura Skypool, on floor 50, claims the title of the world's highest panoramic infinity pool, overlooking Palm Jumeirah. Rooftop dining runs from an Indian tasting menu to Italian classics.
