From Unbridled Decadence To Laidback Living

EMIRATES PALACE, ABU DHABI, UA

E All about the bling, this hotel is fit for royalty Dripping with gold and decorated with 1,002 chandeliers, this one-kilometer-long palace screams opulence and shows the way for no-holds-barred decadence. To feel like a true royal during your stay, check into one of the Palace Suites. Swarovski crystal chandeliers light the entrance hall, which leads into a living room dressed in yellow or blue silks and decorated with Daum crystalware. At 73,192 sq ft with views of the hotel’s private beach (and its own private marina), a stay here has been likened to being on a private island. The Spa at Emirates Palace is worth visiting too – at least for the exclusive Emirates Palace Vita Drip, a specially formulated IV blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants to keep you looking and feeling fresh during your holiday.
