We’re big fans of Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah’s largest suite. Entitled the Royal Suite, it provides guests with a luxurious and private setting within a sprawling 1567 square meter space, including balconies and indoor areas.Located in the heart of the hotel, the suite with panoramic sea views of the Dubai skyline and iconic Palm Jumeirah and one’s stay starts off with an arrival in a classic chauffeured Bentley or landing their private helicopter on the seaside helipad.
Upon arrival guests are greeted by the Personal Concierge, a key attribute of Waldorf Astoria service, and then escorted to the private lift, located in the exclusive VIP arrival area adjacent to the lobby. Stepping out into a luxurious foyer, guests can pause to enjoy views over the Arabian Gulf from the foyer balcony and prepare to experience the grandiose volume of the suite.
Beginning in the opulent dining room, guests can gaze up at the breath-taking panoramic sea views of Dubai from the spacious balcony, while elegant private dinner parties can be hosted there with the assistance of the hotel’s staff and chefs that personally present each dish and describe the process of each creation. There is also the ‘Majilis’ lounge provides an ideal setting to enjoy a traditional Arabian experience including shisha and coffee.
Set out in a neutral palette of warm woods, crème and gold, the suite is complemented by crisp Italian marble and glittering chandeliers. Guests can experience the true expanse of the Royal Suite in the spacious living room with raised seating areas as well as enjoy the delicate sound of tickled ivories on the baby grand piano.
The two private en-suite bedrooms each possess a large balcony overlooking magnificent sea views, a luxuriously fitted bathroom and a king sized bed, providing the perfect place to rest before further exploring the resort’s amenities  or the vibrant city at large.
With six world-class restaurants and bars, two temperature controlled pools, a rejuvenating Waldorf Astoria Spa and a private beach with calm waters, the tranquil resort provides guests with an elegant escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and provides an experience of complete serenity.
The Royal Suite can also accommodate corporate events, receptions, product launches and cocktail parties for up to 50 people. For more information about Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah and the Royal Suite, click call +971 4 818 2222 or visit waldorfastoria.com or news.waldorfastoria.com.
