French jewellery brand Baccarat set to open crystal hotel in Dubai
The two-towered Baccarat Hotel Dubai will be home to 145 rooms, opulent interiors, and world-class dining.
Anchored in crystal and opulence, Baccarat Hotel New York is known for what it does best – sparkle. So, of course, it was only a matter of time until the ‘City of Gold’ got its very own outpost. Shamal Holding is behind the upcoming development of Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai, which is set to open in 2026 and will be the iconic crystal brand’s first property in the UAE.
Located in Downtown Dubai, the hotel’s design sets the tone for an unmatched luxury experience. Inspired by the renowned Baccarat crystal, the sleek towers and shimmering glass façade reflect the brand’s illustrious heritage and Dubai’s limitless ambition.
The Grand Salon, with its lofty ceilings and soft drapery, is illuminated by Baccarat crystal chandeliers and highlighted with the brand’s signature red. As evening falls, the dazzling Baccarat Bar, with its mirrored glow, velvet accents, and grand piano centrepiece will become a luxurious retreat.
The 145 elegantly appointed Classic King, Queen, and Suite rooms will embody modern luxury, featuring refined furnishings, marble accents, and original artworks that exude sophistication.
On the ground level, a promenade and plaza will host premier dining outlets. For relaxation and rejuvenation, guests can enjoy the tranquil wellness spaces, including the Pool Sanctuary with its Burj Khalifa views and the luxurious spa, designed to offer serene, ambient spaces for ultimate relaxation.
The architecturally striking structure of Baccarat Hotel Dubai is crystalline, creating a majestic presence that will shine brightly amongst the skyline of Downtown Dubai. The construction of the Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai utilises architectural design by renowned firm Studio Libeskind and interior design studio, 1508 London. The two-towered building features glimmering glass facades reflective of desert sand, sea, and sun as well as exquisite Baccarat crystal, creating a sophisticated mark of difference that thoughtfully harmonises with the city skyline.
Commenting on this landmark début, Abdulla Binhabtoor, Chief Executive Officer, Shamal Holding said, “We are immensely proud to bring the first Baccarat Hotel to the UAE, offering discerning guests an opportunity to experience a brand that has set the global standard in luxury for over 250 years. Rooted in artistry and unparalleled craftsmanship, the property draws inspiration from Baccarat’s iconic crystal heritage, while the breathtaking setting in Downtown Dubai will complement its regal elegance. This development represents our commitment to offering extraordinary, bespoke experiences, and is perfectly timed to coincide with the global increase in demand for ultra-luxury tourism.”
