So many staycations, so little time… There’s an exciting line-up of new properties set to open in Dubai this year. Among them are a seriously wow-worthy array of luxury hotels, complete with a range of exciting dining concepts, lavish pool facilities, and incredible citywide views. From the super-luxury, to the colourful and creative, here are the best hotel openings expected in 2021. St Regis The Palm Opening: May 2021 The Palm Jumeirah St Regis will be a 289 room hotel – with the rooms spanning the first 18 floors of The Palm Tower, while the upper floors of the building will be made up of 504 luxury apartments. Originally pipped for Q4 2 020, the hotel will now open in May 2021. However the pool and restaurants are not expected to open until Q4 2021. AURA Skypool will also open as part of a three-floor luxe dining and entertainment destination atop Palm Tower. One floor above on level 51 the famed SushiSamba restaurant will open, serving up a mix of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine; while the 52nd floor already plays host to the Palm Tower’s much-awaited viewing deck, aptly called The View.
