Palazzo Versace Dubai
Cues
The Versace spa offers the only gold facial treatment in Dubai using actual 24-karat gold flakes — book the Wednesday afternoon slot when the lead therapist from Milan is on duty. Avoid the à la carte breakfast at Giardino and opt for the buffet instead, which includes the same truffle scrambled eggs at half the price.
Insider Cue
The only Versace-branded hotel in the world — every detail from the furniture to the staff uniforms is Versace. Located on Dubai Creek Harbour. The design is maximalist luxury at its most committed. The private beach and pools are beautiful. A unique experience for guests who want something genuinely different.
Insider Cue
Description
Palazzo Versace is pure maximalist theatre—all gold-leaf columns, baroque mosaics, and ornate everything, which works if you're here to feel transported rather than relaxed. The Garhoud location keeps you away from the Marina madness, and the private beach access is genuinely excellent, but you're paying heavily for the Versace name rather than innovation.
