Expect the unexpected at Dubai’s newest W Hotel.
Situated on the Jumeirah Beach coastline, the 31-storey W Dubai – Mina Seyahi, with its striking glass architecture and unobstructed views of the Arabian Gulf, has officially opened its doors.
Dubai’s historical, cultural and social fabric is woven throughout the hotel’s design, with surprises waiting to be discovered around every corner. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the artfully designed porte-cochère that leads to a show-stopping Welcome Desk featuring bold colours and textures inspired by the romanticism of a snake charmer – a nod to the Middle East’s history of mystique and its mix of poets, storytellers, and performers who brought the energy of the region to life. Inside, the W Lounge – the brand’s take on the hotel lobby – pays homage to Middle Eastern gold souks, with warm hues and gold accents to create a modern-day bazaar. Guests can connect over imaginative cocktails and savoury bites infused with local flavours, complemented by live music and nightly DJ sets.
W Dubai – Mina Seyahi features 318 rooms, including 27 suites – all sea-facing with a private balcony – where guests can take in sunsets over the Arabian Gulf and Palm Jumeirah. The design blends traditional Middle Eastern elements in a bright, inviting space. Vibrantly hued interiors and custom furnishings feature layers of highly textured fabrics, whilst separate living, vanity and sleeping spaces are welcomed luxuries.
The hotel’s eclectic dining and nightlife options will captivate those in search of local and globally inspired flavours. Located on the second floor, Ginger Moon is W Dubai – Mina Seyahi’s urban beach club experience offering imaginative lunch, sunset and dinner menus. This seamless indoor-outdoor space opens onto an expansive terrace leading to an infinity pool that highlights panoramic views from the Mina Seyahi bay. The W brand’s signature take on the poolside scene – WET Deck – offers guests a fresh space to soak up the sun poolside or under the refreshing shade of a cabana while enjoying cocktails, bites and eclectic DJ sets.
Opening June 2022, ATTIKO is a sleek, high-energy rooftop lounge boasting enviable views. ATTIKO will serve imaginative cuisine featuring a curated selection of modern and classic Pan-Asian dishes and an extensive menu of international hops, grapes, and signature handcrafted cocktails.
Expected to open in 2023,Malakite beach club and pool will offer a two-in-one concept set around a 50-metre-long pool and private beach. Sunseekers can expect surprise performances throughout the day. When the sun sets, the action moves into the 1,200 square metres indoor arena for a spectacle of talented artists that will redefine the Dubai entertainment experience.
BAR-B Spa is all about cocktails, socialising, and finding balance, featuring four treatment rooms, a beauty bar, and relaxation areas. The fitness centre – 1REBEL/FIT – will mark the UAE debut of UK-born 1Rebel in 2023 with a dual-storey studio.
