Ritz Carlton Hotel
******
Location
Occupying three hundred metres of prime beachfront, The Ritz-Carlton is just 25 minutes from both the Airport and the business and shopping districts. The Emirates Golf Club is only a five minute drive away, and the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club - home of the PGA Desert Classic - and the Dubai Golf & Racing Club are also within easy reach.

Accommodation
Regarded by many as the city's most intimate luxury hotel, The Ritz-Carlton is gracious elegance personified. It has 138 rooms and suites, all sea-facing, including eighty-seven deluxe rooms, eight suites, thirty-eight Ritz-Carlton Club rooms and three Club suites. Some 350 attentive multi-lingual staff ensure your comfort and entertainment at all times during your stay.

Facilities
Every meal taken here is a celebration of eating, whether it involves casual poolside dining, traditional afternoon tea or a romantic supper for two. The chefs pledge that each meal will be a feast - for the eyes as well as the palate. La Baie specialises in French seafood, The Splendido in contemporary Mediterranean cuisine and the Gulf Pavilion provides refreshing alfresco dining. Guests may choose the Library and Cigar Room for cocktails and the Lobby Lounge for afternoon tea. From the private beach a full range of watersports is offered, and the Spa & Beach Club, with its Balinese influence, makes an idyllic retreat for both body and mind.

An oasis of sheer luxury, it offers eight treatment rooms, a private VIP Beauty Suite, hydrotherapy rooms, ladies' and gentlemen's beauty salons, a gymnasium with sea views, ladies'- only exercise room, aerobics studio, four floodlit courts for tennis and two air-conditioned for squash. Set amidst the lush tropical gardens are three superb swimming pools, including one for children with a water slide. There is also a Kid's Club which offers fun-filled days for children (and care-free hours for their parents).
