London’s luxury hotel Dukes to open first international outpost in Dubai next month



Get ready for vintage British experience when one of London’s biggest luxury hotels opens up its first sister property at Palm Jumeirah in December.

Dukes Dubai will recreate the original five-star hotels charm, with 279 bedrooms and 227 fully-furnished serviced apartments and a beach-front view, restaurants and bars.

This is Dukes first international property and is situated on the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah.

The hotel will have a women-only Duchess floor featuring 20 rooms and 227 hotel apartments. There will also be three indoor and outdoor pools, including an infinity pool and lazy river, fitness centre, private beach and a kids club.

There will be six dining venues, including the hotel’s signature causal dining spot Great British Restaurant under executive chef Martin Cahill.

The hotel will also launch the first international outpost for the Mumbai-based family restaurant group, Khyber, which specialises in Northern Indian cuisine.

The Tea Lounge will offer traditional British afternoon tea. The award-winning Manhattan-style grill and bar West 14th will also open at the hotel.
