9 lavish new hotels opening in Dubai in 2019

From luxury resorts complete with beach clubs to a hotel in JVC complete with more than 200 pools…

2018 was a big year of hotel openings, from luxury resorts on The Palm to budget-friendly hotels in the Marina, and it looks like 2019 will be no less impressive when it comes to new hotels opening in Dubai.

From Mandarin Oriental making its Dubai debut to a second serving on FIVE complete with 270 pools, here are 9 lavish hotels opening in Dubai in 2019.

Mandarin Oriental Jumeira

One of the most hotly anticipated hotel openings in 2019 is the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, the Asian brand’s first Dubai hotel. Found on the Jumeirah beachfront, the hotel features 178 guest rooms, most of which come with private balconies, seven restaurants and lounges and a 2,000 square metre spa. It’s set to open in the first quarter of 2019.

St Regis Dubai – The Palm

The first St Regis in the city was recently rebranded into Habtoor Palace, so we’re hoping the second serving fares better when it opens on The Palm next year. The luxury 280-room hotel will occupy the first 18 floors of a new building by master developer Palm Tower, which will be home to an infinity pool, 52nd floor viewing deck and several restaurants. It will also sit alongside the region’s first St Regis beach club, which will open in 2019, too.

Among the host of planned amenities is an infinity pool situated 90m above the ground, as well as a legion of celebrity chef-led restaurants which include Dinner by Heston from Heston Blumenthal, Ariana’s Persian Kitchen by Iranian-Persian chef Ariana Bundy and Jaleo, the acclaimed restaurant by Jose Andres.
