The Lowdown: If two cultures are known for their dramatic and impressive architecture it’s Italian and Arabic – cue Palazzo Versace Dubai. Reminiscent of a 16th century Italian Palace, this extravagant hotel is an ode to neoclassicism, interwoven with subtle traces of Arabian architecture. It is apt, then, that the hotel sits along the historic verges of Dubai Creek, a mere 15 minutes from the buzz of Downtown Dubai and DIFC. Palazzo Versace is everything you would want from a hotel designed by the Versace brand – overstated, opulent, and a little outrageous – in all the right ways.

Stylish Eats: Enigma’s ethos is centered around creating a culinary journey, experienced not only through the food, but through its chic setting, buzzy ambience, and weekly entertainment. In fact, each of the hotel’s restaurants feature an al fresco terrace reflecting classic Palazzo architecture. Noted as the most authentic luxury Persian experience you can find in Dubai, the menu is designed around the heritage of Executive Chef, Mansour Memarian. For the ultimate royal experience, order the King Legacy, a slow cooked lamb rack and leg marinated in Enigma’s own signature and secret recipe.

Suite Talk: The rooms bring the fashion DNA, the flair, and ultimately the fun of the Versace label. Expect the infamous Versace prints in hues of turquoise, salmon, and, of course, gold, alongside Italian marble bathrooms and sweeping views of the Arabian creek. The best part? Many elements found in the rooms and suites are hand-selected from the Versace Home Collection so you can replicate this fashion haven back in your own home.

Insider’s Tip: The hidden gem of Palazzo Versace Dubai is Q’s Bar, the live entertainment hotspot brought to you by world-renowned record producer, Quincy Jones. Designed as an intimate and moody venue, sit back and educate yourself in the emerging talent selected by Quincy himself, whilst you satiate yourself with Quincy-inspired beverages and delectable bar bites.
Vogue Verdict: Simply, Versace.
