The Shangri-La Hotel is also conveniently located, as it’s just minutes away by car from some of Dubai’s most renowned attractions, including The Dubai Mall, the Burj Khalifa, and City Walk.

Stylish Eats: The Shangri-La has three restaurants, all of which offer a distinctive cuisine.

Shang Palace – With its all-Chinese team of chefs, Shang Palace serves an extensive menu of authentic Chinese and Cantonese dishes, including signature favorites such as Peking Duck (below). Wash it down with a fragrant cup of tea from their extensive list.

Hoi An transports you back to the ports of Asia with mouth-watering dishes served on traditional Vietnamese bamboo platters and lotus leaves. Be sure to sample their dessert menu, especially the renowned banana pancake with fruits salad and vanilla ice-cream, a popular Vietnamese street dish.
