Escape to The Dubai EDITION, a tranquil destination amidst the bustle of the city

Nestled in Downtown Dubai, The Dubai EDITION is a blissful retreat tucked away in the heart of the city, featuring stunning views of Burj Khalifa. The hotel’s minimalist design, and warm interiors with captivating architecture boasts striking wooden and marble elements, a 15-metre-high vaulted arch ceiling, an opulent crystal chandelier, digital and abstract art, and lush greenery that’s prevalent throughout the venue. Upon entering the premises, the hotel exudes the vibe of a lavish establishment that’s redefining the rules of traditional luxury hotels.

ACCOMMODATION

We experienced the EDITION State-of-Mind getaway package, comprising a widespread breakfast for two at Duomo, two complimentary beverages at Thia Sky Lounge, and AED200 off on rejuvenating 60-minute spa treatments. Entering our spacious King Room with a private balcony, we were stunned by the views of Burj Khalifa upon arrival. The suite features a plush bed, an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower and free-standing bathtub, Le Labo toiletries crafted exclusively for the brand, a spacious work desk, flatscreen TV and a comfy couch for when you want to lounge with an espresso and a good read.

CULINARY OFFERINGS

The Dubai EDITION manages to deliver personalized experiences at its exceptional dining establishments. Our journey for the evening began with sundowners at the outdoor pool terrace, Thia SkyLounge, while enjoying the cool breeze and views of the iconic Burj Khalifa. We headed for Inti Rooftop & Lounge after, a Nikkei experience boasting an al fresco terrace, Peruvian beats, and panoramic views of the Dubai Fountains and The Dubai Opera.

The restaurant has a strong connection to the Incan cultural heritage and identity, reflected throughout the venue’s design - intimate dark hues with abstract light fixtures. Our meal began with creamy Guacamole served with chilli chips, followed by a delicate silky Ceviche Classico with seabass, leche de tigre, chuple and sweet potato. The smooth and tangy flavours made this classic incredibly palatable. For mains, we shared the crunchy Mariscos compromising flavourful prawn, squid, scallop and aji panca rice, and the melt-in-your-mouth, indulgent Yakiniku (sous-vide beef short ribs). To accompany the mains, we opted for the Huancaina (crispy potato drizzled with yellow chilli cream), a glorious side with an explosion of flavours and textures. And to finish, we indulged in the Exotic Suspiro showcasing passion fruit cream, seasonal fruit and pavlova, which was utterly delightful. The decadent Manjari chocolate fondant, with dark chocolate and coconut ice cream, was sinful but worth every bite. Breakfast is served at Duomo; an airy venue with vibrant couches indoors and an outdoor seating area surrounded by lush greenery. The restaurant offers a menu-style breakfast spread with wholesome options brought to the table. My dining partner and I ordered the Eggs benedict with smoked salmon, Greek yogurt topped with granola and berries, a croissant basket filled with the usual - chocolate, almond, buttered and jam-filled varieties - and the Avocado toast brightened with feta and walnuts. The Duomo is a must-visit in the evening too! The dome lit with gorgeous digital art and abstract projections is a work of art.

VERDICT

A peaceful enclave that ticks all the boxes for a quick getaway, from high-standard culinary offerings to a serene stay with unbeatable views.
