For over 250 years, the Baccarat brand has been synonymous with elegance and refinement, captivating discerning individuals worldwide. Now, this legacy extends to the Middle East, offering a rare opportunity to own a part of this illustrious brand.

Set to open in 2026, the Baccarat Hotel and Residences are being managed by renowned Dubai developer H&H Development, alongside awardwinning architects Studio Libeskind and interior design studio 1508 London. The exclusive mixed-use development promises to set a new standard of elevated living in Dubai.

Originating from New York, this will be the first Baccarat development in

the UAE. The ground-breaking ceremony, led by investment firm, Shamal Holding, marked the start of construction for this highly anticipated project. Two crystal-inspired towers will grace Dubai’s skyline, offering a mix of hotel suites and bespoke residences.

The apartments, ranging from two to five beds, feature exquisite natural materials, including fine marble and stunning crystals. Full height windows provide breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline, while residents will enjoy access to the hotel’s enviable amenities, including bars, restaurants, swimming pool, gymnasium, spa, and wellness centre alongside a plethora of concierge services.

The cutting-edge architectural design of the Baccarat building will look right at home amongst Dubai’s skyline. The interior scheme proposed offers supreme luxury as standard, with the trademark Baccarat splash of red

The interior spaces exude warmth and sophistication, contrasting with the bold geometric exterior, and offering some of the best views in the Middle East. The development will blend the brand’s heritage of craftsmanship with the energy of Dubai, delivering refined elegance and iconic design. Abdulla Binhabtoor, Chief Portfolio Management Officer at Shamal Holding, expressed excitement about the project, stating, “Baccarat Hotel and Residences Dubai introduces a glimmering new masterpiece with an otherworldly lifestyle experience for those who choose to see life in a new light.”

The collaboration between Shamal Holding, H&H Development, and

their world-class partners underscores a commitment to excellence and innovation. Miltos Bosinis, Chief Executive Officer of H&H Development, emphasised their dedication to crafting spaces that epitomise cuttingedge design and sophisticated luxury.

Founded by King Louis XV, legendary French crystal company Baccarat has long been associated with royalty and regal luxury. With Baccarat Hotel and Residences Dubai, this legacy continues to flourish, offering residents an unparalleled living experience in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
