I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to visit the incredible city of Dubai for the 10th time this year, and I stayed at the brand-new Delano Dubai.
I am familiar with this hotel chain from the legendary Delano in Miami. This hotel chain is renowned for its personalized luxury experience and its elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.
The Delano Dubai is located on Bluewaters Island, right on the waterfront. Its unique location makes it a chic urban retreat, yet wonderfully at the heart of Dubai's exhilarating action.
Arriving at Delano Dubai is a remarkable experience! You are greeted by a breathtaking view of the Ain before arriving at the resort's stunning entrance.
As soon as you step inside, you feel the elegant, sophisticated yet welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that is the credo of Delano Hotels.
In my opinion, the lobby is stunning! A large open space that combines comfortable seating, reception and concierge desks, it has a refined design and gorgeous aesthetics.
Its high ceiling, natural materials and full-height white curtains are truly captivating!

Let's move on to the accommodations at the Delano Dubai.
The rooms, suites and penthouse have been designed as cocoons to soothe the senses and offer magnificent views of the Ain and the sea.
As an interior designer, I would like to highlight the care taken in the choice of materials, fabrics and finishes.
Having stayed in a 40 square meter ‘Rising Light with Balcony room’, these are the elements that caught my eye:
- The natural light creates a sense of well-being as soon as you enter the room;
- The thoughtfulness of offering guests an apple a day, following the credo 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away';
- The decor is both modern and warm, with wood and beautiful wall coverings;
- The bathroom is spacious and all marble. Special mention for the large bath and the Byredo products

I'd also like to talk about my various culinary experiences at the Delano Dubai. Each restaurant combines a pleasant setting, a refined atmosphere and unique flavours.
Let's start with Tutto Passa. Reminiscent of the vibrancy of the Amalfi Coast, this restaurant is characterized by its warm and inviting decor. You'll feel like at home here for lunch or dinner. I had the pleasure of trying both as I tested their menu of delicious Italian classics. Thank you Honory and Achille, for your excellent service! And how could I not immortalize their delicious food

Let's move on to the Blue Door. I felt in love with this restaurant! Nestled in a garden overlooking the Ain, it's such a magical place! You reach it by walking down a long, leafy lane and the decor is spectacular with XXL floor lamps. The restaurant offers a unique Mediterranean culinary experience, including traditional mezzes and grilled specialties... all inspired by the cuisine of the Anatolian coast. I spent a wonderful evening there, in the care of Baris!

Maison Revka is a restaurant with a warm, cozy and glamorous atmosphere, with comfortable lounges and various terraces. Its fusion cuisine combines Slavic flavours with French elegance. I have very fond memories of my evening at this exceptional restaurant!

Finally, the Rose Bar offers a sophisticated and romantic atmosphere. We were greeted by a charming hostess, Oumaima. Special mention for the extravagant decor with the beautiful chandelier over the bar, the wallpapered walls and the mirrored corridor leading to the restrooms. Their cocktails are creative and delicious, as this photo shows

I'd now like to look at the various activities on offer at The Delano Dubai.
I'll start, of course, with the pool and beach, which offer a unique relaxation experience.
The pool at Delano Dubai is inspired by a Roman bath for the social aspect and a fairy tale for the decoration.

Surrounded by vegetation, it is an oasis of calm in yellow and white. I spent very pleasant moments there, comfortably installed in my cabana and served by the charming Achille. I couldn't resist immortalizing this mythical oasis, inspired by the legendary Delano Miami swimming pool.

Delano's Beach offers an idyllic seafront with 250 meters of unspoilt beach. Here you can spend long days soaking up the sun and taking in the breathtaking views of the Persian Gulf; and let's not forget, the sunset views are incredible!

During your stay at The Delano Dubai, you can also spend a day at La Cantine Dubai, a very trendy place in Dubai. Also located on the Bluewaters waterfront, La Cantine Beach offers a unique experience with its relaxed, chic atmosphere and excellent service. I really liked the contemporary décor, which made us feel very comfortable.

I spent a pleasant day relaxing in the sun, enjoying the pools, the beach and the restaurant, where I enjoyed a succulent Mediterranean lunch served by the very processional Klevis.

I would say without hesitation that The Delano Dubai is the new address to discover without delay...
Like the Delano Miami, The Delano Dubai is elegant and sophisticated!
With its privileged location, first-class facilities and impeccable service (special mention to Irina and Mrs Kamo from the front desk), it is undoubtedly a world of refined style, for those seeking a memorable stay of relaxation and entertainment!
