The very name Ritz-Carlton is synonymous with exemplary service, sumptuous accommodation and exquisite cuisine. Situated within extensive, lush and beautifully landscaped gardens on Jumeirah Beach, this hotel is distinctive because it is low-rise. The exterior, with its terracotta facade, has a somewhat Mediterranean 'hacienda' style, while the bedrooms have been painstakingly designed to create a Moorish feel with the liberal use of tiles and ornate woodwork. There are a number of dining options and a multiplicity of recreational facilities. Having 138 rooms, the Ritz-Carlton is somewhat smaller than its neighbouring hotels and that little bit more intimate. It offers a high degree of sophistication, timeless elegance and the most personal of service.
