Raise your glass - Jumeirah Emirates Towers

The blade-shaped Jumeirah Emirates Towers make a dramatic statement about Dubai. They are located between the business and convention centres, near the beach and a Metro station. Observe a thrilling parade of power brokers in its lobbies, fifteen bars and restaurants. There’s even a floor exclusively for women with rooms that have a cosmetics fridge and Chopard amenities. Glass elevators whisk guests up 52 floors into lofty, newly-refurbished rooms and suites. On the 51st floor is Vu’s hyper-chic bar and one floor below is Vu’s modern European cuisine stablemate. The views are stunning but it’s the ride up that’s more intoxicating than a pre-dinner cocktail.
