Set in the commercial district of Dubai International Financial Centre — an upscale neighborhood where smartly dressed executives walk around briskly, take-away coffee cups in hand, and those with discerning tastes browse designer boutiques and art galleries — Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre is a sophisticated enclave that scores on both style and location. Radiating 1960s Manhattan-esque glamour and offering world-class restaurants and bars, the hotel appeals to business travelers as well as those who enjoy the finer things in life.
The 275-room Waldorf Astoria DIFC occupies the 18th to 55th floors of the swanky Burj Daman, a skyscraper in an area where you’ll find plenty of top-notch fine-dining restaurants and trendy bars to let your hair down and play after the day’s work is done. The oldest neighborhoods of the city, with atmospheric souks, sand-colored wind towers and wooden abra boats plying the creek, are just a 15-minute drive. In the opposite direction, just 20 minutes away, lie newer attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper; man-made islands such as Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters Island; and Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel.
