Luxury homebuyers have always found branded homes to be very appealing, and their appeal is only increasing. The branded housing market in Dubai has grown by more than 400% since 2014, and between 2019 and 2024, the number of projects in the city more than doubled. Any residential development gains enormous value when a well-known brand supports it because buyers can be sure that certain standards will be fulfilled, whether they relate to the calibre of construction, the prompt completion of projects, or the calibre of services that residents will have access to. Long-term business travellers have been interested in hotel apartments since the early 1990s. Hotel brands saw a great chance to create residential projects that would provide all of the amenities that their customers were accustomed to and enjoyed with the emergence of freehold property purchases in Dubai. These are a few of Dubai's top branded hotels that combine a residential and hospitality element.
Atlantis The Palm Dubai
This vibrant property is rising in Dubai from the Palm Island's shoreline, the biggest artificial island in the world. Atlantis is marketed as the flagship property that it is. The Palm is encircled by the majestically serene Arabian Gulf and sits at the tip of Palm Island's outer crescent. The opulent hotel is one of Dubai's most striking resorts; it's a combination of an aquatic wonderland and a popular luxury hotel with over 1,500 rooms and suites. The resort features some of Dubai's most exquisite hotel rooms, each one created to provide guests with unmatched luxury and complete comfort. Among the stunning underwater views from the hotel's underwater suites are the "ancient" ruins of the fabled lost city of Atlantis and its 65,000 marine residents.
Park Hyatt Dubai
The Park Hyatt Dubai, situated in the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club on the banks of the magnificent Dubai Creek, offers a perfect location for an opulent vacation. This five-star resort has 223 luxurious rooms, including 34 suites, with breath-taking views of the marina and Dubai Creek. The best Western, Thai, and French cuisines are served at the hotel's award-winning restaurants. Through its theatre kitchens, wood-fired ovens, and floor-to-ceiling windows, the hotel adds flair and excitement to both indoor and outdoor dining. As a high-end resort in Dubai, it also provides its visitors with a variety of thrilling experiences, like Seawings, an aerial seaplane that takes off from Dubai Creek and an 18-hole, par-71 championship course that stretches into thousands of undulating yards, or luxurious spa treatments at the Amara Spa, one of the best spas in Dubai.
Four Seasons Private Residences
One of the world’s leading hospitality brands, Four Seasons has properties on every major continent. In Dubai, the hotel has had been a presence along Jumeirah Beach Road and is also a key part of the five-star hospitality offering in DIFC. The Four Seasons Private Residences, which provide all of the exceptional amenities of the brand in stylish residential complexes, are a natural addition to the city’s landscape. The first of these, located along the Dubai Water Canal in Jumeirah, was opened in 2022 and a new project in DIFC is currently under development. Both of these projects feature a dramatically different design from their hotel counterparts and have a very limited number of units.
Armani Residences
Dubai appeared to be the ideal location for the Armani brand to enter the luxury hospitality and real estate sectors. In 2010, the world's first Armani Hotel & Residences opened at the Burj Khalifa and received widespread praise, which prompted Armani to expand its lifestyle portfolio. The hotel has a very subtle design with tasteful neutral fixtures to balance a high contrast colour scheme. During their stay at Armani, guests and visitors can take advantage of world-class amenities like the Armani Spa and five signature restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Armani Ristorante, in addition to a full suite of flawless services. Its enormous popularity has led to the launch of a second Armani project in Dubai. Located on Palm Jumeirah, the new project, called Armani Beach Residences, will be a fantastic addition to Dubai's coastal offerings.
Bulgare Residences
In 2004, the jewellery brand Bulgari opened its first hotel under its own name in the centre of Milan, showcasing its exquisite craftsmanship in upscale living areas. Since then, nine hotels—all in large cities—have opened all over the world, and three more projects are in the works. Since its opening at the end of 2017, the Bulgari Resort & Residences Dubai has grown to become one of the city's most well-liked hotels. This is primarily because of the amazing experience it offers, but it is also partially because of its unusual location on the seahorse-shaped Jumeirah Bay Island. Drawing inspiration from its waterfront location, Bulgari Resort & Residences features coral-shaped shades that encircle the building's facade, embodying a sophisticated nautical theme. The residences and hotel rooms both have beautiful interiors with floor-to-ceiling windows, wooden floors, and cutting-edge features like complete home automation.
Baccarat Residences
King Louis XV of France authorised the establishment of the first Baccarat glassworks, which is how the amazing history of the Baccarat brand began. The company is well-known for its exquisite glass and crystal ware, and it is now branching out into fashion accessories and fragrances. The brand took a different turn in the early 2000s when the first Baccarat Hotel opened in Manhattan. The opening of a second residential project in Miami came shortly after, and until the Dubai project's launch in 2023, there were no other properties worldwide bearing the Baccarat brand for over 15 years. The Baccarat Hotel & Residences is in the centre of the city's entertainment and leisure scene thanks to its excellent location in the bustling Downtown Dubai.
One&Only One Za'abeel
The One&Only resorts are a part of a well-known international chain of hotels that also owns the Atlantis resorts. One&Only enjoys a stellar reputation in Dubai for the quality of its guest experience and service. The brand's third property in Dubai, One&Only One Za'abeel, is distinguished by a few important features. Being in the centre of the city and just a short distance from the central business district, it is the only property that is not near a beach. In addition to being home to the city's first One&Only Private Homes, it also holds the record for the longest cantilever in the world. The One&Only brand's most exclusive product, the Private Homes, is only offered at a few locations. These residences have exquisite design and, because of their urban setting, offer the most breath-taking city views.
Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa
Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, is nestled among the lush palm groves, emerald canopies and iconic sand dunes of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve where desert wildlife abounds. Offering secluded tranquillity and iconic vistas of the sweeping plains and Hajar Mountain massif, the property showcases the heritage and architecture of the Bedouins and also offers a sense of desert adventure. Offering unsurpassed luxury, the suites – reminiscent of Bedouin tents – are faced far apart and blend gently into the desert.
