Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl

On a secluded man-made island within the Pearl, closeted in an oasis of palm trees and lush gardens, Marsa Malaz Kempinski’s hotel’s façade blends with the vibrant neighbourhood. It is as chic and charming on the inside. There are 281 luxury rooms and suites, all with balconies, all designed with lavish Arabian panache. The Marsa Malaz Suite has a king bedroom and superb views, a living room, which can be connected to a deluxe room, presenting an outdoor area of 200 square metres. Deluxe rooms peer over the Pearl with its Venetian channels and each one has a king-sized bed, flat screen television, tea & coffee facilities as well as 24-hour butler service.
