The Versace Restaurant

Palazzo Versace Dubai is reminiscent of a sixteenth century Italian palace, with ubiquitous hints of Arabic influence. This marvelous hotel is equipped with a striking entrance, high ceilings, landscaped gardens, and a range of well-crafted Italian furnishings; making it a true symbol of the Versace lifestyle.

It’s pretty much the epitome of luxury.

The suits and hotel rooms have several exclusive designs and fabrics from the House of Versace. Palazzo Versace Dubai is a true luxury retreat for leisure travelers, and will certainly help you relax after your day out shopping, clubbing and battling Dubai’s infamous dry heat. The hotel is surrounded with lush greenery, a rarity that you will certainly enjoy in Dubai. What’s more is that every single piece of furniture or ornament that adorns this hotel is made by the House of Versace. This will certainly give you something to constantly Snapchat about and for your friends to quietly envy.

    Great guide! Wish it was published a month ago. Last month on a visit to Dubai, we went out to Babs Al Shams for cocktails, dinner and a beautiful sunset. It was a nice escape from the concrete jungle of Dubai and it was only 45 minutes away by private car. Next trip, we are staying out there for a few weeks. ?

    Love the article! I too am a solo female traveler. I have a question not necessarily about safety or harassment but about regulations. I heard that you have to be a certain age to be able to stay in Dubai if you are alone. I’m 24 years old and would like to go to Dubai but am I allowed to enter and stay in Dubai if I don’t have anyone with me the whole time?

      Yes of course you are. There’s really no truth in that. I think Dubai is a very safe place to travel, especially solo. Tourism is one of their main sources of revenue and they take tourist safety really seriously.
