Dubai is a marvel, and love it or hate it, there’s no denying it’s home to the best of the best, from the world’s tallest building to some of its most elaborate and impressive hotels. Here’s where the boundaries of luxury are pushed and prodded higher and higher with each new opening. It’s not all gold leaf and white gloves – although there is a lot of that – some of the best hotels in Dubai are found on the ground, lining the golden beaches or even out in the desert dunes.
