Terrace Suite

The suite is 94 square metres, arranged as two rooms and a very large terrace. The living room has a long sofa, two easy chairs and a round dining table at the far end under a cluster of pendant lights; a set of double doors goes through to the bedroom, which has its own bathroom with a tub and a walk-in shower. Cream walls, teal coral carpet, a scarlet coral branch on the wall — the same materials as the guest rooms, at twice the size.

The terrace is the reason to book it. It is the widest outdoor space of any suite here, deep enough for a proper table and a pair of loungers, and dinner outside is a real option rather than a theoretical one. Imperial Club Lounge access comes with the suite, along with a return car from Dubai International, in-suite breakfast, daily access to the AWAKEN facilities and two kids' club sessions.
