The striking architecture and interior design by Jacques Garcia are inspired by the elements of earth, fire, water and air. A tree of life greets guests in the hotel’s lobby before they’re shown to one of 126 guest rooms or 215 private residences. And a rainforest-themed spa includes male and female areas each with treatment rooms (couples pamper experiences are also provided), heated beds, a vitality pool, jacuzzi, relaxation areas, a brine steam room, herbal sauna and a rain walk. The various restaurants – between the 24th and 28th floors – provide panoramic views of Musheireb, serving Italian, Thai, Asian and Indian cuisines.
