Best Luxury Hotels in Business Bay

Touted as the new centre for trade, this district close to the downtown area of Dubai epitomises the UAE city’s upscale approach to progress. Purpose-built and developed by Dubai Properties Group as a forward-focussed commercial, residential and business neighbourhood (company registrations happen fast here), Business Bay is an extension of Dubai Creek; it runs from Ras Al Khor to Sheikh Zayed Road. And the nightlife here is buzzing, with top spots including BLU, Oak and La Perle DBX where you can watch Cirque de Soleil-style shows with cutting-edge audio and special effects.
