Baccarat Hotel Dubai - New Hotel in the United Arab Emirates

A Prime Position in Downtown Dubai

Located in the heart of Downtown, the development offers uninterrupted views across the city’s most defining landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Frame, Al Fahidi Fort, and the historic Dubai Creek. This rare vantage point places the project at the intersection of past and future, where old Dubai’s cultural heritage meets the vertical ambition of its modern skyline.

A Vision by Studio Libeskind and AECOM

The architectural concept is led by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind in collaboration with AECOM, resulting in two crystalline high-rise towers defined by a shared geometric language. Tower One rises to 237 meters across 44 floors and houses the hotel, branded residences, and lifestyle amenities. Its massing is conceived as a cluster of prismatic forms that branch upward, creating a dynamic silhouette that shifts with light and perspective.

Interiors and Landscape Shaped by Global Design Studios

The interiors are designed by 1508 London, bringing a refined contemporary sensibility to the hotel and residences, while landscape architecture by EDSA introduces a layered urban oasis at ground level. The result is a development where architecture, interiors, and landscape are deeply interconnected, forming a seamless experience from street to skyline.

Hotel Rooms and Baccarat Branded Residences

Tower One contains approximately 144 hotel rooms and suites alongside 49 branded residences under the Baccarat name. The residences and hotel accommodations are designed to reflect a sense of sculptural calm, with expansive views over the city and interiors defined by precision, light, and material clarity. The residential component elevates private living within a fully serviced luxury environment, offering hotel-level amenities within a residential setting.

A Vertical Lifestyle of Dining, Wellness, and Social Spaces

The tower integrates a full spectrum of hospitality experiences, including restaurants, a café, a bar, a spa, and an elevated pool. These spaces are distributed vertically and within the podium, creating a layered lifestyle environment rather than a single destination floor. The design encourages fluid movement between public and private realms, reinforcing the idea of a living building rather than a static structure.

A Ground Plane Designed for the City

At street level, the development opens into a landscaped public plaza designed as a cooling urban retreat. Water features, shaded seating areas, and dense greenery create a microclimate within the city, while cascading water elements and planted terraces extend toward pedestrian pathways. This public realm not only enhances the pedestrian experience but also strengthens the building’s connection to the wider urban fabric of Downtown Dubai.

Sustainability and Urban Responsibility

The project is designed with a strong environmental framework, targeting the Silver Sa’fa rating under the Dubai Green Building System. Passive cooling strategies, integrated landscaping, and water-based climate moderation reflect a broader commitment to sustainable urban development in a desert environment, balancing architectural ambition with ecological awareness.

A New Icon for Contemporary Dubai

The Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai is more than a luxury development; it is a sculptural statement within one of the world’s most ambitious skylines. By combining the heritage of Baccarat with the visionary language of Daniel Libeskind, the project introduces a new interpretation of urban elegance, where crystal, light, and architecture converge into a singular experience.
