Inspired by the famous palaces of the Ottoman era, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray knows how to make an impact. This lavish six-floor beachside hotel, which is located on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, recreates the magic of a golden age with hand-painted frescoes, lavish Turkish murals and gleaming gold columns – all infused with some Arabesque motifs. The incredibly grand hotel lobby is designed to impress with its decorative ceiling, chandeliers adorned with crescent moons and red crystals, and colossal columns. The Turkish theme continues throughout this lavish hotel in the restaurants and rooms, and in particular at the Talise Ottoman Spa, which is home to snow rooms, floating baths and a jaw-dropping Turkish hammam. The hotel has also become a talking point for hosting Beirut's infamous MusicHall club concept.
