Whether you are looking to escape from the summer heat with friends and family, or you are on a business trip in the bustling hub that is Dubai, the Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has it all. Offering everything from cooling spa treatments and lazy pool days, to the hottest new rooftop experience in the city, this is your ultimate destination for both business and pleasure. You will be in the heart of the busy city while enjoying the relaxation and rejuvenation that you deserve.
Located in the heart of Dubai’s business and financial hub, Four Seasons Hotel DIFC is an obvious choice for any active business traveler. However, families coming for tourism can also enjoy the hotel’s proximity to some of Dubai’s best shopping centres, such as Dubai Mall, as well as the city’s main attraction, Burj Khalifa, not to mention Jumeirah Beach which is just a 15 minute drive from the hotel.
The hotel itself boasts an urban and business-centric style, with a modern, sky-rise, high-tech exterior and a sleek interior. Whether you are getting ready for a day filled with shopping or have back-to-back meetings, the Four Seasons Hotel DIFC’s beautiful hotel rooms will provide the comfort that you need. With their floor to ceiling windows overlooking Burj Khalifa, spa-like bathrooms and the walk-in closets available in many of the rooms, comfort is a clear priority for this boutique-style hotel. Staying in the room is basically a holiday in itself, as just by looking out the window, you get to see the entirety of the city’s skyline.
But there’s a lot more in store for guests at this unique hotel. Have all your friends on Instagram been posting pictures with their perfect tan lines all summer? Well it’s not too late for you to join that scene too. At the Four Seasons Hotel DIFC, you will discover a sanctuary on the seventh floor that includes their iconic, Instagrammable glass-side pool. So, get your cameras out and get tanning! As you cool down in the serene water, you can enjoy the stunning views of the cityscape all around. With the variety of inflatables both to pose or recline on, this is definitely one of Dubai’s premier chill out zones.
In this heat and with all the chaos of modern life, it’s also a good idea to head to the hotel’s incredible spa, aptly named, The Spa, now offering a soothing lemongrass cooling therapy that provides the ultimate refreshing experience. Performed to the slow beats of Brazilian bossa nova music, the lemongrass cooling therapy starts with revitalising cold leg compresses which are followed by an energising leg massage using cooling aloe vera. Relaxing, right? It doesn’t stop there though. The next part of the therapy consists of placing ice cubes on your legs to reduce swelling and to help them feel lighter. At the same time, the tension in all of your pressure points, including your head, neck, shoulders, arms and hands, will be relieved with the gentle use of lemongrass essential oils. Finally, this 45 minute treatment will end with a slow, deep back massage for complete relaxation, and a healthy drink of cold lemongrass iced tea full of cleansing health benefits.
Once you’ve obtained the perfect tan from spending a lazy day at the pool and are feeling relaxed after your tranquil spa experience, you’ll be ready for a cool drink, preferably accompanied by a selection of fresh sushi bites to devour. To quench your thirst, head to the rooftop bar, Luna Sky Bar, a slick and cool lounge-style tent in collaboration with Grey Goose that serves a diverse range of pan-Asian food packed with flavour. Guests can select their exotic beverage of choice from an entire menu of cocktails, including Le Grand Fizz, an elegant blend of Grey Goose, elderflower, fresh lime and more. The air conditioning will keep guests cool and refreshed so they can party into the night to a live DJ’s beats.
MINA Brasserie’s luscious green air-conditioned terrace is another ideally cool spot at the Four Seasons at DIFC. Savour the hearty cuisine curated by world-class Egyptian-American chef Michael Mina, which features the freshest ingredients combined to create truly decadent dishes, including their signature tuna tartare. From the Cham-piña, a twist on the traditional Pina Colada, to Purple Rain, a delicious blend of Cointreau and butterfly pea-infused gin, its gleaming golden bar makes it a point to offer only the finest quality drinks. For those looking for something to refresh them throughout the day, hand-squeezed fresh juices and mocktails are available too.
Aside from both of these options, there is the Churchill Club, one of the best cigar lounges in the city, with an excellent and expansive cigar selection. With the delicious food and drink on offer, this spot will become your favourite place to enjoy business lunches, entertainment or to simply lounge with a group of friends.
But that’s not all! The hotel is offering a deal you must not miss. Guests booking a suite are invited to stay longer with an additional night free when they book three nights at Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre. And with what they’ve got in store for you this season, you’ll be wanting to stay in vacation mode for as long as possible.
