While DIFC has attracted the crème de la crème of
investment banks and fund managers from the West like Morgan Stanley, Barclays
Capital, home to Christie’s and other international businesses of note, the area is truly a heart of all things
money in Dubai as well as luxury hotels and prime residences.
For more than just a glittering skyscraper by night, it
is also a lifestyle hub in its own right, boasting a range of governmental
offices, numerous international class restaurants, prominent art galleries and
unique boutique shopping, with the Four Seasons Hotel DIFC nestled in the heart of
Dubai’s bustling business district. Despite the check-in being done at the ground floor level, there is the warm and cozy lounge area located on the P level which you can access
via the adjacent leading financial hub and passing through the promenade of
swanky boutiques and restaurants.
The foyer is not big but well fitted with arty and
elegant décor with ceiling high glassed windows from both front and the back drawing
plenty of warm and natural lighting that brightens up the entire area. The
centre piece installation is highlighted by a semi-sphere black marble water
feature topped with a mixed color of flower petals juxtaposing the dramatic
hanging teardrop glasses which act as a substitute for the usual and expected dramatic crystal chandelier.
Two faux potted cherry blossom trees in full bloom for
all seasons with pink and white flowers add a blissful and harmonized ambience
welcoming guests upon entering the foyer and adorned with glass floor lanterns
that were elegantly executed. Next to the lobby is the chic and stylish Penrose Lounge
outfitted with bookshelves, comfy sofas and armchairs that is frequented by the
locals and business encounters, especially over afternoon tea or evening cocktails and a light meal with the unrivalled views of the Burj Khalifa from a nearby distance.
Across the foyer is the sleek casual dining MINA Brasserie where breakfast is served and also with
a stylishly crafted menu for all day dining that will satisfy your
hunger with a brilliant American-Italian and Continental gastronomy served in a
contemporary art décor design dining area with an outdoor patio garden at your preferred
choice. The food is gorgeously executed here and something that you won’t want
to miss out on over dinner.
Delicious breakfast is served daily at Mina Brasserie.
For an alternative dining experience, also check out Le Petit Chef at the ground level.

Our arriving experience was very well handled by the
Guest Experience Manager Andrea Coco for a warm welcome and she personally escorted
us to our 64sqm studio suite. The corner suite is modern and contemporary with
a living room featuring a plush curved sofa. The open-concept suite with lights
filters through a glass wall between the bedroom and limestone bathroom,
creating a luminous ambience and enhancing the views of the Burj Khalifa and
Zabeel park.
ORO! ORO! Gold is definitely the new black in Dubai if not
the Four Seasons Hotel DIFC. Our welcome amenities awaited us with a bottle of
water with pure gold created exclusively for the hotel as well as a box of
dates fully wrapped in gold leaves to make your day a golden day and add a
little bit of luxury along with a seasonal fruit basket.
The suite is mounted with tech-savvy touch button controls and
gadgets like an ipad for a unique urban living and luxury, yet leisure, sense. The
curvy headboard adds a cyber feel especially when contrasting the hanging
bedside lamps and a steel design stylish desk lamp.
When the curtain is drawn by night, the glistening Burj Khalifa view among other Dubai’s highrises is uninterrupted and becomes privately yours.The bed is heavenly, as this is a customized Four Seasons bed and comes complete with your choice of mattress topper for the best night’s sleep and again wake up with a gorgeous view.

The large bathroom with a separate toilet comes along
with a spacious bath tub and quite roomy shower. In room amenities feature
premium natural products from Sodashi – a natural high performance skincare range from Australia for you to nourish your skin while taking a shower. It is pure
and the aromas are divine and you’re gonna love it.
The rooftop glass water swimming pool is another oasis
for you to relax and recharge. You can also relax your tired muscles in the
heated whirlpool or enjoying signature treatments at The SPA.
In-house guests have another additional bonus by staying with
the Four Seasons Hotel DIFC, as you are granted the use of facilities at its sister
resort that is located 15 minutes away at Jumeirah beach. With 2 outdoor
temperature control swimming pools (one adults only pool) and an outstanding elegantly glassed roof indoor pool for your pleasure.
You can easily spend the day lazily lounging at the rooftop, soaking in the sun with the city view from atop as well as dipping into the spectacular and unique glass-enclosed swimming pool.
The jewel box of a pool is in no doubt the most instagrammable spot with every guest enjoying their leisure time here. Despite the telephone operators not quite wanting to do a step further with proper greetings by name and hanging up in a hurry before a more proper etiquette was offered for a good night greeting, service was attentive overall from the front desk to the restaurant and especially the housekeeping staff who has a cheerful voice each time we called and has the right greetings on name and listened to guest’s requests, plus our room was spotlessly clean throughout our stay.
While elegance is evident in every aspect of the design and in every comfort for a swanky staycation or a leisure workation, personalized service is definitely a value commodity. This hotel delivers way above just a satisfactory staycation and offers a sophisticated urban sanctuary getaway that is inimitably coming from the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts’ exceptional hospitality.
