First look: Raffles The Palm Dubai, UAE

Previously branded as Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai, this palatial property on Palm Jumeirah is now under the tender loving care of Raffles group and open for bookings from October 2021. With a brand name synonymous with old-school luxury, Raffles has fit right into the pre-existing grandeur like a princess’ foot in a glass slipper, and much of the offering – from the suites to the private cinema – remain the same.
