Elegant, understated, verdant, boutique, low-rise – Desert Palm basks easily in the desert landscape to provide a refreshing, avant-garde contrast to the conventional flamboyance of the city’s latest skyscraping hotels.

Menus can be tailored to guests’ specific cultural and dietary requirements and matched with world class wines or simply enjoyed in the comfort and sophisticated style of the restaurant, the wine wall, bar, private dining, destination dining, in room dining or gourmet café.
