Downtown Dubai has a long-awaited new signature hotel: the Mandarin Oriental Downtown has opened—modern, bold, and for anyone looking for something new in Dubai. A designer skyscraper full of energy, elegance, and urban lightness. The city's second Mandarin—and definitely one with wow factor.
The rooms and suites are modern urban oases: warm, grounded, clear, and luxurious. Wood-paneled walls, high-quality fabrics, and Asian-inspired details create a sense of calm amid the hustle and bustle of the city. The panoramic windows offer spectacular views—especially from the higher floors—while smart room details make your stay as effortless as you would expect from Mandarin Oriental. If you want even more space, the Residences, the first MO residences available for rent in Dubai, offer private retreats with hotel service—a real highlight for long-term travelers and style-conscious guests.
Ten restaurants and bars – each with its own character. At Yù & Mì, Cantonese and Sichuan flavors meet the flair of 1960s Hong Kong: lively, elegant, slightly mystical. Chitarra serves Italian cuisine with a clear, modern interpretation – handmade and high-quality. Noia by the Pool is the new Mediterranean heart of the hotel: Greek spirit, a spacious sun terrace, cabanas, and live music – relaxed during the day, vibrant in the evening. The line-up is complemented by international haute cuisine such as Nikkei, French finesse, and local flavors. Those who love culinary delights will find a reason to come back here.
Wellness is not an add-on here, but an experience on two levels. The spa offers authentic treatments with regional ingredients, luxurious treatment suites, a hammam, saunas, vitality pools, and an exclusive VIP area. The rooftop pool on the 11th floor is a real eye-catcher: urban resort feeling, skyline views, atmospheric sunsets, and quiet retreats amidst lush gardens. The fitness area is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, the Kids Club is lovingly designed, and the Club Lounge on the 36th floor is one of the most beautiful places in the hotel – ideal for quiet hours above the lights of the city.
Dubai has a new statement – and it's spectacular. The Mandarin Oriental Downtown Dubai rises almost 300 meters above the city, bringing fresh momentum to one of the world's most dynamic neighborhoods. Housed in the iconic Wasl Tower, whose twisted silhouette has long been regarded as a new architectural landmark, the hotel presents itself as an urban oasis for modern travelers, business stays, and design enthusiasts. The lobby on the 36th floor welcomes guests with warm, earthy tones, fine materials, and works of art that strike a perfect balance between Asian tradition and modern desert aesthetics. 259 rooms and suites offer interiors that combine Mandarin-style tranquility with clean, contemporary design. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase Dubai with views of the skyline, the sea, or the Wasl Tower itself, depending on the location—each room feels like its own elegant perspective on the city.
