Rooted in artistry and unparalleled craftsmanship, the property draws inspiration from Baccarat’s iconic crystal heritage, while the breathtaking setting in Downtown Dubai will complement its regal elegance.”
The development includes both hotel rooms and branded residences. Hotel accommodations will range from Classic King and Queen rooms to suites, while the residential component will offer two-to-four-bedroom furnished apartments and four penthouses.
Shamal Holding is developing the project in collaboration with H&H Development and SH Hotels & Resorts, the operator of Baccarat Hotels & Resorts. Studio Libeskind is responsible for the architectural design, with interiors by 1508 London.
