The Address Burj Dubai shares part of its name with the most renowned seven-star in the city, yet this diminutive five-star barely commands a share of the attention. <br /><br />Dubai's best kept secret launched last October, an intimate affair of just 196 rooms, and it's been keeping those in the know thoroughly satisfied ever since. Despite its location in the heart of Dubai, it maintains a peaceful serenity. Its five restaurants are small yet perfectly poised to capture the culinary tastes of a worldwide audience. The most notable of these is the picturesque Kurat which offers a cosy "living room" feel. Afternoon tea Arabic style involves sandwiches, scones and handpicked teas, without attracting the attention that the larger hotels draw in. Meanwhile the cigar room offers an impressive range of smoking choices from across South America. Shopaholics will be delighted to learn that the 1200-store Dubai Mall is just next door, and directly accessible from the hotel. It sports the largest gold souk in any mall of the world, and an array of designer goods. Its biggest attraction is undoubtedly the central location �" with so many hotels catering to luxury travel, it could be easy to overlook this city's best kept secret, but to do so would be a shame indeed.<br />
The Room
The décor offers crisp minimalist chic, with colour schemes reflecting sandy Arabian landscapes. Rooms are spacious, comfortable yet invitingly modest. Sumptuous bed linen is 400-thread Egyptian cotton. Amenities in room include an IPod charging deck, Acqua di Parma toiletries in the bathrooms, large flat screen TVs and of course 24-hour room service. A personal fashion adviser can be booked, adhering perfectly to the hotel’s shopping theme and reflecting guests’ obsessions with the latest trends. The closest Dubai has ever come to a British-style country inn, hospitality is certainly not lacking. The best part of this hotel lies in its status as an undiscovered secret �" get there before the rest of the in-crowd catch up.
