Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai

A contemporary take on Dubai luxury

Located in the shadow of Ain Dubai (the world’s largest observation wheel), Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai is the non-gaming cousin of the iconic Las Vegas brand. It redefines the idea of luxury, at least in the context of the UAE, from over-the-top, regal and fairytale-like to understatedly slick, sophisticated and cool.

Inside Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai, you’ll discover 194 lavish rooms and suites and some of the city’s finest dining and nightlife venues, including the noteworthy Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen. The art collection, by New York-based designer Jonathan Adler, tastefully fuses modern American glamour with the glory of ancient Rome in a nod to the original Vegas location.

With plenty of entertainment options, the hotel is as much about going on a fun island vacation as it is about getting away from it all — though you’re less than a 30-minute drive from Dubai’s top tourist attractions.

Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai is a few minutes’ drive from top attractions like Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach Residence. The latter is also connected to Bluewaters Island by a pedestrian bridge that can get you to The Beach on a leisurely 15-minute walk with breathtaking sea views.

Resort guests get complimentary access to the glamorous Mediterranean-inspired Cove Beach. This chic waterside club boasts a restaurant, lounge, pools and some of the best beachfront parties in Dubai.

Kids will love spending time at the Empire Club doing arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor games, campfire evenings and cooking classes. Teens can hang out at ROAM, a trendy spot with an arcade vibe, complete with air hockey, virtual reality games and cool organized activities such as scavenger hunts, Zumba classes, paddleboarding, beach volleyball and outdoor movie nights.

Get your workouts in at the Fitness Gallery, a 24-hour gym equipped with the latest Technogym equipment. If you prefer more guidance, yoga, meditation, high-intensity training, kickboxing and aqua fit classes are on offer.

If you’re looking for a bit of adventure, choose from an array of water sports like jet skiing, wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking.

The Rooms

The understated but luxurious design aesthetic continues in the contemporary rooms and suites. Gray and other neutral tones let subtle Roman-inspired touches (motifs on mirror frames, prints on cushions, and artwork) stand out.

Starting at 581 square feet, accommodations are spacious and offer views of the Arabian Gulf (as well as the gardens, resort and pool) from floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies.

Sleek bathrooms come with dual vanities, separate showers and high-backed bathtubs.

Complimentary butler services, including in-suite check-in, packing and unpacking, are available for all suite guests. A butler cabinet provides additional privacy and can be used to deliver or accept laundry discreetly and without disturbance.

The Restaurants

The most exciting restaurant here is the atmospheric Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen. Just like the Las Vegas original, expect theatrical live cooking and a fun vibe as you feast on dishes like beef Wellington and sticky toffee pudding.

Try authentic dim sum and hand-pulled noodles at pan-Asian restaurant Zhen Wei, where signature dishes include whole Beijing duck, Cantonese sea bass and kung pao lobster.

Find yourself in 1920s Cuba at the lively Havana Social Club, where a fun ambiance, live music, cocktails and a selection of Cuban cigars come together to channel the vibe of the island’s classic cabaret clubs.

Unwind with jazz, drinks and beautiful sea views at the elegant Laurel Bar. Upscale bites like foie gras torchon and steak tartare nicely complement sundowners and ocean breezes.

Discover an original take on an afternoon tea inspired by the legendary Caesar at the Roman Lounge. The Caesars Imperial Afternoon Tea menu features flavors from Central Europe to the Mediterranean. Lighter dishes, treats and shisha on the terrace also can be enjoyed at this sophisticated lounge.
