Jumeirah Beach Residence: A Prime Location
The Rixos Premium Dubai JBR enjoys a privileged position at the heart of Jumeirah Beach Residence, a spot renowned for its dynamism within Dubai Marina. Located directly on The Walk at JBR, this boulevard perfectly illustrates urban life with its modern restaurants, luxury shops, and bustling cafes, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a cosmopolitan and vibrant setting. A real asset, the hotel offers visitors the unique opportunity to enjoy a beautiful walk along the beach, a rather rare experience in Dubai.
This prestigious 35-story establishment proudly stands facing the Arabian Gulf, offering breathtaking views of the giant Ain Dubai Ferris wheel. Just steps away, Jumeirah Beach stretches its white sands and turquoise waters, ideal for sun lovers and water sports enthusiasts. The Rixos Premium Dubai is thus the perfect place for those looking to combine urban exploration and seaside relaxation in the vibrant metropolis of Dubai.
Iconic Architecture and Urban Luxury
Rixos Premium Dubai JBR embodies a sophisticated fusion of style and modernity, making it a distinctive landmark in the Dubai Marina skyline. Its twin towers, designed by Melkan Tabanlioglu of the renowned Turkish firm Tabanlioglu Architects, feature faceted and shiny facades that catch the eye, reflecting the ultra-modernity of this architectural gem. From the entrance, the vast vaulted-ceiling lobby evokes the ambiance of a luxurious shopping center rather than that of a hotel, with its refined restaurants lining the central aisle discreetly leading to the reception counter.
Launched in 2017, this luxury hotel has quickly established itself as an attractive hub for a young and affluent clientele, offering spaces where social effervescence coexists with havens of tranquility. With facilities designed to satisfy both couples seeking a romantic getaway and families and professionals, Rixos Premium Dubai JBR is a luxury sanctuary promising an unforgettable experience in the heart of Dubai.
Between Sky and Sea in My Premium Suite
The 414 rooms and suites at Rixos Premium Dubai JBR are designed to maximize the impressive panoramic views the establishment has to offer. Spacious and flooded with natural light thanks to large bay windows, the rooms combine modernity with traditional elements. The interiors adopt a minimalist style with a soothing color palette ranging from neutrals to vibrant blues and golden touches, evoking contemporary elegance. Each room is an ode to luxury with golden and rose-tinted glass lanterns hanging, reminiscent of the rich heritage of Turkish bazaars, and accents of precious stones that add an exotic touch to the ambiance.
I had the opportunity to stay three nights in a one-bedroom Premium suite, which ranges in size from 84 to 94 m². Equipped with a spacious living room and an en-suite bathroom, the suite was perfect for watching the sunset behind Ain Dubai or marveling at the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf. Each evening, my suite offered a dazzling panorama, turning each sunset into a spectacular moment. At Rixos Premium Dubai JBR, the rooms and suites are true havens of luxurious and tranquil retreats offering an ideal escape from the incessant dynamism of Dubai.

For a touch of the Mediterranean, Ammos brings the flavors of Greece to Dubai, offering an immersion in Greek cuisine and hospitality.

The Godiva Café adds a sweet note with its Belgian chocolate creations, in an elegant setting accompanied by live piano and harp music. For burger enthusiasts, Black Tap offers artisan burgers and creative shakes. Finally, Lock, Stock & Barrel, a nightlife hotspot in JBR, provides a festive atmosphere with live music, live sports broadcasts, and international cuisine in a relaxed and industrial setting.
Relaxation at Naturelife Spa
The Naturelife Spa, inspired by Turkish wellness traditions, represents a true oasis of tranquility within the hotel. The luxurious facilities invite guests to live an unforgettable spa experience. Each treatment room, including the exclusive couple's suite, is thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort and relaxation. With a range of signature treatments, including Balinese, Thai, Swedish, and aromatherapy massages, each visit promises a complete escape from the daily tumult that we unfortunately did not have the opportunity to test.
Entertainment and Relaxation
