SH Hotels & Resorts is primed to set a new standard of glamour and luxury in Dubai with the announcement of its upcoming Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai launch in 2026. The hotel is part of a new ultra-luxury mixed-use development in Downtown Dubai. Its twin tapering towers, designed by architectural firm Studio Libeskind, will combine a luxury hotel with full-service branded residences. The structures’ glimmering glass façades evoke the exquisite luminosity of the House of Baccarat, a name associated for over two centuries with timeless objets d’art collected by the rich and famous.
The hotel will feature 144 rooms and suites, along with 49 Baccarat-branded private residences, designed by the London-based design studio 1508 – known worldwide for its subtle and expressive reinterpretations of local vernacular design languages. Food and beverage offerings will include a formal dining room with indoor and outdoor seating, private dining rooms, a casual poolside bar, and a grand salon serving morning pastries, afternoon tea, and a drinks program into the evening. From its central location in the heart of Downtown Dubai, guests will enjoy convenient access to new and old Dubai, including iconic skyscrapers and the colourful cultural attractions of a venerable port city.
