A Taj Hotel is now open in Jumeirah Lakes Towers Dubai

The five-star property is home to JLT’s first rooftop poolside bar on the 46th floor…

JLT has a new five-star hotel in its clusters and it’s set to become your new staycation spot. Taj Jumeirah Lakes Towers opened its doors on Sunday December 8, with a brilliant introductory offer to stay in one of its 200 rooms and suites.

Book before January 10 on the best available rate and you’ll also enjoy a daily buffet breakfast, a daily complimentary cocktail, early check-in and late check-out. You’ll also get 15 per cent off all three of the new dining outlets. There’s an Indian restaurant which has been exported straight out of Mumbai, as well as a laid-back bistro-café called TJ’s.

We’re most excited though, about the new Mediterranean rooftop restaurant, Paros, which is located on the 46th floor and set to open later this month. The poolside bar and restaurant is the first of its kind in JLT and the chic rooftop venue offers incredible views of the Dubai Marina skyline.

Shamiana, the new hotel’s Indian restaurant, hails from its Mumbai property, Taj Mahal Palace. The Dubai edition promises ‘a masterfully curated menu of authentic Indian cuisine with signature dishes from the world of Taj’. Sounds delicious.

TJ’s offers a more relaxed setting where you’ll find healthy breakfast bites, homemade pastries and bread, as well as freshly-brewed coffee. Dubbed a neighbourhood deli by day and after-work drinks spot by night, the cafe aims to attract JLT’s busy office crowd.

Taj already has a popular hotel in Business Bay, which includes famed food and beverage outlets open-air bar Treehouse, Asian concept Miss Tess and gastropub The Eloquent Elephant. The second Middle East hotel opening for the Indian brand is set to give the Dubai Marina and JLT areas a taste of the original Dubai concept on the other side of town.
