JW Marriott Marquis Dubai
Two 355-metre towers modeled on the date palm — the world's third-tallest hotel stacked 82 floors above Business Bay.

The towers were deliberately positioned on a seven-storey podium to frame views of Burj Khalifa, Business Bay, and the sea. The four-storey entrance lobby opens directly onto that waterway panorama, and 19 restaurants plus rooftop bars make it worth entering even without a room key.
What to look for
- The date palm silhouette — both towers share an identical profile drawn from that form
- The four-floor-high entrance lobby and its direct sightline over Business Bay
- The symmetrical twin placement on the podium, engineered to face Burj Khalifa
The hotel houses 19 restaurants and rooftop bars on site; the 1,000-seat banquet hall has its own independent entrance on the podium level.
