Elevated as if to emphasise its splendour, Al Qasr is the dazzling 'palace' at the heart of Madinat Jumeirah, a super-luxurious resort and one of Dubai's most prestigious destinations. It even has its own canal system where guests are ferried around on motorised abra taxi-boats. It's a breathtaking sight. Approached by a ceremonial causeway, this majestic white-washed hotel designed to look like a sheikh's summer residence - offers 292 exquisite guest rooms and suites with private balconies, set in extensive gardens and close to a private beach. Tasteful décor includes antique furniture, richly-coloured soft furnishings and luxury linens. The resort as a whole has over 45 restaurants, bars and lounges - no one can complain of a lack of choice - and all feature wide terraces for dining in the Gulf sun. Al Qasr itself, however, houses Al Hambra serving Spanish dishes, and the Arboretum, which has an Arabian menu. The resort's rather grand Talise Spa has its own restaurant - Magnolia - serving very good vegetarian (mostly organic) dishes in a soothing garden setting.
