Palatial Arabian-style property offering chic rooms & suites, plus fine dining, a spa & a pool.

The Asado brunch at Palace Downtown is one of the most satisfying Friday rituals in the city - an Argentinian grill-led spread in a rooftop setting with direct views of the Burj Khalifa reflected in the lake. The food is the story here: whole roasted cuts, proper chimichurri, empanadas, and a live grill station that keeps producing through the afternoon. The wine and cocktail selection is serious, the pacing is leisurely, and the kitchen doesn't rush service to turn tables. Pricing is AED 350–500 per person depending on the drinks package, which places it in the mid-premium bracket for Dubai brunches. The Burj Khalifa views are extraordinary on a clear day and the pool-adjacent terrace makes it a genuine destination rather than a transaction. Book the lakeside tables when reserving - they make the difference. One of the most legitimately pleasurable brunch experiences in Downtown Dubai.
