Located on the popular Palm West Beach, the Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah offers an escape for couples, families, friends, and solo travellers. The hotel serves up stunning sunset views, a temperature-controlled pool, event spaces, a tranquil spa, and much more. Featuring 608 guest rooms and suites along with 10 culinary concepts, the Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah is a notable addition to the world-famous palm-shaped island and promises guests a popular beachfront resort experience.
The hotel is home to several new dining concepts unique to the property. Zing Beach Bar offers refreshing craft drinks and a wide selection of light bites at the water’s edge. SocialBee features a delightful menu designed around locally-sourced honey, providing a cool, calm, and connected dining experience. Mowsem, the hotel’s all-day dining destination, serves an array of global cuisine, while Australian Jones the Grocer, located on the beach and a favourite among residents, is a breakfast spot for fresh and delicious artisan food.
Factory by McGettigan’s is the neighborhood hangout with its Irish charm, artful drinks, sharing plates, and an ever-changing line-up of live entertainment. CLAW BBQ serves up Southern U.S. hospitality with mouth-watering must-have grills, seafood, shakes, and retro arcade games in a fun and vibrant setting.
