A new, and Swiss-inspired kid on the blocks of Dubai’s fast-evolving Business Bay, is a gem that without a shadow of a doubt, takes its guests from the desert dunes of the Middle East to the cool mountainous regions of Switzerland – except without having to leave the city. Revier Dubai exudes youthfulness, vibrance, and cozy appeal, tuning one’s senses to a spirit of adventure, juxtaposed with a determined need for connectivity in one of the most innovative cities in the world. Travel Essence Magazine had the opportunity to experience this property, and there were many takeaways to have us looking forward to our return…

A stay in Dubai denotes multicultural experiences that elevate shared ideas and a celebration of life. Everything is fast and exuberant, and so when a new hotel welcomes its first guests, there is a challenge to explore the offering, perhaps creating memories beyond the rudimentary chat over a coffee or a cocktail. Revier Dubai, recently opened, conveniently located a stone throw away from Dubai Canal, and a short drive from landmarks Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa, is a place where you will instinctively feel good from the moment you check-in. Friendly engaging staff usher you into a space reminiscent of a luxurious mountain lodge or log cabin, except you are in the city, where rolling sand dunes form its periphery.
