Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)

Within the Dubai International Financial Centre, this Four Seasons has a rooftop lounge where pan-Asian plates are served alongside spectacular skyline views, as well as a buzzy brasserie with a terrace. Head up to the pool for golden sunsets with Middle Eastern meze and creative cocktails. For the definitive Dubai view, go for a suite overlooking the Burj Khalifa – though even the treadmills in the gym are positioned to showcase the city (and its dazzling, sun-baked beaches).
