Set in theheart of the Culture Village, less than 15 minutes away from Dubai
International Airport and 8 minutes away from Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai,
Palazzo Versace Dubai is conveniently located along the shores of the historic Dubai
Creek. On arrival one is welcomed by the striking Pietra di Fiume design of the iconic
Medusa and Greek dcor. Every single piece of furniture and fabric that adorns the

by the House of Versace exclusively for the Palazzo Versace Dubai. The beautifully
landscaped gardens and unobstructed views of the Dubai Creek and skyline make this
