Destinations of the World News - September 01, 2017

With a high concentration of superlative five-star hotels and resorts, holidaying in the UAE is always an attractive proposition, and in the September edition we review some of Dubai’s finest luxury stays. Few hotels can compare to Palazzo Versace Dubai, a five-star temple dedicated to the maison's design manifesto and philosophy, with outstanding dining and opulence at every turn, while for discerning families, we review Marriott’s Polynesian-inspired Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts, a bona fide dream come true for kids. For those who can’t make up their mind what they desire from a hotel (nightclubs and pool parties? Spas and champagne bars?), there is certain to be something that appeals at the Al Habtoor City trio: The St. Regis Dubai, W Dubai Al Habtoor City, and The Westin Dubai, Al Habtoor City. Also in the issue, we visit Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s political, financial and administrative capital on the road to 2030, bring you a VIP guide to the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, and review Audi’s S5 Coupé, while Michelin-starred chef Virgilio Martínez shares his favourite haunts in Lima, Peru, for cerviche, cocktails and standout coffee.
