Design Take: Inside the Royal Suite at Jumeirah Al Naseem

As you head past the lobby and to the elevators that lead to the Royal Suite, you are welcomed by striking artworks that tell Dubai’s story from galloping horses to royal calligraphy. Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej was commissioned to create four signature installations for the hotel, including the stainless-steel sculpture of a camel caravan that appears to glide across water at the entrance. He is also the artist behind the iconic calligraphic façade of the Museum of the Future. This sets the precursor for the experience that is about to unfold. South Africa-based architecture firm Northpoint collaborated with designers from Woods Bagot’s Dubai studio on the build and development of the resort, while celebrated architect and landscape designer, Bill Bensley designed the lush gardens and landscaping.

As you enter the royal suite, a sense of awe sets in immediately. Think lavish grandeur with rich tones of blue, gold and red with Arabesque touches as soon as you enter through to the main living area. The interiors are characterised by traditional patterns and rich furnishings, with mashrabiya screens serving as a prominent design element.

Two separate entrances flow into a central living room furnished for both elegance and ease, inviting a setting for relaxed social gatherings or intimate family moments.  Beautiful artisanal tables with marquetry lie near the bookcase filled with notable coffee table books. Overhead, a burnished gold chandelier hangs. And ahead, all you can see is a sea of blue and the Burj Al Arab. The living space also feature a study. The adjoining dining area with seating for twelve, is perfectly suited for formal dinners or casual meals served directly from the suite’s private kitchen. Just beyond, a vast outdoor terrace and dedicated dining patio offer uninterrupted views of the resort, the gardens and sea views.

Every detail from the plush furnishings to panoramic views has been curated to create a residential experience.
