Of course there is also Peacock Alley, the elegant bar that offers a hub for informal gatherings but with a sophisticated edge – it’s a constant throughout Waldorf Astoria hotels globally, and comes from the term that was coined to portray the daily promenade of people through the original colonnade connecting The Waldorf and The Astoria hotels in New York City.
Within the Waldorf Astoria Spa – which is located on the 18th floor – guests can indulge in treatments and try facilities such as a floatation tank, hydrobath, hammam and Vichy shower.
Consuming 18th to 55th floors of the Burj Daman (located on Dubai’s Happiness Street) the venue has incredible views of downtown Dubai, and is a stone’s throw away from some of the key attractions in that part of the emirate such as the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountains.
