Dubai keeps growing, and its hotel scene is heading into a very exciting few years. Between 2025 and 2028, several big new 5-star hotels are planned. These properties promise grand lobbies, destination restaurants, rooftop bars, private residences and luxe spas. If you want the latest confirmed details, check the hotel brand’s official pages and major booking sites like Booking.com.
Hotels to watch
- Mandarin Oriental Downtown (Wasl Tower) — planned to open in October 2025 and expected to offer wide city views and refined service. See the brand page at Mandarin Oriental.
- Baccarat Hotel — known for its crystal-inspired design and elegant dining, this name is likely to create a glamorous city destination.
- Aman Dubai — a wellness-focused resort planned near Jumeirah; Aman properties usually emphasize quiet, private experiences. Learn about Aman at Aman.
- Kempinski floating resort (concepts) — reports and industry roundups mention striking concepts like floating palaces and other novelty hotels planned for Dubai.
What to expect
New hotels often launch with headline restaurants and bars that attract locals as well as guests. Expect immersive spas, Instagram-ready rooftop spots, and family-friendly suites alongside premium private residences. Opening-season prices are often higher, if you want to try a new place without the steep launch rates, wait a few months or watch for introductory offers.
Booking tips
- Always confirm opening dates on the official hotel site before booking.
- Sign up for newsletters to get presale offers and early access.
- If you want the best room types, book as soon as official sales go live, popular suites can sell out fast.
