We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Over on Palm Jumeirah, The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm brings the sophisticated glamour of New York’s Gilded Age to one of Dubai’s most exciting neighborhoods for visitors. The hotel’s Iridium Spa, which sits on the second floor of the 52-story Palm Tower, does the same, enveloping you in lavish surroundings and gold-inspired treatments.

You’ll find six luxurious treatment suites and a curated menu that focuses on relieving stress, restoring energy and pampering your body. Quiet relaxation lounges (separate for men and women), tastefully decorated in ivory, beige and gold, offer the perfect excuse to savor your spa session for a little longer and relax with tea and dates after your service.

Our Inspector's Highlights

At Iridium Spa, treatments employ top-quality products from renowned skincare and wellness brands. These include AMRA Skincare, which sources ingredients responsibly and sustainably, and French family-owned brand Sothys, which uses natural active ingredients inspired by the Sothys Gardens in Auriac, France.
If you seek to calm your mind, consider the 60-minute sound healing session, where Tibetan singing bowls help align your energy fields through soothing sounds and vibrations.
For a treatment that encompasses the face, body and mind, try The 400. Inspired by the refined tastes of Caroline Astor, known to be highly influential in late 19th century New York society, this 180-minute session involves a granita body scrub, a relaxing full-body massage and a restoring facial.
For that extra bit of indulgence, upgrade any massage with luxurious add-ons such as a toning, firming and hydrating 24-karat gold hand and arm ritual; moisturizing shea butter body application; or a rejuvenating 24-karat gold hair mask. The spiritual-minded can add a 15-minute energy and aura cleansing to any session at an additional cost.
Arrive a little early to make use of the sauna and steam room. The Dubai spa also offers a dedicated manicure station for those who want to get their nails done.

The Treatments

Using AMRA Iridium hot stones to relax sore muscles and relieve stiffness and nourishing body oil, the Hot Stone Serenity Massage is an excellent cure for jet lag.
Feel brand new with the intensely cleansing Caviar Body Ritual that employs the AMRA Rarity body soap made with potent ingredients such as pearl, caviar, gold, diamond, platinum, stem cell orchid, ruby, sapphire and meteorite. Afterward, enjoy the hydrating effect of Rarity body oil on your skin.
During a Sensual Elevation treatment, find all stress disappearing as a terracotta stone applies warm enzymatic exfoliating syrup to your body, followed by an amber oil massage. Finish with stretches to improve movement.
For a rejuvenating treat for the skin, try the 90-minute Illuminate and Lift facial that involves a plumping massage, a firming bio-cellulose mask and a repairing rose stem cells and porcelain flower oil.
