SH Hotels & Resorts, the hotel brand management company founded by hospitality visionary Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group, today announced plans to open the Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai in 2026. The hotel is part of a new ultra-luxury mixed-use development in Downtown Dubai, facing the famed Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
The property’s twin tapering towers, designed by world-renowned architectural firm Studio Libeskind, will combine a best-in-class luxury hotel with full-service branded residences. The structures’ glimmering glass facades–reflective of desert sand, sea, and sun–evoke the exquisite luminosity of the House of Baccarat, a name associated for over two centuries with timeless objets d’art collected by kings, queens, maharajas, film and rock stars.
