Hotel Lobby at The Retreat Palm Dubai by Victor Romero

The Retreat Palm Dubai, MGallery UAE

The Retreat Palm Dubai – MGallery by Sofitel, to give the hotel its full name, is the first MGallery property in the Middle East. Described as “…the first 360-degree holistic wellbeing resort in the Middle East”, it may explain why the lobby looks like a modern hospital. It is located on the East Crescent of The Palm Jumeirah and the 255 room (and suite) property has four dining venues, with food and drink made from organic local products, as well as a spa and a fitness centre and gym. The hotel also contains two modern conference rooms, with complimentary wifi access.
