Hotel Boulevard, Autograph Collection

A hotel on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard that deliberately refuses to be a skyscraper, which in Dubai counts as a design statement. The mid-rise layout feels almost village-like, with rooms facing gardens and a pool rather than an infinity edge and the void. Quiet, comfortable, and tasteful without trying too hard, the Michelin Guide Selected Hotels pick also runs a casual food truck out of a vintage Airstream, which is either charming or incongruous depending on your mood.
