Two of the most sought-after facial treatments are the Diamond Cocoon facials by Natura Biss&eacute;, and the Gold and Diamond masks by Knesko.

The Diamond Radiance facial is powerful for brightening, hydrating and age-defying while the Nano Gold facial is effective for repairing, firming and reducing redness.

Le Cirque, the French flagship outlet of the property, offers an unparalleled array of world-class gastronomic experiences during their lunchtime and dinner services.

Sunken Garden is a secret sanctuary where guests can enjoy modern Arabic Tapas while watching their favourite sports games, and the venue also boasts a hidden secret &ndash; an exclusive passageway to the DIFC&rsquo;s glamorous Gate Avenue. It&rsquo;s worst-kept secret though is that it is home to the best Shishas in Dubai!

Caf&eacute; Belge, set in the golden era of 1920s Brussels, offers many happenings from Brunch to Ladies Nights and business lunches while Cake, open 24 hours a day, is perfect for guests who are seeking a late-night dinner, early breakfast or a hearty lunch.

For a truly memorable experience, they should experience the venue&rsquo;s famous night brunch, winner at the What&rsquo;s On Nightlife Awards 2019.
