Three UAE Hotels Among Conde Nast Top 108

Antara’s Desert Island Resort & Spa has now made the Conde Nast Traveler Hot List twice. The resort, which is located in Al Gharbia on Sir Bani Yas Island, was also nominated in April 2009, only six months after opening. The island was previously the private retreat of the late founder and president of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Conde Nast Traveler praised the Ritz Carlton in Dubai for its dedicated butlers and concierge, and said its “Club Level’s 38 rooms on the fifth and sixth floors offer unbeatable service.”
