When it first opened its doors in 2005, the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi instantly redefined luxury in the Middle East. Commissioned by the UAE government and initially managed by Kempinski Hotels, the landmark was conceived not merely as a resort, but as a symbol of the nation’s prosperity and cultural pride. Built at a reported cost of $3 billion, it has since become one of the world’s most iconic hotels.
