A Curated Lifestyle

A quintessential destination for both business and leisure, the residences offer a curated lifestyle in DIFC, with uncompromising attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Each home has ease of elegance and a sense of place, featuring open-plan layouts, high-end finishes, and a sleek style, complemented by exceptional hospitality services and impressive views stretching across Zabeel and Downtown.

Design and Finishes

Polished marble flooring, bronze-tinted mirrors, and timber furniture contrast with pops of colour to create a striking aesthetic that blends the familiar Waldorf brand with the lively, modern energy of DIFC.

A modern reinterpretation of an upscale 1960s Manhattan apartment, dark wooden textures contrast beautifully with light velvet fabrics inside the two-bedroom residences while bespoke lighting fixtures such as brass and glossy black light installations cast a warm glow throughout.
