XVA Art Hotel // Dubai

As I've been planning this next trip of mine and reflecting on what I want this blog to become, I thought it would be cool to look back at my first trip abroad to the UAE. While my mom was teaching there I got the chance to spend a couple weeks with her in Al Ain where she lived, as well as Adu Dhabi and Dubai. One of the coolest places we stayed was the XVA Art Hotel in Dubai.
Located in this historical district of Al Fahidi, the XVA hotel is comprised of 13 uniquely designed rooms with a curated collection of art specific to each. Other installations are on display throughout their three courtyards and award winning restaurant. The hotel also has a beautiful concept shop which stocks various lifestyle products, books, jewelry, and accessories created by brands from across the Middle East. To find about more about the XVA Art Hotel visit their site here.
