But the magic doesn’t end there. Guests are invited to take home their personalized bag tag, a keepsake of their journey at Raffles Dubai. And here’s the cherry on top: bring back the bag tag on your next visit, and enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee as a token of appreciation from Raffles Dubai.

A Symbol of Hospitality
Inspired by the iconic Traveller’s Palm, Raffles Dubai’s symbol of hospitality, the Traveller’s Afternoon Tea pays homage to a tradition that dates back to 1925. Handcrafted by British pen master David Horiddge, the Traveller’s Palm represents a compass for travelers, guiding them back to a place of comfort and respite. Today, guests arriving at Raffles hotels are greeted by individuals wearing the Traveller’s Palm pin, a symbol of the warm welcome that awaits them.
A Sanctuary of Luxury
Set against the backdrop of Dubai’s bustling city life, Raffles Dubai stands as a testament to elegance and effortless grace. Its stunning architectural marvel seamlessly blends Egyptian aesthetic with sophisticated Asian style, offering guests the luxury of space, impeccable service, and a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of urban living.
