La Ville Hotel & Suites

You’ll feel like a VIP the moment you step inside this gorgeous boutique hotel, but prepare to be really wowed when you head up to the rooftop infinity pool, which overlooks the Burj Khalifa – it seriously feels like you could swim right off the edge. It’s a small pool, with just a smattering of sun loungers, which makes it the ideal spot for a peaceful paddle. Be sure to stick around for sundowners at the poolside bar, Look Up.
