XVA Art Hotel

In the heart of Al Fahidi (Bastakiya) in Bur Dubai, a short walk from Dubai Museum, the Grand Mosque and the Creek. Close to Spice Souk, Gold Souk and Meena Bazaar and about 8.5 km from DXB—an ideal boutique base for culture-seekers and family-friendly stays.

Housed in a renovated majlis-style building with original wind towers and three open courtyards, XVA Art Hotel feels like a living gallery. About a dozen individually decorated guestrooms showcase regional artists and designers (Zayan Ghandour, Nada Debs, Karim Rashid and others) and include private balconies or patios, refrigerators/minibars, LCD TVs, premium bedding and complimentary toiletries.

Soak up the courtyard sun or stroll the terrace and garden. Recharge with yoga, massages and table tennis, rent a bicycle to explore the creek-side lanes, and rely on concierge, on-site shopping and shuttle services. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Features a business center, express check-in/out and a 100 m² (1,076 sq ft) meeting/conference space. Airport shuttle and parking are available for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café serve cooked-to-order breakfasts (7–11 AM for a fee), with room service during limited hours. Expect a menu that nods to local and regional flavors.
