Raffles Dubaiput the world's most expensive dress on display last fall, and leave it to them to outdo themselves in a matter of months (who else could, really?).
This spring Raffles is introducing what they call the Middle East's most luxurious floor— a 21,500 square-foot "space" that takes up most of the 14th level of the hotel. That's right, a private floor with six rooms, a spa, hair salon, majlis (that's meeting room, in basic terms), three private kitchens and a cinema that seats nine. Damn! (but watch your language if you see it, ok?)

Not impressed, you snort? Pfft. Fine. How about access via a private elevator, 24-hour check in, a private limousine service and chauffeur, customized linens, a private chef, and a dedicated butler? Sound good? Sounds like another case of Dubai being as flossy as they wanna be. Don't hate!
"A lot of the hotel guests travel with a big entourage and sometimes book half a floor," a hotel employee has said. "The Dubai Floor is perfect for this type of guest as they'll have a whole floor for themselves and privacy. This what makes it unique."
Check out the photo gallery of the über luxurious floor. Are you impressed? Raffles thinks it's a nice spot for large families, newlyweds, and private screenings. Ohhkay.
Prices aren't yet available for this floor, but considering the current starting room rates at Raffles are around $1,295 a night, the full beauty of this floor will probably not be realized by short-pocket people.
Still, it looks good, though, huh? And eye-candy doesn't put pounds on your hips.
Here's an aerial view of the Raffles Dubai.
