Known for being one of the first African–American supermodels to break barriers in the beauty and fashion industries, Veronica Webb became a lifestyle expert through her journey as an evolving model, beauty & fitness enthusiast, mother and wife. Throughout the years, she has appeared on covers of top international fashion magazines, has worked with designers such as Azzedine Alaïa, Chanel, Kanye West, Isaac Mizrahi and more. In the 90’s Veronica Webb was known as one of ‘Gianni’s Girls’ a personal favourite model of the late iconic designer, so when the prospect to visit Palazzo Versace Dubai arisen, we knew who to invite…

Reminiscent of a 16th century Italian Palace, Palazzo Versace Dubai is a Neoclassical masterpiece with subtle traces of Arabian architecture. Featuring a striking entrance, high ceilings, landscaped gardens, and a range of well-crafted Italian furnishings, the hotel is truly symbolic of the Versace lifestyle.

Upon arrival via a Rolls-Royce, Mrs. Webb is welcomed by the striking ‘Pietra di Fiume’ design of the iconic Medusa and Greek décor. A walk through the 5-star hotel’s public spaces reveals to her several exclusive designs and fabrics from Versace, while the lagoon pools and reflection ponds complement the serenity of the lush gardens that surround the hotel – a true luxury retreat for leisure travellers.

Mrs. Webb detailed how every single piece of furniture and fabric that adorns the hotel’s 215 hotel rooms and suites, and 169 residences, is designed and tailor-made by Versace exclusively for the Palazzo Versace Hotel in Dubai. Each of the hotel’s 8 restaurants and bars is designed to have an al fresco terrace to reflect the heritage of Palazzos, where the internal court was the informal space to meet, dine and enjoy the weather. The three outdoor pools are decorated with mosaic tiles and surrounded by palm trees and flowers. The beautifully landscaped gardens and unobstructed views of the Dubai Creek and skyline, make this luxury hotel an ideal venue for weddings and social events in Dubai and on this occasion, a special birthday dinner for Veronica at the hotels Enigma restaurant. Enigma restaurant’s culinary tale features the ‘Taste of Persia’. Inspired by the Iranian origins of the Michelin starred Executive Chef Mansour Memarian, Veronica described the evening as ”a delightful authentic culinary story and journey.”

This was my first time in Dubai and I was very happy to finally be there. The hotel is a Versace dream, from the cushions to the furniture to the wellness spa. I thouroughly enjoyed my stay. To find my favourite flowers, red roses and my favourite champagne on arrival to a personalised birthday cake proved that the hotel service and attention to detail is truly world-class. I have found my home for future Dubai trip’s.
