Dubai Hotels and Resorts - Dubai is the quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping. A century ago, it was a tranquil town whose coral-and-gypsum huts housed Bedouin traders and pearl divers. Today the merchants have gone international and science-fiction skyscrapers stand alongside the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai.

The audacity of the city's rulers is breathtaking. Running out of coastline to build hotels? Build vast artificial islands with 120km (74.5mi) of new beachfront. Need better connections with the world? Build up an award-winning international airline in 15 years.

Need some publicity? Stage the world's richest horse race, million-dollar lotteries, international tennis and golf tournaments, and a month-long shopping festival. Need a few landmarks for people to recognise? Up goes the world's tallest and most lavish hotel, perched on an artificial platform, and a city skyline to boggle the eye.

Restaurant   Issimo Martini Bar Never has a drink been so associated with class and style as the Martini. From London to Manhattan, Martini is the perennial classic and, in Dubai, Issimo Martini Bar in the Hilton Dubai Creek is the city's most cosmopolitan venue. Whether your preference is for shaken, stirred or flavoured, Issimo Martini Bar is the place to enjoy the best Martinis in the city. Well known to be HRH Prince Charles' favourite tipple, the classic Martini has come of age and now comes in many colours and flavours - try a Dirty Martini, flavoured with olive juice, a Pink Bombay, iced gin and Cointreau with a hint of pink grapefruit or sip Sarah Jessica Parker's favourite, the Cosmopolitan at Issimo. Martinis should never be sipped in silence and there is no better accompaniment than live music with changing DJ's bringing you the best from Jazz to soulful house at this stylish venue. Verre by Gordon Ramsay Verre by Gordon Ramsay is the hotel's signature restaurant and the three star Michelin chef's only restaurant outside the UK.

Gordon Ramsay has personally overseen every step of the development of Verre, from concept to launch. He has tasted every sauce and finalised every ingredient, and no expense has been spared to create a working environment for the most gifted and creative of chefs. Verre's cuisine has the lightness of touch that has become Ramsay's hallmark, and guests are already taken with the truly contemporary fine dining experience provided.
