Art-Focused Accommodations

XVA Art Hotel offers 15 individually designed rooms and suites, each featuring artwork from regional artists. All accommodations include en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fans, minibars, safes, robes, and slippers. Some rooms offer inner courtyard views with traditional wind towers that function as natural air-conditioning systems.

Vegetarian Cafe Dining

XVA Café serves freshly-prepared vegetarian and vegan cuisine daily from 7am to 9pm, including main courses with salads, soups, and desserts. The set breakfast features labneh, ful medames, fruit, and flat breads. Room service is available from the café, and guests can enjoy signature mint lemonade in the traditional courtyard setting.

Gallery and Cultural Programming

The hotel features XVA Gallery showcasing contemporary Arab artwork and hosts Art History lectures by Dr. Michaela Watrelot. The property includes three historical wind towers, two courtyards with gnarled old trees decorated with dried roses, and a boutique shop selling handmade homeware, jewelry, and clothing by local artisans.

Al Fahidi Historical Location

Located in Dubai's oldest area, Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, the hotel is surrounded by traditional Persian architecture and maze-like alleyways. Nearby landmarks include Dubai Museum (0.5 km), Museum of Illusions (0.5 km), Meena Bazaar (0.5 km), and Bur Dubai Abra Dock (2 km). The area features numerous authentic ethnic eateries.

Event Services and Accessibility

XVA provides event planning services for private parties, wedding receptions, and corporate events in its historical courtyards. The Agal Room and adjacent courtyard offer wheelchair access and assistance for hearing and visually impaired guests. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, and the hotel has hosted events for Hermes, Chanel, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton.

“Nestled in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, this boutique hotel offers an immersive experience, far removed from Dubai's modern skyline. The unique blend of art and historical architecture impressed me, especially the quiet courtyards and individually designed rooms. Its award-winning vegetarian café stands out, making it a culinary destination in itself.”
