Palazzo Versace Dubai Residences

Culture Village, Dubai. Palazzo Versace. Eight years to build, then on the auction block at half its first asking price.

Editorial entry · sources recorded · property confirmation pending

A fashion house's palace on Dubai Creek, eight years in the building. Begun in February 2007 and opened in November 2015, Palazzo Versace Dubai holds 215 hotel rooms and suites and 169 residences, every chair and curtain made by Versace for the building, in a neoclassical composition of courts, lagoon pools and gardens in Culture Village. It was the house's second Palazzo, after the Gold Coast in 2000; the Library holds the brand (LHL-004) and the hotel itself (LHL-H-576).

Since 2024 it has been for sale by auction, at falling prices. After its owner, Emirates PVD, ran into financial trouble, the resort was offered at about AED 1.4 billion, then around AED 1 billion, then AED 700 million, and most recently at a base bid of AED 600 million, per a research platform's successive headlines. The register records the sequence as published and makes no finding on its outcome.

The architect is Spatium in the encyclopaedia's infobox and PTW Architects at a research platform; the residences are one to six bedrooms in the opening report and two to three at a broker; the hotel has 214, 215 or 217 rooms, depending on the year of the source.

Who it is not for

Not for a buyer who needs a settled owner: the resort has been offered at auction repeatedly since 2024.

22.09.2026 · Research intake, run 6 — a museum as a brand, and a palace on the auction block

Mandarin Oriental Residences on Saadiyat, 226 furnished homes by Bjarke Ingels, came with two brokers' errors now on the card rather than in it: a residency claim placed in the wrong emirate, and a price of AED 0.00. Palazzo Versace Dubai took eight years to build and has been on the auction block since 2024, its asking price falling from about AED 1.4 billion to a base bid of AED 600 million. Saadiyat Grove, named in the same reports, is an AED 8 billion master community, not a development; it is declined with that reason, and its branded component, the Louvre residences, is held on its own.
