History
Fairmont The Palm opened in December 2012 as a joint venture between IFA Hotels & Resorts (IFA HR) and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. IFA Hotels & Resorts spent $330 million on the development and performance of the hotel.[4]
Clive Ford from DSA Architects International was the chief architect on the project. The hotel's interior was designed by HHCP Design International, which is based in Florida. The hotel also has 3,000 m2 (32,000 sq ft) of meeting and function space including a ballroom, outdoor venues and a business center.[5] The hotel was built at a cost of 330 million USD,[5] and was opened on December 24, 2012.[1]
During the 2026 Israeli–United States strikes on Iran, the hotel was struck by debris from an intercepted drone[6] on 28 February, causing a fire.[7][8] According to Dubai's Media Office, four people were injured.[9]
