The glittering city of superlatives is set to roll out the red carpet in January for the opening of the Paramount Hotel Dubai, the first for the brand in the Middle East. 

Film buffs will appreciate the hotel's nod to American cinema. The tower's 823 rooms are grouped under three themes: Scene and Stage Guest Rooms; Premiere Suites; and Paramount Suites, all of which take inspiration from Paramount Pictures movies. 

Guests can recreate moments in cinematic history with stays in "Godfather," "Gatsby" and Carol Lombard-themed suites. 

The mixed-use development project also features 1,140 serviced residences. 

Amenities include the private movie theater, "Paramount Screening Room," a stage for live acts, fitness centers and swimming pools. 

Dining options are distinctly Californian, with Pacific Groove serving up grilled seafood, woodfired steaks, fresh salads and a raw bar. 

The hotel speakeasy, Flashback, steps back to old Hollywood with classic movie posters and craft cocktails. 

Overall, the hotel will feature a dozen restaurants and bars.
