Dubai's best first line luxury hotels
Burj al arab jumeirah
Hotel rating Dubai: 4.9
There are a number of hotels in the world, which it is high time to assign the status of '6 stars'. Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is one of them. This hotel is located inside a world famous building that looks like a sail of a yacht. This hotel offers superb sea views, whichever room you stay in. It's funny that you don't need to leave the building to shop – here you will find grocery stores and a full-fledged shopping center.
At the time of this writing, this is the world's tallest hotel. The builders built it directly into the sea, creating an artificial island for this. To the coast – about 280 m. Of course, you can come here by your own car – the island is connected to the land by a bridge. It should be noted that the building is not located in Dubai itself, but 15 km south of this city. However, this is unlikely to create any problems – getting to the hotel is not difficult.
Rooms are located on 28 floors of this building. Moreover, all rooms are two-story! Nothing like this can be offered by any hotel in Egypt, Turkey or many other countries, unless we talk about living in a separate villa. Each room includes a hairdryer, air conditioning, bathroom amenities, telephone with voicemail, satellite TV, computer, printer, minibar, multimedia system and safe. There is also a video surveillance system. It allows you to know in advance who is knocking on your door. As for the bathroom, you will definitely find a jacuzzi in it, which is also good news.
All numbers are conventionally divided into six groups. It seems that readers can only afford to stay in a deluxe room. However, even this number will amaze you if before that you only rested in Greece, Tunisia and other similar countries. The total area of such a room is 169 sq. m. This already exceeds the performance of many villas. On two floors, you can find a living room with a large dining table, a bar counter, a toilet, a business center (a corner with the same computer, printer and fax machine), a dressing room, a bathroom with the already mentioned Jacuzzi and a bedroom with a huge bed.
Other room types are even larger. Many of them have floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows. Some of the rooms here are so large that two families can easily live in them. They have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living rooms. Surprisingly, there is only one toilet. Well, the maximum chic available at the Burj Al Arab awaits you in the royal suite. This apartment is located on the 25th floor and covers an area of 780 sq. m. This is the only one-story room – the royal person cannot move up the stairs with her hands. It makes no sense to talk about these apartments in detail, you need to see them. Let's just say that they include a cinema and a meeting room. The entire interior is made in the Arabian style.
Curiously, hotel guests do not need to go downstairs to ask the staff for help. The corresponding service is on every floor! At the same time, they can communicate with you in any language of the world, including Russian.
There are no nutritional problems here. Moreover, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is the case when taste sensations will be competently mixed with visual ones. The fact is that you can eat at the Seventh Heaven restaurant, which is so named for a reason – it is located at a height of 200 meters! You can also visit the Al Mahara restaurant, located in the depths of the bay – it takes only three minutes to get there, but you need to do this by submarine. There are also other restaurants with a gorgeous view of the sea.
Such a hotel could not do without its own beaches. There are three of them, all beach accessories are provided free of charge. There are also three swimming pools on the territory of the hotel. And also guests of the hotel can visit Wild Wadi water park for free, the passage to which is carried out along an artificial embankment.
You can still list for a very long time what exactly Burj Al Arab offers its guests. But in this case, the article would be devoted to only one hotel. But it is necessary to tell about other hotels included in our rating, they also deserve laudatory words.

Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach
Rating (Dubai): 4.8
Another five-star hotel in our ranking. However, can you find a lower class hotel in Dubai? This hotel also belongs to the first line. This means that visiting the beach will not cause any problems – it is located a couple of hundred meters from the building.
A distinctive feature of this representative of our collection is its location. It is built in the prestigious residential area of Jumeirah. Only the richest people in the Middle East live here. It is not for nothing that the area is called an analogue of Beverly Hills. It is also the closest hotel to downtown Dubai with a private beach. The Dubai Mall is located not far from the hotel with 1200 shops. The world famous Burj Khalifa skyscraper also rises nearby. The airport is just 25 minutes away.
Dubai hotels do not always have a huge number of rooms. The variant considered above offered only a hundred and a half numbers, here there are 237 of them. All of them are divided into 11 types. Of course, the hotel has a royal suite. Their area reaches 600 sq. m. But premier and deluxe rooms with an area of 70 sq. m. Against the background of a hotel on an artificial island, this figure seems negligible. But now compare it with some room in a Turkish hotel, often with an area of 28-35 square meters. m!
Each room at this hotel has a minibar, safe, air conditioning, TV with satellite channels and other familiar amenities. As for the infrastructure of the hotel, it includes a very large parking lot, a conference room that can also be used for celebrations, and a 24-hour reception.
In fact, this hotel is unlikely to surprise you with anything. Here food à la carte is used, which will even spoil the experience for someone. Have Dubaians ever heard of the buffet? With so many guests, I would like to see him. As for entertainment, you can do water sports and tennis. There is also a fairly large pool in which it is recommended to be quiet. Well, the gym will keep your muscles in good shape. Girls will also appreciate the spa center. But we must not forget that his services are paid. So is the babysitting service which is also available here. And for children of a little older age there is a play club.
Four Seasons Hotel, located in Dubai, offers car rental, luggage storage, airport transfers, laundry and some other services. There are no complaints about the beach either. It has a huge number of sun loungers and umbrellas. This is not surprising, since the staff does not need to regularly remove them from the beach – there are practically no rains and storms here. On the beach, by the way, you can rent a banana or even a jet ski. You can also play beach volleyball here. You can enter the sea both from the sand and from the pontoon.

The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai
Rating (Dubai): 4.8
This five-star hotel is also located in the Jumeirah. This means that exquisite interiors and staff are waiting for you in every possible way to please you. Also, the hotel can boast that there are various shops and restaurants just a stone's throw from it. At the same time, hotel accommodation is not particularly expensive. At least by Dubai standards. A tour to the UAE with accommodation in The Ritz-Carlton is estimated at 250 thousand rubles. during the week. Of course, in this case we are talking about checking into a deluxe room – the simplest one available, with an area of only 50 sq. m. However, even here can easily accommodate two adults and two children, whose age does not exceed 12 years. The disadvantage of a relatively inexpensive room is the fact that it will not have a sea view.
Of course, there are also more spacious rooms here. Their area is at least twice as large. However, even in this case, the hotel does not allow more people to live in them. Only three adults are allowed to live in the ritz-carlton suite. And despite the fact that the area of such a room has been increased to 190 sq. m! There is already not only a bathroom, but also a sauna, jacuzzi and steam room! The dining area with the kitchen has not been forgotten either. By the way, if we talk about food, then you can arrange accommodation with breakfast or half-board. The latter includes breakfasts and dinners; in this case, only lunches will require money. But practice shows that during the day, hotel guests are outside.
In total, this hotel includes 138 rooms. Each has a satellite TV, safe, bar, individually controlled air conditioning, iron and ironing board, bath amenities, heated mirrors and a telephone. Rooms are cleaned and bed linen changed twice a day – this is often not offered by other hotels!
Of course, there are several food outlets on site. One restaurant serves Italian cuisine. The second one prepares Mediterranean cuisine – this restaurant should be found by the pool. The hotel also has a lobby lounge – an area where you can enjoy European cuisine and all kinds of royal sweets. A small restaurant with Arabic cuisine has not been forgotten, because you are in the UAE. There is also a bar here, but you will have to forget about alcoholic drinks – again, you are in the UAE.
The Ritz-Carlton Dubai is a good place to check in with children. The restaurant will definitely offer you a children's menu. The hotel is also capable of boasting a mini-club where children from 4 to 12 years old have fun. The children's pool is also important, the guys want to splash around. without fear of great depth. There is also a playground here. Every day there are entertainment programs that any child should also like.
If we talk about entertainment for adults, then there are even more of them. Women can do aerobics or go to the fitness center. Couples can go to one of the four tennis courts. Arabs can be regularly seen on two squash courts, the rules of which are completely unknown to most Russians. There are also three swimming pools here. All kinds of water sports are available to visitors, many of which are offered to be engaged in the sea. Of course, the hotel has its own beach. It is ideally equipped, a sun lounger and an umbrella should go to everyone who lives in this hotel.
The service of this hotel is not limited to transfers from and to the airport. They will clean your shoes, exchange currency, have a nice haircut, wash your clothes and offer many other services, including car rental or even an invitation to the butler's room. By the way, you can get to the center of Dubai without a car – a comfortable bus runs to there regularly.

Our rating is still increasing. Each subsequent hotel has an increasing capacity. The five-star THE WESTIN DUBAI MINA SEYAHI BEACH RESORT & MARINA already consists of 294 rooms.

The room rate includes exclusively continental breakfasts, which are offered in the buffet. Meals in the restaurant are already on the menu, for some money.

Well, the wine bar can be called a distinctive feature of the hotel. He has a huge collection of wines. There is even a special tasting room where you can taste rare types of wines and cheeses.
We do not recommend spending your time only on rest and food. It is imperative to expend your calories while having fun in the gym or outdoor pool. The hotel offers tennis, volleyball and water sports. Women can also visit the spa for rejuvenating and beauty treatments.
Of course, you shouldn't forget about the beach either. It is just 50 meters from the hotel. Sun loungers and umbrellas should go to absolutely all of its visitors.

Rixos Premium Dubai JBR

Another five-star hotel in our rating. This hotel also has its own beach. Its length is 400 m, so there will be enough space for most of the visitors. Problems can arise only if all residents decide to sunbathe, because the hotel includes as many as 443 rooms. But it is quite difficult to imagine such a situation, usually many hotel guests spend time in Dubai itself.
The hotel belongs to the resort type. This means that theoretically you can not leave its territory at all – here you will find everything you need. All rooms are located in a huge 35-storey building, which opened its doors in May 2017. Near the hotel there are the largest shopping centers, which are also a must-see. From the windows of the hotel you can see The Dubai Eye – the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, one of the main attractions of the city. As for the international airport, it is about 21 km away.

In the pool itself, you can swim both in the traditional way and on a mattress. There are no complaints about the beach of this hotel either. As you know, Dubai grew up in the desert, so it comes as no surprise that the beach is sandy. The entrance to the sea is similar.
It remains to add that Russian tour operators do not yet offer tours to the UAE with a stop at this hotel. But no one bothers to book a room through the appropriate online services. A week of staying two adults without children in a deluxe double room will cost only 82 thousand rubles. or slightly more expensive. What is the secret of such a low cost?

Also, the owners of the hotel say that even children will like the rest here. Indeed, they will definitely appreciate the pool with the minimum depth. And some of them will love The Penguin Mini Club. Well, to serve a very small child, you can call a nanny. She will give parents time to take a break not only from work, but also from the baby.
This hotel is located twenty minutes from the international airport. The same amount of travel is required to get to the city center. In short, the location of the hotel can be called ideal. The hotel includes three buildings, inside which there are exactly 500 rooms. They are of different types. The sizes, interiors, and content also differ. Like some other Dubai hotels, you can check into the presidential and royal suites. This is if you make millions. The rest of the readers of our rating can only afford deluxe rooms, which in fact are nothing special. Here you will find air conditioning, telephone, minibar, hairdryer and satellite TV. Well, and the radio, if you need it for some reason.
Each client is provided with round-the-clock room service. There is also a boutique, jewelry store, conference rooms and laundry facilities on site. It will not be difficult to rent a car here. With regard to water procedures, a sauna, Turkish bath and even pools with mineral water are available to visitors. How exactly the Dubaians got hold of this water is anyone's guess. Do they have similar sources too? However, let's not bother with such trifles.
While resting in such a place, you must definitely keep your body in shape. Therefore, we recommend that you regularly swim in the two pools available here. Also, it will not be superfluous to visit the gym, since its services are provided to all hotel clients. You can relax in the jacuzzi. By the way, some rooms have a private spa bath! This hotel also has two tennis courts. As well as the places for playing squash. Well, among the water sports available are water skiing, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and pedal boats.

Also, there are no problems with food – there are a large number of restaurants and bars on the territory of the hotel. Well, after a little walk, you will find yourself on a private beach. Perfect sand, sun loungers with umbrellas, a gentle entrance to the sea – what else can you dream of?
And what can you find fault with? Perhaps only to the lack of silence. If you want to achieve it, you need to close the door to the balcony, counting on salvation from the heat exclusively with the help of an air conditioner. Dubai is constantly being built and rebuilt, the driver of cars is regularly honored – all this, of course, is very well heard. The exceptions are rooms on the upper floors, but living in them is prohibitively expensive.
If you agree to stay in a deluxe room with a sea view, then get ready to shell out a little more than 140 thousand rubles. In fairness, this amount includes air travel and half board.

SOFITEL DUBAI THE PALM RESORT & SPA 5
Hotel rating Dubai: 4.7
Another five-star hotel in our selection. This is also a first line hotel, which means there is a beach right next to its walls. In theory, it allows you to relax for relatively little money – a tour here can be found for only 105 thousand rubles. But we recommend not to save money by booking accommodation in a slightly more expensive room. The fact is that the staff of this hotel is not the best way to treat those rooms and apartments that are rented for little money. You can easily enter a dusty room that doesn't even have carpets on the floor! In a word, in the photographs you will see one thing, and you will receive another. Yes, they know how to cheat not only in Turkey and Egypt, but also in extremely rich Dubai …
By the way, book apartments only in case of urgent need. They are located in a separate building, which is very far from the restaurant and pools. And you will visit them every day! Do you want to get tired on your vacation?
However, the hotel is not as bad as it might seem. It is located on Palm Jumeirah Island, surrounded by vertical gardens. In the future, you will often think of the palm trees available here. As for the hotel itself, it includes 361 rooms. Each of them has a stylish design. But if the hotels discussed above could boast of spacious rooms, then not all of them are such. Classic rooms are 44 sq. m. The same figure can boast of the Luxury rooms, which differ only in the view from the window – here you can enjoy the sea. Slightly larger are the Junior Suites, which have a living room. And, of course, even more spacious rooms with two bedrooms have not been forgotten. The hotel is ready to offer the maximum Signature Suite. This is not yet a royal apartment, but it is close to that. Three bedrooms with a huge bed in each, one bedroom with two small beds, a living room, a luxuriously equipped kitchen – all this awaits you on an area of 450 sq. m.
But let's return from heaven to earth. All rooms have a minibar, tea and coffee maker, desk, hairdryer, telephone, safe and air conditioning. Smoke detectors are responsible for safety. However, now they should be present in absolutely every hotel in Dubai.
The hotel infrastructure includes not only parking for cars, but also several conference rooms. The heads of large enterprises, who decided to hold a general meeting, will definitely be delighted with this. The hotel is also ready to offer you butler services. Round the clock! You can also sign up for cooking classes, exchange currency, and take your clothes to the laundry.
Of course, you will not spend all your free time in your room. What is the hotel ready to offer in terms of entertainment? Someone will enjoy boating. Women can visit the spa, which offers a variety of beauty and massage treatments. The Jacuzzi is rarely unoccupied. Well, men are obliged to appreciate the gym present here. A sauna, hammam and solarium are also available to hotel clients. Swimming pools are not forgotten, of course. One of them is open, while the other is under a roof. Therefore, even if bad weather suddenly sets in Dubai, you can safely swim.
There is much less entertainment for children. There is a mini-club in which children draw and do other similar things. That, in fact, is all. If there is a children's playground, the owners of the hotel do not mention it. But they are proud of the children's menu in the restaurant.
There are, I must say, a lot of restaurants here. International cuisine is to be found in Manava. The aforementioned children's menu is offered by Amura, a specialized children's restaurant located in the mini-club. The Porterhouse offers a variety of meat dishes. Well, if you visit Moana, you can taste all kinds of seafood. And this is not the whole list of restaurants! There are also bars here. They all offer desserts and soft drinks, while liquor is to be found in the cigar lounge bar.
What else can you say about this hotel? Only that it almost never includes food in the cost of living. Therefore, if you decide to book a room here, be sure to stock up on at least the same amount for dining and various entertainment. And try to choose a room with a sea view – in this case, you will most likely be able to sleep with the windows open.
Advantages
- There is a kids club;
- A large number of restaurants and bars;
- There are indoor and outdoor pools;
- Excellent sandy beach;
- There is a large spa center;
- Modernly equipped gym;
- There are all conditions for people with disabilities;

Best first line hotels in Dubai in terms of price-quality ratio

In particular, you will find a TV with satellite channels, a safe, a mini-bar, bath accessories, a telephone and other little things. If you are hungry, you can go down to one of the restaurants. They offer Arabic, French and Thai cuisine, as well as all kinds of sweets. One of the restaurants has a wonderful wine collection that you want to get acquainted with every evening. Well, traditional breakfasts, lunches and dinners with international cuisine are served at The Lounge. Also worth noting is the unpretentious terrace restaurant where you can have drinks and food while enjoying the view of the Dubai port.
Well, what else can you do here besides eating gourmet meals and relaxing in your room? Sunbathe on the beach, of course. It belongs to the hotel, so extra people will definitely not interfere. Here you can easily get a sunbed and an umbrella, so your stay on the beach will definitely be comfortable.
Such a large building has more than just rooms and catering facilities. Here you will find shops and a full-fledged business center with several computers. Someone will be pleased with the conference rooms – here you can competently present new products or hold a massive meeting. Well, we shouldn't forget about the spa center. It consists of eight treatment rooms, each with windows overlooking the garden. Here they will give you a massage, and work on your face, and put in order a manicure, and even offer to do fitness. However, you can jump and stretch your body in a separate fitness center, which is also available here.
If we talk about sports entertainment, then you will have to forget about a tennis court or volleyball court. But the owners of the hotel have built a full-fledged golf course, which includes 18 holes. The hotel also offers fishing. Not necessarily from the shore, there are several private yachts dedicated specifically for fishing. Of course, they will offer you a tour of Dubai.
In short, this is a great hotel. The cost of living here is not very high. This is because you always feel that something is missing here. For example, car rental would not hurt (you can only rent a limousine here). Also, wedding banquets are regularly held here, which can distract someone. But all this is just nagging. It is unlikely that small hotel flaws will somehow affect your vacation experience.

Hilton Dubai Jumeirah
Rating (Dubai): 4.8
Another five-star hotel in our ranking. Perhaps this is one of the most affordable options. Tourist vouchers have not yet been issued here. But if you do not shy away from booking a room through the appropriate web services, then you can arrange a week of stay in a deluxe room for only 50-65 thousand rubles. Alas, this price includes only accommodation, the hotel will not please you even with free breakfasts, this must be taken into account.
The hotel should be looked for by the sea, on the Jumeirah beach. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the city center and to the airport. The hotel was opened in October 2000. If some other Dubai hotels are located in unusually tall buildings, then here you will find an 11-storey building and landscaped green area. Surprisingly, this building contains approximately three hundred rooms. Many of them are standard, but even most of them have sea views. Inside the room, you should look for the usual filling, from any unusual – only an iron with an ironing board. It is somewhat embarrassing that when you check into a standard room, you will not be provided with Wi-Fi – Internet access is paid here.
Of course the hotel is not limited to standard rooms. Business people prefer to arrange accommodation in Executive Rooms – rooms with additional services and a hall where breakfast is served. There are also family rooms that can accommodate two adults and three children. In these rooms you can find a living room with a sofa bed, a bedroom and a large bathroom with both a bath and a shower.
This hotel does not have the most entertainment. There are no tennis courts or anything like that. There was no room even for a gym. But on the other hand, there is no problem with what to do with your children in their free time. With them you can walk around the playground. Or use the services of a mini-club in which children draw, play and do other things peculiar to them. The only thing missing here is the children's pool. There is only an adult, but he is also in the shade most of the time, which is why the water in him seems too cold.
You can buy souvenirs on site that will remind you of Dubai again and again. There is also a beauty salon and a steam room. If we talk about food, then the hotel has only two restaurants. The first one serves international cuisine, while the second one will be appreciated by lovers of Italian dishes. There are also several cafes and bars on the territory of the hotel. One of the bars is, as expected, by the pool.
Perhaps this is the hotel that unequivocally hints that time should be spent with benefit. She regularly runs buses to Dubai malls. With their help, it will not be difficult for you to get to the sights of this city. Well, you should return to the hotel for sleep, nothing more. However, one of the days can be spent sunbathing on the beach. It seems that you will definitely get tired of spending more time here.
Advantages
- You can use an iron and ironing board;
- Free transfer to shopping centers;
- There is a restaurant serving Italian cuisine;
- There is a mini-club and a playground;
- A large number of bars;
- The hotel is close to the airport;
- Low cost of living;
- Private sandy beach.
disadvantages
- Paid Internet access;
- The cost of accommodation does not include meals;
- Pool water is not always warm;
- They can easily return not the entire deposit.
The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery By Sofitel
Rating (Dubai): 4.8
A momentous moment! We start to describe hotels that have a '4 star' status. But it might seem that there are simply no such hotels in Dubai! For a week's stay in a classic room of this hotel, they will ask for only 45 thousand rubles. Of course, this cost does not include meals. But you should not worry about this, because most of the time you will spend outside the hotel. And finding a restaurant in Dubai will not be difficult. This city is literally packed with them. Of course, there are restaurants on site that will provide you with healthy meals for a reasonable price.
The hotel positions itself as wellness. This means guests can go through relaxing and rejuvenating treatments using the finest organic products. However, no one will stop you from staying here for your usual stay. There is almost always a place – the hotel includes 255 rooms, among which there are even suites (the cost of living in them is no longer so small).
The hotel's terrace and beach offer an impressive view of the bay, on the opposite side of which there are grandiose skyscrapers. It seems that they are so far away … However, practice shows that you can get to the center of Dubai from this place in just 10-20 minutes. Half an hour and you are already near the legendary Burj Khalifa skyscraper. It takes about the same time to get to the international airport. Mall of the Emirates can be accessed free of charge using the hotel's shuttle bus.
It is now one of the best places for people looking to spend their entire holiday on the beach. Even Russian-speaking staff work here, which is also good news. It is also nice that the beach is regularly cleaned. Well, as for the lack of specific entertainment … There is a tennis court, a fitness center has been recently opened, and you can also go fishing. For some people, this is enough. Visitors also note in their reviews that the rooms are cleaned twice a day and good soundproofing. You can come here with children. Although if your child does not like a beach holiday at all, then it is better to choose some other hotel.
Advantages
- Very low cost of living;
- The hotel offers all kinds of wellness treatments;
- There is a beach with a gorgeous view of Dubai;
- Regular housekeeping and beach cleaning;
- The rooms are quite spacious;
- The staff includes Russian-speaking people;
- The city center and the airport are relatively close;
- Lack of noise outside the room window;
- You can swim in the pool or sit in the jacuzzi.
disadvantages
- Not much fun;
- Mini-club is paid separately.
Hawthorn Hotel & Suites by Wyndham JBR
Hotel rating Dubai: 4.7
Another four-star representative of the rating of the best hotels in Dubai. It is located on the main street, where you can find a large number of all kinds of entertainment facilities, including family ones. The hotel itself is enormous, and most of its rooms offer views of the Arabian Gulf.
The rooms of this hotel have a decent area and standard content. The visitor is waiting for a TV with satellite channels, air conditioning and even a coffee maker. Of course, each room includes an excellent bathroom, inside which you can find bathrobes and slippers.
If required, the guest can order food and drinks delivery to the room. But if you don't want to spend extra money, then it is better to visit the Flavors restaurant yourself. This place serves international cuisine. If you want to try some unusual dishes, you will have to leave the hotel territory by visiting some other restaurants in Dubai. It remains to add that only breakfasts are included in the price.
It is felt that the owners of this hotel tried to ensure that they came to their hotel for the sake of visiting shopping centers – they are close at hand here. But this does not mean that the hotel will be boring, that you want to leave its territory as soon as possible. Here you can safely swim in the huge pool. Or sunbathe near him, a chaise longue and an umbrella should go to each person. You can also go down to the gym. It turned out to be not very large, but modern simulators are located in it. Well, how can you not mention the private beach? It has a decent size, and its gentle entrance to the sea is made entirely of sand.
Children should also like this hotel. Like it, but not seem perfect. Yes, there is a playground here. For an additional fee, you can even order a babysitting service. However, the hotel management for some reason forgot about the mini-club. There is also no separate children's pool.
Advantages
- Excellent breakfasts with lots of fruits;
- Wonderful sandy beach;
- The restaurant has a children's menu;
- Nice pool with sun loungers around it;
- There is an excellent spa center;
- There is a heated pool;
- Car rental has been implemented;
- Located practically in the center of Dubai, not far from the airport;
- Rooms and suites are very spacious.
disadvantages
- High cost of living;
- Lunches and dinners – for a fee;
- Few sports activities;
- Children may find rest here boring.
JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai
Hotel rating Dubai: 4.7
Another hotel located right in the center of Dubai. This imposes certain restrictions on him. For example, in rooms at a low height it is rarely possible to sleep with the door to the balcony open. The fact is that Dubai is still a big construction site. And not only big, but also round the clock. In a word, the noise will definitely bother you. It is absent only at high altitudes. But the rooms on the upper floors are much more expensive.
However, the above applies to all hotels that operate in the center of this city. And how is this hotel different from its brethren? Perhaps, many will remember the fact that all the rooms here are roughly equally divided between two skyscrapers. Very tall skyscrapers. So high that they fit 1608 rooms. Each has a work desk, TV and bathroom with deep soaking tub.
This time we will not talk about the numbers in full detail. With so many of them, the hotel owners had no difficulty in achieving the greatest diversity. Here you can easily find a room with two toilets. Apartments with a huge area are not forgotten here, in which the president of any country can calmly stay.
Let's move on to nutrition. It is carried out at the Kitchen6 restaurant. An international buffet is served here regularly throughout the day. If you want to appreciate Indian cuisine, then a visit to the Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra restaurant is recommended. There is also a sports bar serving delicious snacks and all kinds of drinks.
Please note that the hotel offers two types of accommodation. One is that only breakfasts are provided free of charge, while the second type also includes dinners. We recommend the second option, albeit a little more expensive. You can only refuse it if you are a traveler at heart. In this case, you will only return to the hotel late in the evening. By the way, you can easily upload photos taken during your hikes – free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
A hotel with so many rooms is bound to offer a ton of entertainment. In particular, there is an outdoor swimming pool. There is also a spa center with a hammam. You can also sign up for an excursion to local attractions. Also noteworthy is the heated pool. However, its presence seems pointless – in Dubai, sunny weather is observed almost all year round.
In fact, this is where the entertainment list ends. A trip to the nightclub is available for an additional fee. Well, car rental is not entertainment, but a harsh necessity. Perhaps most disappointing is the lack of a mini club and children's pool. If you are planning a family vacation with children, then it is better to consider another hotel. The JW Marriott Marquis Hotel is designed for those who will not be spending too much time here. It is not for nothing that the hotel is located five minutes from the city center. This is not a resort ten kilometers from Dubai. But what can I say, there is not even a private beach here!
Advantages
- Rooms are large;
- There are almost always free rooms;
- Free shuttle to Dubai Mall;
- The hotel is located close to the airport and city center;
- Buffet meals available;
- There is an outdoor pool;
- A modern gym is available;
- There is a car rental;
- The spa has not been forgotten.
disadvantages
- There is no private beach;
- Children will definitely be bored here;
- No sports entertainment.
Best Dubai hotels around shopping malls
Millennium Plaza Hotel
Hotel rating Dubai: 4.9
This five-star hotel rushes between two fires. On the one hand, it offers access to many shopping malls, restaurants and other establishments in Dubai – you can get to them not only by taxi, but also on foot. On the other hand, the hotel offers a wonderful rest, often you don't want to leave its territory. Although, of course, something will definitely be missing. The lack of a beach is probably the most felt. At first, it can be replaced by an outdoor swimming pool, around which a large number of sun loungers are placed. But in the future, you will still want to stay on one of the beaches of Dubai – it is relatively short to get to them.
It should be noted that several pools have been built here. And this is correct, because several hundred people can rest in such a hotel at once. Interestingly, there is also a heated pool. If in conventional Turkey its purpose is clear, in Dubai such a pool seems meaningless. I am glad that the owners of the hotel have not forgotten about the children's pool! But there are no other children's entertainment here. Do you want animation and other children's joys? In this case, you should consider booking a room in some other hotel.
Almost all Dubai hotels offer spacious rooms. This one is no exception to the rule. Inside the room you will find a seating area with TV and minibar, a wonderful bathroom with separate shower and bathtub, air conditioning and large windows. If you go outside the hotel, you can immediately notice the metro station. This is probably the cheapest way to get to all of Dubai's attractions. Well, if you have a license, you can use a car rental office. Of course, this is no longer the cheapest pleasure.
Unfortunately, not all hotel services are included in the cost of living. The saddest thing is the paid visit to the gym. But many visitors want to keep themselves in shape! Laundry and dry cleaning services, as well as room service are also ordered for a fee.
The cost of living in this hotel cannot be called low. This is because the Metro restaurant, which is present here, is open all day on a buffet basis. In short, this is a rare case when in Dubai the price of accommodation includes not only breakfast. Guests celebrate a wide variety of dishes at this restaurant. You can also eat in other places. For example, on the roof of the hotel you can find a gorgeous pool with panoramic views of the city, near which there is a lounge area. Staying here leaves behind an extremely positive and memorable experience.
Advantages
- Babysitting service can be ordered;
- There are Russian-speaking staff;
- The rooms are spacious;
- There are outdoor pools;
- Car rental is available;
- Buffet meals;
- There is a children's pool;
- Located near shopping centers.
disadvantages
- Attendance at the gym – extra money;
- High cost of living;
- Little entertainment for children;
- No private beach.
Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai
Rating (Dubai): 4.8
In Dubai, they like to place hotels in skyscrapers. This allows guests to enjoy a view of the city from above right from their room window. The Shangri-La Hotel has gone even further. He even provided the bathrooms with windows! This allows you to soak up the bathroom while watching the sun hide behind a nearby skyscraper. And if in the bathroom this window is usually relatively small, then in the room itself panoramic windows can wait for you!
Unlike many hotels in Dubai, this member of our rating is decorated in an Asian style. You should look for it in ten minutes drive from the world famous Dubai Mall. The same time to go to Burj Khalifa – the tallest skyscraper, which must be seen when you first visit Dubai.
The hotel includes 302 rooms. Each has a work desk, TV and minibar. Eating is offered in eight restaurants and bars. Here you can taste any dish, even the most unusual. In the evening, you can visit the outdoor lounge area. The aforementioned Burj Khalifa skyscraper is visible here as if in the palm of your hand. There is also a swimming pool in this area. Swimming in it when the sun is on the horizon is priceless! Well, next to the pool there is a bar that allows you to taste flavored hookah and enjoy signature cocktails.
Of course, Shangri-La Hotel is about more than food, sleep and swimming. There is an excellent health club that includes tennis and squash courts, as well as numerous exercise equipment. It still doesn't hurt to visit the spa, which offers treatments based on Chinese medicine.
Alas, this is a typical city hotel. This means that you should not count on the beach – you can only sunbathe on the terrace. It also suggests that the hotel is less suitable for long stays with children. Of course, the area of the rooms allows you to move in with one or two children. For babies, they will even provide a cot! However, as such, there is simply no entertainment for children (for example, a mini-club or animation). There is a children's pool for them, in the restaurant you can get dishes from the children's menu for a fee, and that's all. We can also mention the nanny, but practice shows that she is rarely used in such hotels.
It remains to add that the hotel is located a five-minute walk from the metro station. If you get a car or order a taxi, you can get to Jumeirah Beach Park in the same five minutes. In short, you can easily get to the beach to sunbathe in the sun. Well, it takes about 15 minutes to get to the international airport.
Advantages
- Shopping centers, metro station and airport are very close;
- A huge number of restaurants and bars;
- There is an outdoor pool;
- The rooms offer excellent views of Dubai;
- There is a gym and spa;
- Car rental is available;
- Children's pool available;
- You can call a nanny.
disadvantages
- Almost all entertainment is paid separately;
- The cost of living cannot be called low;
- Little entertainment for children;
- There is no private beach.
Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai
Rating (Dubai): 4.8
Another representative of our rating, from the windows of which you can see the city center. However, it should be noted that the rooms are located quite low, which slightly spoils the impression. However, during your stay in Dubai, no one will bother you to visit the observation deck, which is located on many of the most famous skyscrapers.
This hotel is located on Sheikh Zayed Road. There is a metro station within a ten minute walk from the hotel. You can also get to the main attractions and shopping centers by taxi. If you are interested in the distance from the international airport, the trip will take approximately 20 minutes. The same distance to go to the Dubai Mall, which we have mentioned more than once.
The hotel itself offers comfortable and spacious rooms. And not only them, full-fledged apartments are also available here! In favor of the latter, you should make your choice if you prefer to cook your own food.
Like many other Dubai hotels, smoking is prohibited. This is great news for those who don't like the smell of tobacco. There is a swimming pool on the roof of the hotel. Curiously, it is heated. Therefore, you can comfortably swim in it even after sunset! Other amenities include free Wi-Fi in rooms, food outlets and other facilities.
Any room in the hotel will delight you with a modern interior. After living in such a place, you will definitely begin to consider your apartment as outdated. Like any other five-star hotel, the Sheraton Grand Hotel offers every visitor a TV, a huge bed and a luxuriously furnished bathroom. And the guest will also be able to use a coffee machine – not all rooms of competing hotels are equipped with it.
As you already understood, this is a city hotel. You can not dream of any beach. But finding a city beach in Dubai will not be difficult, so you don't need to worry too much. There is no children's pool here either. It is sad. It is noticeable that this hotel generally does not recommend checking into a room with children – you run the risk of being faced with the fact that they will regularly declare that they are tired or bored.
In fact, the hotel is nothing special. By Dubai standards, this is a simple hotel with friendly staff. Some even speak Russian! I am glad that there is at least a fitness center here. Stretching and other physical exercises will only evoke positive emotions, because at the same time you will observe the city, the view of which opens from the panoramic window. It also has a spa that some women will definitely visit. And men too, because the spa has a sauna.
Advantages
- There is an outdoor pool;
- There is a spa center with sauna and jacuzzi;
- Spacious rooms;
- There is a restaurant and bar;
- There is a mini-market on the territory of the hotel;
- You can do fitness;
- The staff includes Russian-speaking people;
- Breakfast buffet;
- Each room has a coffee maker;
- The hotel is located near the center of Dubai.
disadvantages
- No private beach;
- No entertainment for children;
- A modest list of services.
Roda Al Bustan Hotel
Hotel rating Dubai: 4.7
Our rating is completed by one more hotel with the status of '5 stars'. It is the closest hotel to the international airport, just 1 km away. On the one hand, this is a plus, because you don't need to get to the hotel for a long time, and then also go back. On the other hand, you will regularly observe low flying and humming planes. You can forget about a night's sleep with an open window to the balcony. However, someone will even be interested in admiring the planes, because even huge airliners, which you rarely see live, land here.
All rooms at the Dubai hotel are decorated in soft earthy tones. Here you can enjoy watching satellite TV, working at a quality desk and relaxing in a deep bath. Bathrobes, slippers and coffee-making facilities are also provided. Some rooms have access to the swimming pool. It is open, and everything you need for tanning is located around it. The water temperature is regulated here, so you will definitely not freeze.
When you get hungry, you can visit one of the seven restaurants present here. They serve Japanese, Thai, Livayan and international cuisines. There is also a pool bar serving light snacks and drinks.
Children can also splash in the pool. Unfortunately, there is no other entertainment for them – Dubai hotels rarely practice animation or something like that. Adults can play tennis or squash. The only pity is that the equipment will have to be rented for money. There is also a car rental, so you can get transport for a more thorough study of the country. You can also note the spa center, where you can get massage, manicure and pedicure.
Advantages
- Excellent temperature-controlled pool;
- A large number of restaurants;
- Breakfast buffet;
- The staff includes a Russian-speaking person;
- The hotel is located near the city center;
- There is a spa center;
- There is a children's pool;
- You can play squash or tennis;
- The gym is not forgotten.
disadvantages
- No private beach;
- Some people won't like this proximity to the airport;
- Little entertainment for children.
Conclusion
This is the list of the best hotels in Dubai. As you can imagine, the United Arab Emirates knows how to surprise by offering amazing views and almost perfect relaxation. And almost all hotels have a serious drawback. Living here is damn expensive. But what can you do … You understand that you are going to a country for which oil extraction is an incredibly trifling business.
