Stayed at Al Qasr for our anniversary and the private beach was worth every dirham.
Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah, newer and stunning.
Afternoon tea at the Burj is like 200 USD now. Worth it once.
Armani Hotel inside the Burj Khalifa, what a location.
Bvlgari Resort has its own marina, so chic.
Would add The Lana by Dorchester for the newest luxury option.
Service in Dubai hotels is the best in the world, period.
Palace Downtown with the fountain view from the room, best location in the city.
Palace Downtown, the Arabic architecture and the Burj Khalifa view at night, amazing.
Four Seasons Jumeirah has the best breakfast I've had in any hotel.
We did the seaplane from Jumeirah, unforgettable view of the Palm.
Book in summer for half the price, but it's 45°C.
Breakfast at the Burj Al Arab is pricey but unforgettable.
Service everywhere is incredible.
Atlantis with the Aquaventure park, kids loved it.
Armani Hotel has a strict minimalist vibe, loved it, but the price is crazy.
Zabeel Saray's kids club is great too, very underrated for families.
For families Atlantis wins easily. Waterpark, aquarium, kids club, done.
Atlantis is a theme park with rooms though. Great for kids, terrible if you want peace.
Raffles Dubai, the pyramid one, gets overlooked but it's lovely and quieter.
All these hotels and not one budget pick, I know it's the luxury list but still 😂
It literally says luxury in the title 😂
Al Qasr + the Souk Madinat next door = perfect evening.
Where's the Address Sky View? The infinity pool on the 54th floor is iconic.
Address Sky View is great but more of a city hotel, this list is mostly beach resorts.
Dubai luxury is next level.
Honestly the Burj Al Arab is more about the photo than the stay. Rooms feel very 90s inside.
Disagree, the suites are huge and the butler service is unreal. Dated gold decor, sure, but that's the point.
Atlantis The Royal next door is the new crazy one, the sky pool is wild.
Mandarin Oriental's rooftop bar is a hidden gem.
Went to Dubai for 4 days and stayed in 2 of these. Al Qasr > Burj Al Arab for me.
Armani Hotel is very minimalist.
One&Only The Palm over everything, feels like a private villa.
Jumeirah Al Qasr in Madinat, beautiful.
Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah, the beach is beautiful and the rooms all face the sea.
Booked One&Only after reading this, thanks!
If you go in July you'll get crazy deals but you won't leave the pool.
Top 3 for me: Al Qasr, One&Only The Palm, Bvlgari.
Just make sure you check the beach is actually private, some 'beach' hotels are across the road.
The Palm hotels have the best beaches.
bvlgari is the classiest by far, no crowds, no influencers lol
Zabeel Saray looks like an Ottoman palace, the Talise spa is insane.
Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the wave building.
Jumeirah Beach Hotel is perfect for families, free entry to Wild Wadi was a great perk.
Good list.
Great for a honeymoon.
This list is so expensive to read 😅
One&Only The Palm is so peaceful.
Four Seasons Jumeirah Beach, great beach.
Dubai in December is perfect, 25 degrees and sunny.
Bvlgari Resort is the most elegant.
Burj Al Arab, at least go for afternoon tea.
Al Qasr's abra boats around the canals, magical.
