Luxury in Dubai: The Best 5-Star Hotels and Resorts

Dubai is a city that exudes wealth and luxury. And, as in any Arabian fairy tale, you will find the most chic and luxurious hotels in the world. In this article, we will provide a list of the best hotels in Dubai, as well as the most popular customer reviews for each. We believe that people's opinions are the most important factor in determining the quality of a hotel. So, let's get started.

The World's Most Prestigious Hotel: Burj Al Arab

Although our article is about 5-star hotels, we couldn't leave out this hotel because it has seven stars! The hotel building is 321 meters high and shaped like a sail. The hotel helps guests obtain entry visas to the UAE, has its own spa, 8 bars, and restaurants, a private beach with umbrellas and comfortable loungers, a concierge, and a butler. The Wild Wadi Water Amusement Park, located just a 5-minute walk across the island's bridge, offers unlimited water sports and other activities. Luxury suites with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the Dubai coastline.

Review: "Of course, this is a regal hotel!" We stayed in a panoramic suite that was stylish, romantic, comfortable, and very expensive..... It appears that all of the rooms are two stories, but some do not have a view... We were met, escorted, checked in, and checked out right in our room; on each floor, there is a Butler (butler) who will fulfill any request. The entire hotel is stunning; the lobby is gorgeously decorated for Christmas, with gold, marble, brocade, and so on...".

One&Only The Palm

The hotel is located on the Palm Jumeirah peninsula. It features a private beach, a restaurant with Michelin-starred cuisine, a bar, a lounge, personalized service, water sports and excursions, a spa, and other amenities. There are spacious rooms, suites, and villas on the hotel's property or in private villas by the beach, among other options.

Review: "Beautiful hotel and grounds, very quiet. Excellent breakfast, nice beach. From disadvantages: prices in restaurants, the wine list is very expensive. There are some problems with transportation access, but thanks to the fact that we rented a car in advance, this problem did not affect us. By the way, unlike the prices of the hotel itself, especially for some services, renting a car turned out to be our best bargain in Dubai".

Raffles Dubai

The Raffles Dubai, designed in the style of the great Egyptian pyramids, stands out in Dubai's urban landscape. It has its own spa, an outdoor pool, a large gym, and seven cafes and restaurants. The hotel assists guests in obtaining an entry visa to the UAE.

There are numerous stores just a few steps away from Raffles Dubai Hotel, and Wafi, one of Dubai's most well-known shopping centers, is adjacent to the hotel. Dubai International Airport is a 15-minute drive away.

Review: "I liked everything: good breakfast, light dinner in the lounge, staff trying to accommodate all guests' requests at all times, and everything was clean. At check-in, the hotel provided a specialist, Victoria, who made it easier to become acquainted with the hotel."

Jumeirah Al Qasr – Madinat Jumeirah

The hotel is located 2 kilometers from the private beach. Extensive landscaped grounds with artificial canals, seafood restaurant, private beach with free fresh fruit, large pool complex with separate areas for children, and marble lobby lounge with palm trees.

The hotel is close to Madinat Jumeirah Souk Market and a 15-minute drive from the Dubai Internet City area.

Review: "Absolutely fabulous! Al Qasr is undoubtedly one of the best hotels I've ever visited! Huge picturesque green area, throughout the territory, laid 'Venetian canals' on which float boats like gondolas, with which you can move throughout the vast territory of the hotel complex Madinat Jumeirah, i.e. you can use them as a water cab or just for romantic rides on the honeymoon, for example…".

Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf – Madinat Jumeirah

The hotel offers a private beach, indoor and outdoor pools, free Wi-Fi and spa services, complimentary admission to the nearby Wild Wadi water park, water sports, tennis courts, 41 restaurants, cafes, and bars, and free parking.

The hotel rooms are spacious and luxurious, with balconies, authentic Arabic-style furniture, and luxurious bathrooms, among other amenities.

Review: "Everything is awesome. Everything is expensive, but the price-to-quality ratio does not appear excessive. Cons: I can't remember anything except that the restaurant bill arrived at the general base after 30 minutes, and without it, there were problems with checkout, but they were quickly resolved."

Jumeirah Emirates Towers

The hotel is located on the busy Sheikh Zayed Highway, just a short drive from the Dubai Mall. The hotel provides a free shuttle service and access to its private Jumeirah Beach, restaurants and bars, spa, Boulevard Shopping Center, fitness center, and other amenities.
