“This hotel has a lot going for it, but I'm most impressed with the team's commitment to personal service. The location puts you right in the heart of Downtown, with direct access to Dubai Mall, but it's the small details that elevate a stay here: a birthday surprise for a child or remembering a face at breakfast. A luxury property, certainly, but one that's clearly managed with care.”

I did have issues with the room service. My order was incorrect, and the food arrived cold. the promised Burj Khalifa view was obstructed by another building. I felt cheated, it was not worth the extra cost.
