Dubai does rooftop pools differently. This is not a small plunge pool beside a gym. Here, pools sit on the 50th floor, wrap around towers, and hang off record-breaking buildings, with the Burj Khalifa or the Palm Jumeirah filling the view while you swim. The six hotels below cover the pools people actually talk about […]

Travelling with a dog or cat used to mean leaving Dubai off the list, or paying for boarding while you stayed in a hotel without them. That has changed. A growing number of hotels across the city now welcome pets properly, with beds, bowls, menus and outdoor spaces where your animal is expected rather than […]

Deira and the streets around Dubai Creek feel different from the glass towers further south. This is where Dubai started as a trading port, and it still works that way today: dhows loading cargo on Baniyas Road, traders haggling in the Gold Souk and Spice Souk, and abras carrying passengers across the water for around […]

Staying in Dubai for a month is a different kind of trip. A standard hotel room starts to feel small after the first week, eating out three times a day gets expensive, and laundry becomes a real chore. Hotel apartments solve those problems in a practical way. You get a proper kitchen, a separate living […]

Dubai does big hotels brilliantly. Vast lobbies, record-breaking towers and resorts with hundreds of rooms are part of the city’s story. But stay a little longer, or look in the older neighbourhoods along the Creek, and a different side appears: small hotels in restored courtyard houses, low-rise addresses where staff learn your name, and design-led […]

Dubai does water parks the way it does everything else: big. And the smartest way to do a water park here is to stay at a hotel that includes it. A room key that doubles as a park ticket means you can hit the slides at opening, retreat to your room for the midday heat, […]

Dubai takes wellness seriously. In a city that has turned the hotel spa into something close to an art form, the difference between a good spa break and a great one comes down to choosing the right property. Some hotels treat their spa as a small side room with two massage beds; others build entire […]

Dubai has no shortage of beachfront hotels, but a genuinely private beach is a different category altogether. We’re talking about hotel-guests-only sand: loungers set out for you in the morning, attendants who bring cold towels and drinks to your sunbed, and none of the crowds you’d find on a public stretch. A private beach changes […]

Mall of the Emirates is one of those rare shopping malls that is a destination in its own right: more than 630 stores, VOX Cinemas, Magic Planet, and Ski Dubai — a full indoor ski slope sitting inside a desert mall. It is also one of the most hotel-friendly spots in the city, with several […]

Dubai Parks and Resorts is the UAE’s biggest theme park destination, with MOTIONGATE Dubai, LEGOLAND Dubai, LEGOLAND Water Park and REAL MADRID WORLD all in one place. Where you stay makes or breaks the visit: the parks sit on the edge of the city near Jebel Ali, so a smart hotel choice means short walks […]
