Dubai has some of the worlds finest luxury hotels and we've picked out our top 5 favorites. Some might think that it costs an arm and a leg to stay in one of these hotels, but you'll be pleased to know that it's more affordable than you think!
The Fairmont in Dubai
The 266 rooms at The Fairmont in Dubai are catered to the luxury traveler with everything available and thought out. The hotel is situated on Sheikh Zayed road directly opposite the World Trade Center. The Fairmont Dubai comes packed with 8 kitchens that will serve you up some of the finest cuisine in the east. Aside from the restaurants, there is also a fantastic Wine Bar as well as a Cigar Club to please the people who prefer the finer things in life.
Crowne Plaza Hotel
The Crowne Plaza is centrally located near shopping malls, restaurants, golf and the beach. The Crowne Plaza only has 201 rooms so it is fairly busy through out the year, so plan ahead and book online. Some rooms have beautiful views of the water which was once an area famous for pearl diving!
Emirates Towers Hotel
If it's business you're here for, then the Emirates Towers is where you want to stay! Soaring high above the central business and commercial district, Jumeirah Emirates Towers is a dramatic backdrop to Dubai's skyline and a visible statement of the region's growing corporate success. I had the pleasure of staying here last year for just one night and I was sad because I had to leave before I could experience it all!
The Hilton Dubai Jumeirah
This is the place dreams are made of! Situated right on the beach with one of the most beautiful views of any hotel in Dubai, the Hilton once again out does itself. The Hilton has 394 rooms including 57 suites with a private balcony which take in that amazing view. Aside from the rooms, the whole place is beaming with luxury and elegance.
Le Meridien Hotel Dubai
The Le Meridien Hotel is located in the heart of the city, near to the airport, commercial districts and shopping centers. This is a large modern building set on thirty eight acres of luxury. The Hotel has a business mindset, but from what I've heard it is pleasurable for any type of stay. There are a lot of activities for the kids so that the adults can get out and play too.
