Best Hotels in Dubai
The city that reinvented luxury
Dubai has done more to redefine the luxury hotel than any other city in the world — from the Burj Al Arab's sail-shaped silhouette on its own island to the Atlantis Royal's 795 rooms of pure spectacle. The city's hotel landscape spans the full range of ambition: beachfront resorts on the Palm, design hotels in the DIFC, desert retreats beyond the city limits, and the grand boulevard hotels of Downtown. These are the properties that make Dubai's hospitality scene genuinely unlike anywhere else on earth.
