What people say

Cait Shaw

"The largest hotel on my Dubai hotels recommendations - with 188 rooms - but it just about still manages to deliver a more personal service. The hotel is filled with a curated modern art collection and the entire space definitely hits the “cool artist” aesthetic. Think velvet green sofas, geometric lights, a glass staircase and cool marble tables. One for design lovers. The spa is excellent. Surprisingly affordable luxury. "

Dubai’s Best Boutique Hotels

There are many, many reviews and summaries out there of the best – and most over the top – places to stay in Dubai. But finding somewhere a bit more low key can be trickier. As an expat living in the Arabian Peninsula I have travelled frequently to Dubai, and have tried and tested many different hotels to find the hidden gems amongst the skyscrapers. Hopefully this will give you some inspiration for the more boutique, and characterful, places to stay.
