Escape into an Arabian fairytale in regal bedrooms complete with antique furnishings, scalloped archways, grand marble bathrooms and spectacular vistas of the lush manicured gardens or picturesque waterways.
Elsewhere, on the property, enjoy a sprawling, indulgent spa; a private beach; and an overwhelming array of dining options.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- While the palatial charms of the Dubai
hotel might keep you perfectly happy indoors, head to the mile-long private
beach for sun and Burj Al Arab views.
- Fitness buffs can enjoy a
one-of-a-kind workout at Talise Fitness, which boasts the UAE’s only High
Altitude Suite. Take a high-intensity cycle class (after a few intro sessions,
of course) in this unique low-oxygen chamber to achieve better results in
shorter periods of time.
- At the Sinbad Kid’s Club, children
can splash around in a pint-sized waterpark; join in fun games, crafts and
activities; play sports; and watch movies all day long.
- Apart from the eight restaurants,
bars and lounges at Jumeirah Al Qasr, you’ll have an extensive selection of dining
options around the Souk Madinat Jumeirah complex. Select from fine Italian
cuisine and vintage wines, Asian soul food, Mexican favorites and more.
- What better way to relax than at Four-Star
Talise
Spa, a 26-room haven for deep-tissue massages, reflexology treatments,
hammam experiences and a host of other face and body offerings. For
Arabian-style indulgence, try the exfoliating 24-karat Gold Hammam.
Things to Know
- The hotel’s location in Madinat
Jumeirah is possibly the best in Dubai, especially for those looking for a
taste of the city’s finest dining, nightlife and live entertainment. It’s also
within easy reach of the city’s major tourist attractions.
- Keep the whole family active with
a visit to the resort’s Rock Climbing Wall. This 20-foot challenge with three
rock boulders and a traversing section is suitable for both children and adults
with varying levels of proficiency in the sport.
- Souk Madinat Jumeirah is built in
the style of the city’s traditional architecture, complete with wind towers
flanking romantic, winding canals plied by abra
boats. Shop among the stalls and stores for souvenirs.
The Rooms
- Rooms and suites are spacious and
designed with Arabesque flair and touches such as ornate columns, rich carpets
with decorative patterns, arched windows, elegant mirrors, generous dressing
areas and intricate woodwork.
- Private balconies offer scenic views of the canals of
Madinat Jumeirah and the property’s verdant gardens.
- Marble bathrooms come with dual
vanities, a bathtub and a separate rain shower.
- Enjoy the royal treatment when you
book your stay in the palatial Presidential Suite. Situated on the top floor of
the Dubai hotel, the 1,937-square-foot space boasts two bedrooms, two bathrooms
with jetted showers and Jacuzzi tubs, three HD LCD televisions, a PlayStation,
a home theater system and panoramic views of the entire property from a private
terrace.
The Restaurants
- Take an Arabesque-style afternoon tea
at the elegant Al Fayrooz Lounge, along with Arabian-inspired accompaniments,
such as strawberry kunafa mille-feuille and apricot orange blossom soufflé
complete with stunning vista of the Arabian Gulf.
- Meat lovers will enjoy dining at
The Hide, a modern take on the classic steakhouses of New York and Chicago. Sink
into prime cuts and rustic sides in a trendy setting, or stop by for a
sumptuous Friday brunch.
- Step aboard an abra and arrive by canal to the romantic Pai Thai to enjoy authentic Thai cuisine seated under the moonlight or inside the beautiful restaurant. You’ll appreciate the friendly, attentive service as much as the flavorful food — try the river prawns with creamy red curry, you won’t regret it.
- The catch of the day is always
fresh at Pierchic, the luxury hotel’s Mediterranean seafood restaurant that delivers
overwater dining with fantastic views of the Arabian Gulf. The stunning sunsets
and cocktails make it a romantic (and popular) date night spot.
