Which Jumeirah Dubai hotel is best for you?

Best for: Ultra-luxury city breaks

If you’re looking for an iconic hotel stay in Dubai, it absolutely has to be Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. The ultra-luxury hotel is the only one in the world to have seven stars and it takes the accolade seriously. 

Standing proud on an artificial island, the huge sail-shaped hotel is accessible via an exclusive bridge road or helicopter. The interiors are gilded with 24-carat gold; it’s home to the world’s largest Swarovski crystal ceiling and the most expensive cocktail.

Best for: Garden lovers 

The contemporary beachside retreat is nestled within beautiful, landscaped gardens to offer guests a horticultural sanctuary in Dubai. To top it off, there are over 14 different types of palm tree dotted across the grounds. 

Choose from garden view rooms for a peaceful stay or opt for the ocean-facing rooms and be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. All beds have mattresses by Hypnos, the official mattress supplier to Buckingham Palace. 

The hotel has seven restaurants with cuisines from around the world. However, since Jumeirah Al Naseem is set within Madinat Jumeirah, a Dubai mini-city, there are over 50 restaurants to choose from so you’re certainly not limited for dining and imbibing.
