W Dubai - The Palm

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Star rating

The hotel

Arguably the globe’s coolest name in hotels, the W has finally hit Dubai’s coveted Palm Jumeirah neighbourhood. Seriously stylish, it brings the W’s famous VIP vibe with it, with audacious design and décor, 1 Michelin-starred Chef Akira Back at his signature dining venue, a spa that mixes chilled massages with playful party-prep treatments like coloured lashes, and chic hangout spaces like SoBe – a rooftop bar with 360 degree views over Dubai’s skyscrapers and the Arabian Sea. The fashionable feel continues down at W The Palm Dubai’s WET Deck, where you’ll find a pristine sandy shoreline, DJ booth, and space-age cabana pods sitting on pool-top platforms.

Just back from a lovely stay at the W Palm Dubai and it genuinely delivered on luxury, comfort and style. The hotel is immaculate, beautifully maintained and spotless from top to bottom. Huge shoutout to Brian and George at the pool who went above and beyond all week. Their five star service and surprise fruit platter on our last day were a real highlight. It is that kind of thoughtful touch that makes you feel truly pampered. The buffet food was excellent with plenty of variety and great quality. The green apple juice is an absolute must try, fresh, zingy and seriously addictive. Rashid at the bar also deserves a mention for his friendly service and a truly lovely cocktail. The reception staff, dining hosts and waiters were all superb. Warm, welcoming and professional, they really elevate the whole experience. While the hotel is not especially geared towards children, the staff went out of their way to make a fuss of the little ones and ensure they felt included. It was incredibly hot during our stay, the kind of heat that hits you like a wall, but the chilled pool and perfectly air conditioned rooms made it manageable. Do make sure to ask for a room away from the construction side of the hotel as the noise can be quite disruptive if you are looking for peace and quiet. One heads up, water sports booked through the hotel are very expensive. We found the same activities nearby for a third of the price with longer time included, so definitely worth exploring your options. All in all, a fabulous holiday with some real standout moments. Would absolutely return, but next time I will be better prepared for the heat and book my jet ski elsewhere. Read less
