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.

Checked in for a two night stay, check in took slightly longer than I expected, however they upgraded my room with a sea and pool view which was appreciated. The room was great, spacious, modern, plenty of water bottle and a comfy bed. Great view over the wet deck and sea view. The pool was had a great vibe with friendly staff who were happy to help with towels and food & drink. In the evening the rooftop bar was cosy and between 5-8pm happy hour BOGOF on cocktails. Morning breakfast buffet had a fantastic selection which I couldn’t fault. Overall I had a really great stay and fully recommend this hotel to people wanting a short break. 🇬🇧 Read less

We have just returned from a week stay at this beyond fantastic hotel. Has to be one of the best hotels we have stayed in in regards to luxury and customer service. The hotel is on the beach which was immaculate great location to get to Atlantis, and taxi rides to downtown marina and Dubai marina. The staff here go above and beyond in every aspect from the moment we arrived we was address by our name in every venue in the hotel. The staff knew our room number and what ever we ate and drink it was sorted for us straight away! The can not do enough to ensure you are looked after and nothing is an issue! So thank you to all the staff for making our stay memorable. The food and drink selection was again next level. We stayed all inclusive and every meal/snack we had was fantastic. Liv is the main restaurant for breakfast, lunch, evening meal and each meal we had was spectacular in every way. A huge selection of cusines, and each meal was beautiful. Sobe the roof top terrace had amazing sunset views, great tapas selection and a vibe that is so Dubai. We loved sitting in the w lounge for coffee and cake and wow thise cakes are delectable. Each place has its own vibe. Our room was amazing we stayed in a spectacular king room with terrace which over looked the wet deck and this was perfect for us. We still got the pool vibe on our terrace and our view over looking the palm and the city made it even more special. Our room was spotless clean every day, and several bottles of water left in the room which was great. (Worth requesting a mini fridge for your room a god send to keep water chilled) I can not think of anything negative about this fantastic hotel. Its a on trend hotel, amazing vibe, top level staff and food and drink to die for. Thank you for making our holiday memorable and we can not wait to come and stay with you again. I recommend this hotel whole heartedly and its suitable for all... couples, family, etc... Read less

We stayed at this hotel for 10 nights in early June — our third visit to Dubai, having previously stayed on the Palm. Before booking, I reached out to the reservations team to request an early check-in and a potential complimentary upgrade, as several reviews mentioned these were often granted. Upon arrival, our luggage was promptly taken, and we were directed to the check-in area. Unfortunately, we experienced a 20-minute wait before additional staff stepped in to assist with the queue. I was informed that my request had been noted, but the room was not yet ready. To my disappointment, we ended up waiting an additional three hours. When I inquired again about an upgrade, I was offered a one-bedroom suite at an extra cost of £140 per night, which I declined. The staff member then asked how this check-in experience compared to previous ones — all I’ll say is: Raffles. That said, once we settled in, the experience significantly improved. The room was modern, vibrant, and very comfortable, much like the rest of the hotel. Ours faced the W Residences but still offered a pleasant view of the Palm and the ocean. Overall, the hotel is excellent. The pool and beach areas are well-maintained, and the service from the waiting staff was consistently attentive and professional — no complaints there. Dining options were outstanding, with a great variety. Sobe, Akira Back, and other restaurants are definitely worth visiting. While the pool area could get quite busy, especially with day pass guests, it became noticeably quieter after a few days. There is some construction happening next door, but I didn’t hear any noise — the lively atmosphere and music from Wet Deck more than covered it. The only downside to our stay was the check-in experience. Aside from that, it’s a fantastic hotel that I would happily recommend. Read less
