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.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Lovely spacious, clean room with great decor. The whole hotel is really well maintained & 5* service throughout. Huge selection at the breakfast buffet. The dine around credit is really good value - you can eat at the buffet or use your credit at Wet Deck, Akira, SoBe or Olivino. Really enjoyed the tapas dishes & happy hour cocktails at SoBe, the staff there are so lovely & friendly & really took care of us. The brunch after party on a Saturday is also a lot of fun! Wet Deck is a lively pool with DJ etc, or there is a family pool. It would be nice to also have the option of a quiet, chill pool, but you can always go to the beach. Being on the Palm, everywhere we wanted to go was about a 20min taxi ride (mall, burj khalifa, marina, downtown etc) but taxis are quite reasonable & always available right outside the hotel. All in all a fabulous holiday. We can’t wait to return! Read less
