The Best Hotels in Dubai

About Dubai

Dubai has reinvented itself more boldly than almost any city on earth. In just a few decades, a small trading port on the Creek became a global city of record-breaking towers and man-made islands. Yet old Dubai still awaits discovery. Cross the Creek by wooden abra, then wander the spice souks and the wind-tower lanes of Al Fahidi. Dine on flavours from around the world, watch the sun set over the dunes, then see the Burj Khalifa light up the night. Our selection captures every side of the city, from palatial Palm resorts to peaceful desert retreats and stylish, great-value stays.
