NH Collection Dubai The Palm

Staying on the Palm's trunk gives you island life with the city close at hand. Palm Jumeirah Mall is on the doorstep, with The View at The Palm rising above it. Guests can also use the exclusive West Palm Beach, steps from the hotel. The Palm Monorail is a few minutes' walk away. Dubai Marina and Mall of the Emirates are about a 15-minute drive away, and Downtown is about 25 minutes.

Many rooms have a private balcony, and the best ones face the water. Choose a Sea View room or a One Bedroom Sea View Suite for views over the Arabian Gulf, where the Palm's crescent and the open sea stretch out below.

The all-day restaurant serves international dishes from breakfast to dinner, while a café and a lounge handle coffee and lighter bites. Fans can catch the game at the sports bar, and up on the roof, a restaurant and bar offer far-reaching city views.

The rooftop infinity pool overlooks the Dubai skyline, perfect for a lazy afternoon in the sun. The spa and gym, meanwhile, keep you in shape, body and mind.
