$250-600/ night

Why People Love It
- The 64th-floor infinity pool offers one of the best Burj Khalifa views in the city
- Apartment-style units (Residences) provide kitchenettes and living space ideal for groups
- Pet-friendly policy (rare for Dubai luxury hotels) welcomes dogs and cats up to 20kg
Quick Take: A stunning Instagram trap with killer views and spacious rooms, but the '5-star' service often feels like a crowded high-rise apartment complex.
Reviewed by @Judy44: I was blown away by the rooftop pool at night! Floating there with the Burj Khalifa shining right in front of me felt surreal. It's the perfect romantic spot for couples, and that swing seat is such a cute touch for photos. Definitely a highlight of my Dubai trip.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'infinity pool' is spectacular but often overcrowded with no sunbeds available after 9 AM.
- You are traveling with a group or family and need 2 bedrooms + kitchen
- You prioritize a rooftop pool with a view over quiet sleep
- You are bringing a pet (dogs/cats allowed)
Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.5
- Housekeeping: Hotel side is daily and thorough; Residence side is often 'on arrival only' unless paid extra.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though some reports of moldy grout in older residence units.
- Maintenance: Modern building (2022), but high traffic means scuffed paint and occasional elevator breakdowns.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and high quality in hotel rooms; variable in private residence listings.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like signature perfume; hallways can occasionally smell of smoke or cooking.

Best picks
- High-floor 'Scene' rooms (40th floor+) for actual Burj views clearing the neighbors
- Corner 2-bedroom units for dual-aspect city/sea views
Rooms to avoid
- Low floors (under 20) facing the back—you'll see a wall or construction
- Rooms near the elevator bank due to constant foot traffic
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“Request a 'High Floor (40+) Burj View' unit away from the elevators. If booking a Residence, confirm 'Sea View' or 'Burj View' explicitly as 'City View' often means construction.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool really that good?
Yes, the 64th-floor infinity pool view is world-class, but it gets packed. Go at 7 AM for photos.
Can I walk to Dubai Mall?
Technically yes (15-20 mins), but it involves crossing busy roads and using the metro bridge. Not a casual stroll in summer.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. The buffet is extensive but can be chaotic at peak times (9-10 AM).
Are pets allowed?
Yes! Cats and dogs up to 20kg are welcome, which is rare for Dubai 5-star hotels.
Is this a hotel or an apartment?
Both. Floors 1-26 are hotel; 27-64 are Residences. '2Bd' listings are usually Residences with kitchens but limited housekeeping.
How is the WiFi?
Fast and reliable, suitable for remote work.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Use the 'Business Bay' metro station bridge to cross the highway safely toward Downtown.
- ✨
The 'Malibu Sky Lounge' offers the same view as the pool—go for a drink at sunset if you can't get a sunbed.
- ✨
Order food delivery (Talabat/Deliveroo) to the lobby if room service is too slow/expensive.
