The hype
Huge rooms and helpful staff make it a family favorite, but the breakfast is repetitive and the 'luxury' finish is starting to show its age.
Ultra Luxurious Facing Dubaimall Near Burj Khalifa
$150-270/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a spacious apartment with a kitchen and Burj Khalifa views for half the price of the hotels actually connected to the mall.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Walking distance to Dubai Mall (if you know the shortcut)
- Apartments are massive compared to standard hotel rooms
- Balconies with direct views of the Burj Khalifa and Fountains
Kurzfassung: A solid value-for-money serviced apartment that feels more like a high-end residence than a hotel, provided you don't mind the dry (no alcohol) policy.
Bewertet von @Shagoon_sen: I stayed in this ultra-luxe apartment and the view of the Burj Khalifa from my balcony was absolutely insane. It felt so exclusive to have that skyline all to myself. Plus, being able to walk to the Dubai Mall was a total game-changer for my trip.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is it really walking distance to Dubai Mall?
Yes, physically it's about 10-15 minutes, but it involves crossing busy roads and navigating construction paths. In summer, take the taxi or shuttle.
Does the hotel serve alcohol?
No. It is a dry hotel. You cannot buy alcohol here, but you can consume your own in your room if you buy it elsewhere.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, expect a hold of AED 500-1000 on your credit card upon check-in for incidentals.
Are the kitchens fully equipped?
Mostly yes—stove, microwave, fridge, washing machine, and basic cookware are standard in suites.
Can I see the Fountains from my room?
Only from specific 'City View' or 'Burj View' suites on high floors and usually from the balcony, not necessarily from the bed.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the outdoor pool is temperature-controlled, making it usable even in cooler winter months.

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'Sewage Smell': Occasional wafts of sewage odor can plague the lobby or lower floor bathrooms due to district cooling/drainage issues common in this area.
💡Resident vs. Guest Friction: This is a mixed-use building. Long-term residents often complain about 'hotel guests' taking up pool chairs.
💡The Elevator Wait: During peak times (morning/evening), waiting for an elevator to the 40th floor can take 10+ minutes.
💡No Alcohol Policy is Strict: You won't find a glass of wine at dinner downstairs. It changes the evening vibe significantly.
💡The 'City View' Lottery: Not all 'City Views' equal Burj Khalifa. Some just face other skyscrapers. You must specify 'Burj View' to be safe.
