Why People Love It
Direct, air-conditioned walkway connection to Dubai Mall
Unbeatable balconies with full views of the Fountain shows
The 'Secret Garden' café hidden within the hotel
Quick Take: It’s a scene-y, high-energy luxury tower where the lobby is a runway and the fountain views ruin you for all other hotels.
Reviewed by @ama_ampofo: I honestly didn't want to leave. Waking up to that massive breakfast spread with the Burj Khalifa towering right in front of me was a total pinch-me moment. The marble bathroom felt like a private spa. Definitely the best spot for a luxury Dubai city break.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
The hype
Guests are obsessed with the location and the 'surreal' fountain views from the rooms.

Instagramming the Burj Khalifa from your bathrobe is a priority
You enjoy a high-energy, cosmopolitan atmosphere
