Frommer's "This is one of the Jumeirah Group's flagship resorts, a romantic retreat showcasing Arabian design and hospitality." Full review
Fodor's "Jumeirah calls Mina A'Salam a boutique hotel, but it may be stretching the definition to say a property with nearly 300 rooms truly fits into that category."
DK Eyewitness "The old-Arabian architecture of Mina A’Salam is inspired by the ancient towers of Yemen and Saudi Arabia as well as by the local windtower architecture of Dubai’s Bastakiya area."
Rough Guide "The sheer size of the place lends it a faint package-resort atmosphere which sits incongruously with its refined traditional Middle Eastern styling."
Time Out "Its lobby is furnished with fountains, polished stone and scented flowers, and reception staff are decked out in elegant robes." Full review

Concierge "In place of butlers, Armani-clad "lifestyle managers," summoned by phone or free Wi-Fi computer click, solve guest dilemmas such as where to hem a designer Abaya."

Which room to book: Some of the fifth-floor Armani Ambassador suites have vast balconies; otherwise, request a room with a view of the world's largest dancing fountain.
Lonely Planet "It’s all understated elegance... the sophistication is further emphasised by Armani-branded everything." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 2010-opened hotel occupies the underground level through floor 8 and floors 38 and 39 of the Burj Khalifa, and representing designer Giorgio Armani's debut as a hotelier." Full review
Time Out "It looks rather slick and exudes a very masculine feel, with smooth stone and mahogany dominating Armani’s decor." Full review
Star Service "As its name suggests, this is a sleek and fashionable hotel that is unlike most in Dubai because of its position in the towering Burj Khalifa complex." Full review
