Frommer's "The Burj is among the world's tallest... and most expensive hotels, certainly in first place for sheer over-the-top appeal." Full review

A "pillow menu" lets you choose from 17 pillows and quilts to make for a decadent night's sleep.
Concierge "Low-key it is not, with Rolls-Royce pickups at the airport, a rooftop helipad, and an entrance that denies mere plebeians the right to gawk."
Insight Guides "A stay in this iconic ‘seven-star’ hotel offers the last word in opulence, with every mod-con and indulgence you could imagine... ranging from remote-control curtains to ‘pillow menus'."
Travel + Leisure "This iconic, sail-shaped hotel—which soars 1,053 feet over the Persian Gulf, on an artificial island off Jumeirah Beach—literally epitomizes Dubai’s over-the-topness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The interior is gaudy but the spectacular coastal views, especially from the Skyview Bar, make up for it."
Rough Guide "A stay in this staggering hotel is the ultimate Dubaian luxury."
Time Out "Welcome to the only seven-star hotel in the world. Okay, it’s officially a five-star hotel, but if there ever was a seven-star rating, the Burj Al Arab or ‘Tower of the Arabs’ would probably get it." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler ""Feel like a sheikh in your own palace" at this sail-shaped Dubai landmark, where interiors are embellished with 24-karat gold and the atrium lobby rises some 600 feet." Full review
Oyster Luxury
"Billing itself as the “world’s mostluxurious hotel,” Burj Al Arab is a destination unto itself." Full review
Afar Magazine "Sets the bar for outsized luxury with Rolls Royce airport pickups, gold-plated iPads, and butler-serviced duplex suites equipped with beds with mirrored ceilings." Full review

Frommer's "This is a great place for those looking to keep in shape, with an extensive spa, tennis center with professional instructors, squash courts, jogging track, and sprawling outdoor and indoor pools." Full review
Fodor's "As Bur Dubai's largest hotel, with a colossal 600 rooms and almost 200 serviced apartments, this property makes a real statement." Full review
Insight Guides "A rare resort-type hotel in the centre of the city, the 674-room Grand Hyatt lies roughly halfway between the airport and Sheikh Zayed Road."
Lonely Planet "The vast white-marble lobby at this hulking resort re-creates a tropical rainforest, with dhow hulls hanging from the ceiling." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This massive property may have marvellous views over Creekside Park across to the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, but it’s easy to let the myriad attractions within the hotel distract you."
Rough Guide "This colossus of a hotel – the second biggest in Dubai, with 674 rooms spread over sixteen floors – is grand in every sense."
Time Out "Grand Hyatt Dubai towers over the edge of Dubai's historic creek and has one of the biggest lobbies we’ve seen." Full review
i
Be sure to book one on higher floors if you want the best views of the city.
Star Service "This hotel's striking 16-floor facade dominates the Bur Dubai side of the Khor Dubai waterway, next to Al Garhoud Bridge." Full review
i
Management here seems to struggle with the high number of guests, which sometimes leaves special requests falling by the wayside.

"Despite its luxury amenities... in the heart of Dubai's commercial city center, the GrandHyatt Dubai is not as expensive as might be expected." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Overlooking Dubai Creek in the Bur Dubai district, the Grand Hyatt has 674 guest rooms and suites with city views, as well as luxury apartments." Full review
