Concierge "The richly brocaded suites and private villas have huge marble tubs in the bathrooms."
Condé Nast Traveler "The opulent decor—think Delacroix meets Vanity Fair photo shoot—is especially evident in the men’s Turkish bath, where paintings of sheet-draped harem girls adorn the walls." Full review
Time Out "Opulence pours from every wall and it feels grand, but slightly overwhelming, too – you wouldn’t want to walk into this place in scruffy shorts and flip flops." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With its ten restaurants, lavish on-site Turkish hammam, and stretch of private beach, guests can live like a sultan during their stay here." Full review
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"In many ways the 405-room Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is the epitome of the lavish hotels for which Dubai is famed." Full review
Lonely Planet "With its domed ceiling, golden pillars and jewel-like lamps, Zabeel Saray’s lobby is as lavish and majestic as an Ottoman palace." Full review
Michelin Guide "The look is Turkish, inspired by the Ottoman Empire...ten restaurants, ten tennis courts, a gym, spa, pool and hammam, and it’s clear there’s no physical need that could possibly go unmet here." Full review

Frommer's "As with other hotels along Sheikh Zayed Road, the enormous Crowne Plaza caters to business travelers but is also friendly to holidaygoers." Full review
Fodor's "This is the oldest hotel along the Sheikh Zayed strip, and it shows."
Rough Guide "One of the cheaper five-stars on the strip, the Crowne Plaza is a haven of old-world chintz amid the modernist establishments lining Sheikh Zayed Road."
Time Out "The central location means you should only ever be about 15 minutes from any attraction or landmark, be it a Creek crossing to the souks and airport or a quick blast up the highway to the Marina." Full review
Oyster Upscale
