Ask for one of the 1130-square-foot Terrace Suites, which include two large balconies; their prime positioning at the corner of the hotel gives unparalleled views of the Creek and the Marina.
Insight Guides "Rivalling the nearby Raffles for the title of the city centre’s top place to stay, this idyllic city retreat occupies a sprawl of Moroccan-style buildings."
Travel + Leisure "Compared to Dubai’s flashy skyscraper hotels, the waterfront Park Hyatt Dubai... is subtle and diminutive—which is exactly the point." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This white Moroccaninspired low-rise hotel is situated on one of the most sublime spots on Dubai Creek, overlooking the attractive marina and yacht club."
Rough Guide "One of Dubai’s most appealing city-centre hotels, this alluring five-star occupies a beautiful complex of white-walled, blue-domed buildings in quasi-Moroccan style."
Condé Nast Traveler "Amid palm trees and adjacent to the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, this whitewashed property with multiple blue domes combines Mediterranean and Moorish influences." Full review
Star Service "This hotel knows what it is trying to be; it's a stark contrast in design, style and amenities to its downtown brethren pleasing guests in the mood for low-key elegance." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Opt for the royal seal of approval at HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein’s sprawling property that opened in Spring 2009 with 24 modern rooms on a former polo estate." Full review
Rough Guide "On the edge of Dubai, around twenty minutes’ drive from the city centre, the Desert Palm is a pleasantly laid-back suburban bolthole."
Time Out "Designed by resort specialists Per AQUUM, the remote Desert Palm (45 minutes from the city centre) offers chic luxury in the midst of perfectly manicured polo fields." Full review
Fodor's "A boutique hotel surrounded by verdant polo fields brings exclusivity to the Dubai desert at a price point that doesn't require cashing in your Fortune 500 stocks."
Lonely Planet "Feel the stresses nibbling at your psyche evaporate the moment you step inside this luxe boutique retreat a short drive south of town and set on a private polo estate."
Condé Nast Traveler "One of the city’s rare small hotels, this enclave of 26 suites and villas sits on a 150-acre polo estate whose verdant lawns feel far, far away from the cranes of Dubai." Full review

Our flight is a full one and we’re squeezed in next to the quintessential package holiday family – exactly the sort of travellers our friends had told us would be heading there, and whom I was hoping to avoid.
Michelin Guide "It's an oasis, a sedate resort-style experience with clean-lined modern villas surrounded by gardens, hedges, trees — greener than your average desert experience" Full review
