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

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

Be sure to book one on higher floors if you want the best views of the city.

Management here seems to struggle with the high number of guests, which sometimes leaves special requests falling by the wayside.
