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

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

"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
