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."

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.
