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

DK Eyewitness "The opulent Al Qasr (“the palace” in Arabic) is graced with enormous wooden doors, elegant arches and Moroccan stonework."
Rough Guide "This extravagantly opulent Arabian-themed hotel looks like something out of a film set, from the statues of rearing horses and jaw-dropping views over the Madinat which greet you on arrival."
