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

Concierge "Dubai's answer to Vegas's Venetian Hotel... sounds tacky but is in fact utterly enchanting."
Fodor's "The name translates to "The Palace," and from the moment you pull into the drive with its fountain of life-size prancing horses, you'll know that it fits the description."
Insight Guides "Its Arabic name means ‘The Palace’, and this grand boutique hotel really is fit for a king."

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."
Time Out "It’s grand, but still elegant – there are palm trees, beautiful rugs and furniture, and elaborate flower arrangements in the lobby." Full review
Star Service "As part of the Madinat complex, this elegant hotel is designed to resemble a sheik's summer residence surrounded by water on all sides, creating a virtual island." Full review
