Travel + Leisure "Compared to Dubai’s flashy skyscraper hotels, the waterfront Park Hyatt Dubai... is subtle and diminutive—which is exactly the point." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This white Moroccaninspired low-rise hotel is situated on one of the most sublime spots on Dubai Creek, overlooking the attractive marina and yacht club."

Condé Nast Traveler "Amid palm trees and adjacent to the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, this whitewashed property with multiple blue domes combines Mediterranean and Moorish influences." Full review
