Attractive stay in the heart of town less than a mile from Dubai World Trade Centre.

The Baroque lobby is a wowza with its impressive double staircase and greenery-filled, balustrade-lined atrium.

Four dining/drinking options, with everything from an African-themed nightclub (DJ!), to the aviation-themed Lindbergh’s Bar (views!).

Baniyas Metro Station’s practically on your doorstep (aka, Dubai’s your oyster).

Shares the street with Dubai’s famed skyscrapers and shopping malls. Do it. All of it.

The airport is just up the road, giving you extra time to linger in your comfy, contemporary room.

Outdoor swimming pool treats you to enviable city views. (Gaze admiringly.)

Original artwork flows throughout, from uniquely decorated guestrooms to the onsite gallery.

Outdoor kid’s pool and bigger version for the rest of us, plus a free shuttle to the not-too-far-away beach.

In central Bur Dubai next to Port Rashid, mins from the must-see souks, stuffed to the gills with gold and every textile imaginable.

Plush beds and your choice of pillows. Warning: your tour plans may get swapped for some serious stay-in time.

Perfectly situated for strolls through vibrant Deira, metro adventures, shopping (plus a gratis mall shuttle) & access to the historic Creek area.

Shopper alert: you’re a 5-min jaunt from the BurJuman mall. (Side note: the double-decker Big Bus Dubai tours are right outside the main entrance.)

Self-catering units make a pret-ty impressive home away from home. Bonus points for airport proximity.

Quick, throw on your swimsuit and grab your phone for pics of the views, views, views from the outdoor pool deck.
