Since Dubai
is one of the richest country in the world as well as a top tourist
destination, it has many top class hotels to cater to the tired business
travelers and tourists alike. Below are introduction to some of the better
hotels and resorts in Dubai.
Luxury Hotels
Royal Mirage Hotel – The Royal Mirage Hotel, now called The Palace At
One And Only Royal Mirage is located at Al Sufouh Rd. This resplendent
sprawling resort hotel in Dubai is designed to look like a huge mystical
ancient Arabian Fortress standing majestically on Jumeira Beach overlooking
the incredible Palm Island Bay. Palm Island is Dubai's most impressive
development and the only one of its kind in the world.
In the night, Royal Mirage looks as if it has just sprung out from the
Arabian Nights's fairy tale where bon fires and oil lamps lead you through the
palm fringe gardens right to the entrance of the hotel decorated with statues
of huge golden camels. The "The Palace" wing of the luxury hotel resort
provide accommodations from its 2 Royal Suites, 19 Executive Suites, 53 Gold
Club Rooms (with private reception and cocktail lounge) and 175 Deluxe
guest-rooms. All rooms come with breathtaking sea views, spacious luxurious
bathrooms and private balconies or ground patios.
The 3 themed restaurants in the resort provide a selection of mouth
watering Mediterranean, Moroccan and Arabian cuisines. There is also an
Oriental Cafe in the central lobby serving specialty teas, coffees and
regional delights. There are also bars and clubs in the Royal Mirage,
including the spectacularly glittering Kasbar nightclub.

Ayurvedic Spa. There are also several recreational facilities near the hotel

Burj Al Arab Hotel – Many tourists claim that the Burj Al Arab
Hotel is one of the best 5 Star Hotels in Dubai. The hotel's iconic building
resembles the sail of an Arabian ancient sailing vessel known as the 'dhow'.

making the same claim.
Burj Al Arab offers 202 luxuriously spacious duplex suites equipped with
plasma TV sets. The restaurants in the Hotel include Al Mahara "the Oyster",
Al Iwan Buffet Dining, Majlid Al Bahar Al Fresco Dining, Al Muntaha "the
Ultimate" and Skyview Bar to take in spectacular view.

the airport and a short drive away to the famous Jumeira Beach. It is also in
close proximity to several tourist attractions and shopping malls.

villas for the accommodation of guests. The grand villas come with spacious
rooms, dining and living space, attached bathrooms, kitchenette and a separate
maid's room equipped with a toilet.
Rumours Café in the hotel serves delicious cuisines, snacks and
cocktails. Foreign guests can even try out smoking the traditional fragrant
hookah here. Of course, you can also find the usual swimming pool, gym and a
