The Downtown Dubai area is where Dubai pulsates the most: some of the city’s top attractions, such as the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, The Dubai Fountain, and the Dubai Opera, can all be found here. This is also one of Dubai’s preferred areas to stay, thus the concentration of high-end hotels. Slightly south, the quieter Business Bay area is the natural expansion of Downtown Dubai, offering several hotel options with direct views of the Dubai Canal.

There is nothing ordinary about the ultra-luxurious Palace Downtown. To begin with, this is not just a hotel but a palatial house where your most small request is considered. Some rooms feature a lake view, while others offer a direct view of Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain. Here's the place to turn your Arabic dream into reality and take in the local culture - perfect for a romantic vacation in Dubai. The hotel enjoys one of the best locations for shopping since both Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar are only five minutes away, which is especially interesting for those who prefer to explore the surroundings on foot.

The best way to enjoy the view from this beautifully designed hotel (after the privacy of your room or suite, naturally) would be to book a table at TABU’s rooftop, ranked as one of the finest Japanese restaurants in the city. When staying at this top hotel in Dubai, guests can enjoy a few laps at an infinity pool facing the water canal, experience six cuisines, and stay fit in the fully-equipped exercise room.

In Dubai, everything turns around the idea of surpassing expectations to impress visitors. Truthful to that principle, the high-end Paramount Hotel Midtown, the second Paramount hotel to debut in the Business Bay area, greets its guests with almost aerial views from its 64th-floor temperature-controlled infinity pool, which to us is the 'crème de la crème' of this fabulous property. One notices there has been an effort to attend to the unique needs of families, which is why many of the rooms and suites (whose décor has been inspired by California) are prepared to host more adults and children under the same roof. Concerning dining matters, the hotel has a diversified offer of five venues, ranging from an Italian restaurant to a café with stunning vistas.

A tremendous view of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, which rises to almost 830 meters, is what guests staying at the Address Downtown are in for. Due to the hotel's position on the opposite side of the Burj Khalifa, there's no better hotel in Dubai to admire this world-famous landmark fully. The Dubai Fountain, another beautiful sight with its unique water shows, can also be admired from the award-winning Address Downtown hotel. Here’s a suggestion: pick a room with a Burj Khalifa/Dubai Fountain view, take a (front-row) seat on your private balcony and spend some time contemplating the setting that presents before your eyes. When you're finished, feel invited to shop until you drop in one of the world's largest shopping centers: Dubai Mall, just around the corner. Also worth exploring is the nearby Souk Al Bahar, an outdoor area with several dining options. Speaking of dining options, don't miss a visit to Neos Bar on the 63rd floor of the Address Downtown - a fantastic bar to enjoy a drink with an upgraded view.

Best can certainly be subjective, we agree, but it is undeniable that Burj Al Arab is one the very best hotels one can find in Dubai. The distinct Burj Al Arab resembles a sailing ship, navigating its neighbor Jumeirah Beach Hotel (the one that looks like a sea wave). This opulent hotel invites guests to a gastro odyssey across the nine on-site signature restaurants.

Directly facing the soothing greenery of the Emirates Golf Club, the Taj Jumeirah Lakes Towers represent the finest Indian hospitality tradition in Dubai. Starting with the views, we can’t skip mentioning the 46th-floor panoramic pool, which is the ideal place to unwind and contemplate the prosperous Emirate from above. The hotel offers 200 well-appointed rooms and suites adorned with marble bathrooms and luxury finishes, featuring the most scenic views of Dubai Marina’s skyline or the nearby golf courses; to have the best of the two worlds, we’d go with one of the corner units. When night falls, we suggest pressing the 44th-floor lift button and having dinner at Nonya, the hotel’s highly regarded Pan Asian restaurant, displaying striking views of the twinkling lights of the city’s skyline.

The terrace rooms are the ones we enjoy the most: peaceful Dubai Creek water views with the Dubai skyline on the horizon, while the inevitable Burj Khalifa is also in sight. A final recommendation: proceed with making a reservation at the Boardwalk, a Mediterranean casual restaurant with unmatched views of Dubai’s skyline. The Park Hyatt Dubai is close to Dubai International Airport and 15 minutes away from Dubai city center.

We all know Dubai has the remarkable ability to surprise us. We present to you The Meydan Hotel, the world's first luxury trackside hotel. This one-of-a-kind hotel is about 20 minutes away from Dubai city center and a short drive away from Dubai International Convention Centre. The views? Well, the views available correspond to a panoramic perspective of the racetrack - exciting when the races are on, relaxing when no events occur. One of the features we also fancy about this five-star hotel is the size of the rooms - the smallest one would be the largest one in some luxury hotels worldwide we know. Excellent value for money if you're looking for a different experience and don't mind the 20 minutes-drive to Dubai city center. eveeqvv

Being less than an hour’s drive, visiting or even staying in the Dubai Desert for a few nights is a well-worthy experience. We suggest staying at the Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai, which delivers an unforgettable stay. While in the desert, engage in some exciting activities like dune bashing, sandboarding, and hot air ballooning.

We are so used to associating Dubai with mega-structures that we often forget that Dubai was built next to the desert. For a dramatic change, leave the city and arrive at the outstanding Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai, a hidden gem in the middle of the desert. The landscape couldn't be more spectacular as impressive dunes surround you. The suites have been built respecting traditional architecture and come with all the features one would expect from a world-class hotel. That being said, we genuinely believe the best way to spend time here will be outside your private accommodation: the range of desert activities is tempting and includes horseback riding, safaris, and camel trekking.
