The Palace Downtown Dubai
Our Opinion of The Palace Downtown Dubai
The Palace Downtown Dubai sits on The Old Town Island, right at the heart of the city's most dynamic quarter. Overlooking the lake and the Burj Khalifa, it is a hotel that leans into Arabian character with its warm Middle Eastern interiors, archways and rich colour palette. The position is hard to beat: the Dubai Fountain and The Dubai Mall are both within a short walk, and the hotel connects directly to Souk Al Bahar, which makes exploring feel effortless.
Every room and suite comes with its own private balcony, and the views are a genuine highlight whether you look out towards the Burj Khalifa, the fountain or the Old Town. The 242 rooms are well proportioned and decorated with regional fabrics and detailing that give them a sense of place. The hotel offers a proper array of dining options: an Argentinean grill, a Thai restaurant overlooking the lake, an all-day Oriental restaurant, and a chic cocktail lounge with a front-row seat of the Burj Khalifa. The spa is well equipped with treatment suites, hammam facilities and hydro spas, and there is a good-sized outdoor pool and fitness centre.
This is a hotel that suits couples and city-break travellers who want to be in the thick of things without sacrificing calm. It has a more intimate, less towering feel than many Dubai properties, which is part of its appeal. The shuttle service to major malls and the 24-hour check-in for suites add practical ease.
For anyone looking to experience the energy of Downtown Dubai from a base with genuine character, The Palace is a strong and distinctive choice.
