Rove Downtown Dubai

Dubai City, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

Delivering photo ops of Burj Khalifa, Rove Downtown doesn’t just place you near this sky-piercing landmark, it’s also just a walk from The Dubai Mall, The Dubai Fountain, and attractions like Kidzania, Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. In fact, as its name implies, it’s the perfect pied-a-terre for roaming around downtown Dubai. You can return to base to swim in its outdoor pool, unwind on its sun deck, or work out in its 24-hour gym. And, if you’re not dining out, FRIDAY’S features a fabulous fusion of Arabic, Western, Indian, and Southeast Asian dishes, along with weekend brunches (and takeaways if you’re eager to keep exploring). Being a ‘rover’s’ rest stop, it has plenty of handy essentials too, like the 24-hour laundromat, 24-hour boutique, and complimentary WiFi in your spacious room (which you get to stay in until 2:00pm on your last day).

We have been coming to Dubai every year since 2019 and are always at Rove Downtown. What was initially more of a chance visit now feels like coming home. We love it here. We know many of the employees from the first visit and it is the best feeling when you are greeted almost like friends. The hotel has become even better with the new bar. The short distance to the Dubai Mall (a free shuttle bus runs several times a day - punctual to the minute) makes the journey easier in these temperatures. The breakfast buffet is rich and delicious. You can have a great meal at TGI Fridays for lunch and dinner. The pool offers breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa. It's sad that Mr. Lali couldn't be here, but the joy was even greater to see Singh Ami Rajput again. We have been friends since day 1. Thank you for everything. Read less
