The Waldorf Astoria Dubai is an amazing hotel and resort for your stay in Dubai. From our first communication long before we arrived to our last minutes at the hotel, the hotel staff provided world-class service. First, the facilities are beautiful. Everything looks and feels brand new with a clean modern and elegant feel. The lobby is spacious and a great place to meet friends, family, or your upcoming tour guide. Our room was spacious with a superb sea view, cleaned daily and stocked with plenty of water and coffee. The balcony is an ideal spot to sit in the morning or late in the evening as you unwind from the day (smoking is permitted!). The hotel has a beautiful pool area and a beach area, both outfitted with comfortable chairs and attentive staff. The beach is exceptionally clean and suitable for walks in the evening. Onto the food at the hotel. While we didn't eat a formal dinner in any of the restaurants (simply because we were always out), we did eat breakfast in one of the restaurants every day as well as visiting the lounge for snacks throughout the day. The Pearl Lounge on the 5th floor always had wonderful treats to eat with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the bar on the ground level makes a fabulous Old Fashioned. The morning breakfast in the restaurant on the lower level had so many options for food and seating and we looked forward to starting our day there. The staff at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai is exceptional. They anticipated our needs and we could not want for anything. I'd like to give a special mention to Sheena in the Pearl Lounge who greeted us every day and helped us with our excursions. Another outstanding staff member is Ahmed at the travel desk who worked late at night to set up a trip for us for the next day. I wish I could remember everyone's names because everyone treated us very well. To balance all the wonderful things, we did have a few minor issues. The hair dryer in the room cannot be used in the bathroom or the bedroom- only in the closet area (for safety reasons). We did have some trouble with the air conditioning, in that we couldn't quite set it to have a low fan setting at night (my fault according to my wife). The toiletry bottles all look the same, making it confusing trying to select a shampoo versus hand soap. And the bathrobes were super thick for the weather. The greatest compliment I can say for the Waldorf Astoria Dubai is that we will stay here again without hesitation. Read less

Our family’s extensive travels led us to discover one of the finest hotels, situated on the palm with outstanding facilities. Noteworthy features include a well-equipped gym, diverse restaurant options, and rooms with delightful balconies. Special gems like Sunset 55, offering a beachside relaxation and dining experience, Serafina Lounge with a unique speakeasy vibe, and the Pearl Club (executive lounge) further enriched our stay. However, what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional staff. Their courtesy, professionalism, and patience left a lasting impression. Personalized touches like addressing us by name daily, attentiveness to our needs, and a delightful surprise room decoration with a cake for our anniversary reflected their dedication. The concierge and trip desk further enhanced our stay with valuable recommendations for restaurants and tours. Undoubtedly, this has been one of our best stays ever, and we eagerly anticipate a return visit to recreate this exceptional experience. Read less

We have just come back from 8 nights at Waldorf Astoria and we had the most incredible stay. Everything was a 10 out of 10 and I could not recommend it enough. From their customer service, to all the staff, to the food, to all the facilities everything was just perfect and our stay was made extra special with everything they had done for us. Our room was so beautiful and the view was just amazing. We want to say an extra special thank you to Borzo, Shenel and Dinesh by the pool and Aliya, Eshan at Lao for making our stay so amazing. We can't wait to come back next year. Thank you so much again for everything. Read less
