W Dubai - The Palm

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

Arguably the globe’s coolest name in hotels, the W has finally hit Dubai’s coveted Palm Jumeirah neighbourhood. Seriously stylish, it brings the W’s famous VIP vibe with it, with audacious design and décor, Michelin-starred master chefs at its signature dining venues, a spa that mixes chilled massages with playful party-prep treatments like coloured lashes, and chic hangout spaces like SoBe – a rooftop bar with 360 degree views over Dubai’s skyscrapers and the Arabian Sea. The fashionable feel continues down at W The Palm Dubai’s WET Deck, where you’ll find a pristine sandy shoreline, DJ booth, and space-age cabana pods sitting on pool-top platforms.

I stayed at this hotel. Mr. Richard (a very nice guy) welcomed us and took care of our luggage. During check-in, I had a technical problem, the receptionist (whose name I've forgotten, sorry!) did his utmost to help us, and with a lot of patience, thank you to him! Then his colleague Mr. Akhtar upgraded our room and also took care of check-out. Nice view from the terrace and outside the hotel, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset. The staff at the beach are nice too, not easy for them given the heat. The only thing that could be improved is the breakfast, which seems to lack a few things. In short, I recommend this hotel. Thank you all, I'll be back Inchaa'allah. Read less

Brilliant time at the W Hotel on The Palm. A warm and helpful welcome from the start. Stayed in a Wonderful Room, large (enough for us and our two boys to share a bed), with balcony and sea view - although the pool side view is more popular. We were half board, so enjoyed the wealth of what breakfast had to offer; always sitting outside in the warm sun and shade. Plus either using our voucher for a poolside lunch or evening buffet meal. A brilliant and popular kids club on offer as well. Which got mum and dad some time to enjoy the adult pool and swim up pool bar. All the pools were great though; perfect for the kids and to keep cool after some time on the sun loungers. Option to lounge on the private beach too. But the guys in control of the loungers, cabanas and pods were brilliant and looked after guests, and got us a pod one day too, tirelessly in the heat of the sun. Best hotel we’ve stayed at so far in Dubai, usually we go JBR way but we only had 4 nights so went full on R&R - and we would go back tomorrow. These hotels do really make you feel welcome and that you’re staying home from home (with a tad more glitter and glamour of course!). Read less
