Hotels in Dubai: The Address, Downtown Dubai
By Kristie Hal

The Address, Midtown Dubai

It is a testament to the outrageous elevation of the Burj Khalifa that its 63-floor, neon-lit neighbor looks favorably stumpy in comparison; however if you desire an awesome sight of the world's highest structure, this is the ideal hotel (just see to it you define that's what you want when booking). It's best beside the Dubai Mall with its fish tank, movie theater and ice rink, and Souk Al Bahar, which is loaded with bars and restaurants, so if you aren't bothered about the coastline, you might gladly invest a whole short break right here.

Opened up in late 2008, it is split into hotel areas and houses, with the previous only inhabiting the 7th-12th floors. This indicates two points: initially, a consistent stock of resident bachelors will be prowling Neos, the top-floor Champagne bar, going to show you their in-room services (if you recognize exactly what we mean), and second, that the massive five-tiered infinity swimming pool that ignores the Dubai Fountain can get rather loaded at the weekend.

This remains in part offseted by the uniformed team, who are always hovering by your elbow to use you a cold towel and a piece of watermelon. Nonresidents rate too, for a day rate of AED 300. In addition to Neos, all the dining establishments and bars radiate out from the large entrance hall. Hukama constantly wins awards for its modern Chinese food; Fazaris gives excellent breakfast and deals with most cuisines greater than capably at lunch and dinner (they do a various all-you-can-eat buffet, from sushi to Indian, many evenings). The poolside bar Calabar is a humming nightspot, yet the team could be a little bit snotty - they have a routine of kicking you off empty tables 'in case a VIP comes' - and the beverages are a little overpriced.

Each space and suite is individually enhanced in the brand's trademark Arabic stylish, with cutwork displays, richly-coloured furnishings and flashy flatpanel TVs. If you really wish to sprinkle out, the four medspa suites on the 12th flooring are practically laughably massive, with - you thought it - a whirlpool bathtub and diverse loungers and daybeds on the terrace ignoring the Burj Khalifa.

Update to an Executive Club area and you will certainly obtain a VIP welcome service when you step off the airplane, exclusive limo flight terminal transfers, a full 24-hour remain whatever time you sign in and accessibility to a personal lounge with its own balcony.
