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.

Having stayed at W Dubai – The Palm before, I knew I was in for a treat when I decided to return. My previous visit was absolutely amazing, and this stay managed to exceed even those high expectations! I used my Nightly Upgrade Awards for the Marvelous Jacuzzi Suite, and it was simply incredible. The suite is a masterpiece of design and luxury, with the jacuzzi being the ultimate highlight. It’s easily one of the best rooms I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. The service continues to be a hallmark of this property. A special thank you to Rudaina for her warm and attentive care that made us feel so valued. The entire team, from engineering to housekeeping and in-room dining, provided a seamless and exceptional experience. I look forward to coming back again for another unforgettable stay. Thank you to the entire team for consistently delivering excellence! -F Read less

From the friendly welcome at the reception, to the always perfectly clean room, the very good and rich breakfast, as well as the choice of restaurants right in the hotel to the friendly staff everywhere, everything was perfect. Especially we want to mention here: Romish, Wasana, Youssef, Amgad from LIV Restaurant. Gavaskar from Wet Deck and Anid and Pintu from Housekeeping. We came as guests but they treated us as friends.

So it's Dubai, it's never cheap to operate there, but our stay was nothing short of fantastic. This trendy and vibrant hotel is luxurious with plenty of energy. The beachfront location allowed us to soak up the sun, while the ever-full buffet delighted our taste buds daily. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful resort for switching off, this isn't it. Good quality, loud music around the adults only 'Wet Deck', you can still hear from the beach. If this is not for you, then look elsewhere. A special mention to the wonderful Chef Dinesh, who went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after, even crafting a memorable special meal for us on our last day. Ending our trip with sunset drinks at the chic rooftop bar was the perfect way to bid farewell to this stunning destination. Read less
