The Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah has a great location with impressive views from our room (Waldorf Astoria Suite) overlooking the Palm. The setting added a nice touch to our stay. The service was very friendly, including in the on-site restaurants. The staff made us feel welcomed and valued. For our wedding anniversary, the hotel organized special treats, which we appreciated. The rooms are spacious, providing plenty of space to relax. The hotel has a more traditional and classic vibe, which is ideal for those who prefer a classic ambiance (less suitable for an insta hype). Dining at the Asian restaurant was a highlight, with good food in a welcoming atmosphere. We stayed for one night at the end of our vacation in Dubai. It is a good choice if you want to enjoy some time in the city. The location, friendly service, special anniversary treats, spacious rooms, and good dining were all on the plus side of a pleasant experience. We can recommend the Pearl Club with it's tasty food and nice drinks along woth a positive atmosphere. Thanks to the whole team! Read less
