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.

We are returning family of 5 to the W, our reasons for returning… Surprisingly family friendly! The rooms are amazing and very spacious, we booked adjoining rooms. Both with balconies overlooking the pool area. The food is of such a high standard, we compared to the atlantis and agree the W is a better breakfast! The decor is BEAUTIFUL, contemporary. The kids club…. Is great, accessible from the pool and within the hotel, the staff are amazing and my kids used to ask to go (always a good sign) Bug shout out to Mario from 2022, he went above and beyond and made such an effort with my kids. We were sad to see he was mo longer there when we returned this year. Pool area, we personally really loved the separate pools beside the cabanas. Ideal for keeping the kids near by and within view. All have a shallow level before stepping down to a deeper swimming depth. valet parking guys are super friendly, have our car ready when we ask, and were great with the kids! We left a wallet and sunglasses in a taxi once… it beat us back to the hotel…when we came to report it lost it was already there. Overall, this hotel ticks all the boxes 👍🏼 Food Decor Rooms and balconies Friendliness of staff Friendly housekeeping It smells amazing! Pool Kids club Restaurants, roof terrace! Read less

Moses, the door captain, provided excellent service. He was courteous, friendly, and makes you feel welcomed. He gave excellent advise for sights and navigating Dubai. Moses is a great choice for the first person you encounter at the hotel.
