I highly recommend the JW marriott if you need another option. Their lounge is one of the best 👌🏼

You are right, not that close to the beach

I live on the Palm!

Westin, definitely not on the palm

Westin; the Palm is suuuuper hard to get on and off especially the W’s location

If I were you I may actually choose the Sheraton Marina, better location

A bit too basic, looking for something more luxurious

I believe the Grosvenor House is by far the best Bonvoy hotel in Dubai (at least for business stays, I have lived there as a long hauler +5months). Staying at the GH you have access to all the resort area of the Royal Meridien. It is very cheap to book it with points as it is below its real category level.

+1. Stayed there a few months for a project and fully agree.

I haven’t stayed there yet, but just booked the Ritz Dubai for my honeymoon. Lounge sounds great and the pictures make it look wonderful - it’s right on the beach next to the palm.
