Totally agree with Grosvenor House / Le Royal Meridien, the second being resort-like. Still, if you stay at the GH you can access the RM’s resort facilities (available shuttle between properties).
I visited the JW some days ago as I was considering moving (now staying at the GH for the last 2 months) as it is closer to the core of restaurants and malls in Downtown, but did not like it because 1) super crowded hotel (GH much quieter), smaller rooms, less things to do within the premises.
If going there Oct - May, Dubai Marina (where GH and RM are located) is quite a nice area.
GH is a great Hotel, I prefer the facilities to RM. RM is great because you don‘t need to jump on a shuttle to get to the resort
I’m going in early September ... hope it won’t be too crazy hot still
Inshallah it should be 30-35C, which is ok to enjoy pools and beach
Depends on your budget but the JW Marriott Marquis and W Palm Jumeirah are solid
Thanks. I thought about getting the W with points but doesn’t seem to make much sense. 168 usd or 60k points per night.
I really enjoyed the Royal Meridien and Grosvenor House when I was in the region (for Families go to the Royal Meridien)
Btw, the Habtoor Grand (located between the GH and the RM) seems quite a nice place for families as well. Can anyone comment on it?
