You want the right address for your 2025 Dubai trip. Here’s where to book, why it matters, and how to use each stay.

Best 5-star Hotels in Dubai

• Atlantis The Royal, Palm Jumeirah: You come for the scale and stay for the dining. Think 15+ headline restaurants, including Michelin-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, plus the skybridge pool scene. Book a late lunch, then drift to Cloud 22 for sunset. 

• One&Only One Za’abeel: Two towers, one sky boulevard. The Link hangs above the city with chef-led concepts and a record-setting cantilever. Sleep cityside, dine sky-high, and plan one long evening crawl without leaving the building.
  
  

• The Lana, Dorchester Collection: A sharp urban stay on Marasi Bay with Foster + Partners architecture and refined service. You’ll like it for design-forward rooms and quick access to Downtown. Book dinner at Jara and walk the canal after.

• Burj Al Arab Jumeirah: Icon status, all suites, and a dedicated butler model. Reserve Al Muntaha for views or a pool day at SAL. If you’ve never done it, do it at least once in time for a sunset over the Gulf.
  
  

• Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach: A beachfront base that still keeps you close to the city. Start at Sea Fu, end at Hendricks Bar, and slot a spa hour between outings or mall runs. 

• Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai: Club access, strong food and beverage options, and a family-friendly beach. Use it as a calm counterpoint to your busy itinerary. Book dinner on property to save the transfer. 
  
  

• Bulgari Resort Dubai: Low-key glamour on Jumeira Bay with a private yacht club. It reads boutique but delivers full-resort polish. 

• Armani Hotel Dubai: Inside Burj Khalifa. Elevators move you from room to “At The Top” and back to dinner in minutes. It screams luxury and is perfect when you want Downtown at your feet.
  
  

• Jumeirah Al Naseem (Madinat Jumeirah): Modern rooms, turtle lagoon access, and abra links across the resort. It’s your flexible, resort-meets-city choice with restaurant variety at your fingertips.

• Raffles The Palm: Grand rooms on the West Crescent and an easy beach day built in. Book a private car for quick runs to dinner on the trunk.
  
  

Boutique Hotels Dubai

• Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Dubai: Beachfront, design-led, and social when you want it. Do a late cabana, early dinner, and a quiet walk back to your room.
• ME Dubai by Meliá: Zaha Hadid’s curves, central location, and a lobby that doubles as a photo stop. Good for design hunters who still want easy Downtown access.
