🌇 As someone who has lived in the UAE for over 10 years, I often help tourists choose not only interesting routes, but also the best places to stay. Today, an honest comparison of three luxury hotels in Dubai: Atlantis The Royal, Burj Al Arab, and Armani Hotel. Each of them is impressive, but each in its own way.
1. 🐚 Atlantis The Royal
📍 Palm Jumeirah
Interior and style:
Atlantis The Royal is the epitome of futuristic luxury. The architecture resembles giant blocks stacked on top of each other. Inside there is marble, glass, copper details and water. The hotel opened in 2023 and has since become a symbol of a new era in Dubai.
Pros:
- The highest infinity pool on the Palm
- Restaurants from Michelin-starred chefs
- A huge spa complex
- A private beach with perfect cleanliness
Cons:
- Above average room rates
- A large number of guests during peak seasons
2. 🌊 Burj Al Arab
📍 Jumeirah Beach
Interior and style:
Burj Al Arab needs no introduction — the “sail” of Dubai has been a legend since the late 90s. The interior is a mixture of Arabic classics and golden luxury. Everything here is done “to the max”: from private butlers to staircases covered with gold leaf.
Pros:
- Exclusive service
- Private island
- Unique two-story suites
- Helipad and restaurant at altitude
Disadvantages:
- The interior may seem outdated
- A very closed format — not for everyone
3. 🖤 Armani Hotel Dubai
📍 Burj Khalifa
Interior and style:
Armani Hotel is minimalism, style and privacy. It is located right inside the Burj Khalifa. The interiors were created personally by Giorgio Armani: soft lines, neutral colors, luxury without excess.
Pros:
- Ideal for a secluded holiday
- Panoramic view of the Dubai Fountain
- Direct access to Dubai Mall
- Perfect service
Cons:
- Less suitable for families with children
- Calm atmosphere – not for everyone
