UAE: Hotel Review - Jumeirah Emirates Towers Offers An Inspiring 5 Star Staycation

Jumeirah Emirates Towers, famous for its soaring atrium that’s Dubai’s favorite business spot, offers ample facilities, including 400 rooms and eight meeting suites, 11 dining and nightlife venues, including award-winning restaurants such as The Rib Room and Al Nafoorah, a large ballroom, the Biz Hub, and outdoor venues for business and social events.

With views overlooking Dubai’s financial district and located just a 5-minute drive from Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC) and 2 minutes from Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC).

Jumeirah Emirates Towers is the one of the few hotels in the area to offer unlimited complimentary access to Wild Wadi Waterpark™ and Jumeirah's private beach throughout your stay.

Jumeirah Emirates Towers is the most enjoyable staycation you can have this summer.

From the second you step foot into the hotel, you feel the hospitality from every single person you will meet.

Jumeirah Emirates Towers has been around for 18 years and is one of the region’s most iconic buildings and it is after all part of the Dubai skyline.

The two equilateral triangles are both an office tower and a hotel, and in between, the Boulevard, an upscale retail and dining complex.

Jumeirah Emirates Towers has a reputation of being a business hotel, however you can be there for 100 per cent pleasure and it will cater to that too.

It’s located in Dubai’s financial district, which means you are close to work - Trade Centre, DIFC and a short drive away from play the Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, and the many famous DIFC restaurants. Which means that people can easily switch between business and leisure, just like that.

One of the best features of Jumeirah Emirates Towers are the rooms. They have spacious, comfortable rooms with so many little details that make the stay just that bit more interesting.

The most eye catching factor is the floor-to-ceiling windows, which offer views across the city. You will have the Dubai Frame view, which you will see from your bed, which by the way is incredibly comfortable that almost every guest you will speak to will tell you they cannot get out of theirs.

The hotel has 400 rooms and suites, all with a modern design and high-end finishes.

There is a floor in the hotel dedicated to women only. On level 40 is the Chopard Ladies floor.

It is a private accommodation and some of the in-room amenities include yoga mats, a cosmetics fridge and of course, Chopard bathing products, which you will also have in your bathroom.

The hotel has got a great pool, which has uninterrupted sun from 12pm until sunset. Their Talise Spa should be on every guest’s list of things to do.

Try their organic Hungarian facial there, which is so calming and I smells like a field of flowers for the rest of the day.

If you are staying at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, you also get to enjoy a host of benefits, including unlimited access to Wild Wadi Waterpark and for Dh35 per person, the private beach at Jumeirah Beach Hotel and high-speed wireless internet access for the duration of the stay.

The hotel has really stepped up its restaurant offerings in the last few years. It is home to nine eateries, not including those outside of the hotel, in the boulevard, which means you have a lot of options to choose from.

This summer, Jumeirah has introduced their new campaign of 90 ways to enjoy summer in the UAE and number six on the list is probably one of a kind.

It’s a very unusual and unique experience that is nowhere else. Emirates Towers offers a five-course dinner in a glass elevator. You start on the ground floor and move up eight floors every course until you end on the 40th floor.

The Rib Room and the Rib Room Bar

A New York-inspired steakhouse celebrated for its prime cuts of meat and elegant atmosphere. An extension of the steakhouse, The Rib Room Bar serves bar bites, classic lunch options and quality beverages.

Foodies can also tackle the huge variety of different meat cuts with a masterclass hosted by the Master Butcher at The Rib Room, Jumeirah Emirates Towers complete with a three course lunch for just Dh325 per person.

Mundo

The main restaurant at the hotel is where you enjoy your breakfast. The lobby-level restaurant celebrates four distinct flavours and cooking styles: Mediterranean, Arabic, Indian and Asian.

Alta Badia

It is all about honest Italian cuisine and skyline views at Alta Badia. It’s on the 50th floor, so perfect place to catch the sunset. The Alta Badia Bar is on level 51.

Lobby Lounge

Located on the ground floor of Jumeirah Emirates Towers, the Lobby Lounge serves light snacks and refreshments throughout the day.

La Cantine du Faubourg

One of my favourite French spots in town. This celebrated Parisian hang-out, which first opened at Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris more than a decade ago, serves modern French cuisine from its ground-floor location in Emirates Towers.

Recommendation

If you are looking for an affordable five-star stay with amazing and hospitable staff as well as a range of dining options, Jumeirah Emirates towers is a great option.

It’s central and a focused business hotel that doesn’t always feel like a business hotel, if you’re going entering with a playful mind-set. Despite the bustling area that the hotel is located at, one second on that hotel room bed and all your stress is forgotten.
