Grosvenor House West Marina Beach By Le Meridien

Probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Service was amazing including your own personal butler.

Would definitely recommend this hotel. Only negative is the need to cross the road to its sister hotel to use the beach facilities.

This hotel is ideally situated for shopping at the many malls in Dubai, especially the Emirates Mall.

Unique Quality: Barr 44 has some spectacular views and the food at the Indego by Vineet was without doubt the best indian food I have ever tasted, and living in Birmingham, UK that say's a lot!

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

We booked a three bedroom apartment and it exceeded our expectations. The room size was larger than we expected, it was well furnished and the beds were similar to Westin's Heavenly Beds - if you cannot get a good night's sleep in these beds .....

From the moment we arrived to the moment that we left, we experienced a high level of service from the staff. The bell staff were smart, professional and helped entertain our young children when we found ourselves at the front of the hotel. The front desk staff were professional and efficient as you would hope after a long journey. Finally, the F&B staff across all outlets were spot on and could not be faulted in their efficiency and dealing with our needs - one night a friend managed to spill some wine on his shirt and the waiter disappeared to find him a replacement shirt (it wasn't necessary but it was a thoughtful and welcome touch)

The hotel has a number of high end restaurants and bars and therefore in the evenings we rarely had to leave the hotel (which was a benefit as we could stay close to the children and their nanny).

One night we dined in an excellent Michelin star Indian restaurant, another was in a Gary Rhodes restaurant plus there is the famous Buddha Bar as well as a great bar at the top of the hotel.

The breakfast buffet was one of the best that we have encountered in a 5 star hotel. A large range of food catering for every taste - and as we were two families with a lot of young children the staff were great in taking care of us.

Nice little touches were the complementary valet parking and wifi.

The driveway was always full of Ferraris, Porsches, Rolls Royces etc which my two young boys loved .... even though they can barely pronounce the words.

Whilst we were there for a family holiday, we would have been just as happy as a couple having a romantic break or with a group of friends to enjoy the nightlife.

Finally, when we were researching where to stay in Dubai, Grosvenor House was also one of the best value options amongst its peer group so we were very well satisfied.

Unique Quality: When paired with the beach access and resort pools of the Royal Meridien, the Grosvenor House has absolutely everything that you could ask for in a luxury break

Directions: In the Jumeriah part of Dubai

Run by le Méridien, the Grosvenor House hotel is one of the group's most luxurious hotels in Dubai. It is located in the Dubai Marina area with views of the Gulf and Palm Island. The hotel's service and amenities are great and meet the reputation of Dubai's excellence. The hotel has a nice spa and some superb restaurants. Also, located just outside the hotel is Buddha Bar, a fantastic place to have a drink. The only problem with the hotel is the terribly noisy construction just outside which could be heard at times in the rooms. I stayed at this hotel in Feb 2008 on a business trip to the UAE and would stay here again for sure, hopefully the construction will be over by then.

Service, excellent, rooms, excellent, food, excellent. Service ( again!) excellent.

The people who work here, are very kind. A humbling encounter.

All round a 9/10 points over all

Not cheap but well worth it.

Unique Quality: Nice spa facilities, excellent restaurants. The world famous Buddha Bar is attached to it. Great place, a must see for all you party people.

Book in advance. Very busy - they serve alcohol.

With 45 stories one of the landmarks in the new Marina Area. I have booked a "normal" room and was upgraded to a club floor room at the 31 floor with a fantastic view about the sea! The hotel was opened in 2005 so you will find all the high tec toys like big flat screens, remote control for the lighting system etc.. The staff is very friendly and helpful! The pool area is fine, but the noise from the construction work around is bad... so for a short swim its ok, if you like to relax, the hotel has a shuttle to another Le Meridien at the beach (5 minutes, but you cant work). There you have several pools and the beach. The pool service is great, you get cools towels and small fruits for free.
One of the best things was the Club Lounge at the top floor... they serve all kinds of drinks and a small food selection around the day (all complementary).
Its in the middle of an construction work area... so its not possible to walk around the hotel...
I will definitely recommend this if you are on a business trip and your meeting is in this area!

Unique Quality: Great sea view, friendly staff and a fantastic bar (Buddha Bar) and you get Bulgari bath amenities. If you like very modern and exclusive hotels... the Grosvenor House is your choice!
