Downtown Dubai is where you’ll find both the Dubai Mall, which is the world’s largest mall, and the Burj Khalifa - which has been the world’s tallest building since 2008. It’s also home to the Dubai Fountain, which is the world’s largest choreographed fountain system. And the Souq Al Bahar, a luxurious Arabian market. And the best hotels in Downtown Dubai have views of these biggest/tallest winners, and many more impressive sights.
Downtown Dubai isn’t all impressive new builds, the Old Town area is in the original, low-rise Arabic style, and has some graceful old buildings, lively markets and some more traditional restaurants, but most of this area is big, confident and modern.
Downtown Dubai also has a very beautiful opera house, an Olympic size ice rink, an aquarium and underwater zoo, and numerous viewing towers and lookouts, including one on the 124th floor of Burj Khalifa - this is an impressive city and really deserves to be seen from every angle.
If you want all the glitz and glamour Dubai can muster you need The Address Downtown Dubai, a luxurious skyscraper with seven swimming pools, an immaculate spa, award winning restaurants, private everything and wonderful views of the Burj Khalifa.
The Palace Downtown Dubai is a classic hotel which bridges the gap between the modern glass giants and a sultanate palace. One of the best places to stay in Dubai if you're looking for comfort and elegance - there's a relaxed, almost colonial air, and not too much flash.
Al Manzil is a comfortable choice, with chic, contemporary and the all important temperature controlled pool and spa facilities. There’s also a choice of excellent restaurants. And some of the 197 rooms and suites have fantastic views of the Burj Khalifa.
