Fodor's Expert Review Grand Hyatt Dubai

Sheikh Rashid Rd., Umm Hurair, Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

As Bur Dubai's largest hotel, with a colossal 600 rooms and almost 200 serviced apartments, this property makes a real statement. The building is designed in two sweeping sensuous curves and is surrounded by 37 acres of beautifully manicured grounds on Dubai Creek. On-site amenities are extensive, including an ample choice of eateries, a nightclub, kids club, cinema, and a large sports club. Big free-form pools sit among tropical gardens. Public areas are on a grand scale, decorated with flourishes and flounces popular in the 1980s. Rooms are spacious with a classic international design, including pale stone, and tan and brown hues. The Grand Hyatt has excellent conference facilities and often holds large conventions.

PROS

  • wide range of quality activities on-site
  • excellent pools and gardens

CONS

  • very large hotel that risks being impersonal
  • kids' club is a paid activity for five years and over
