Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, Dubai
Expert reviews
“Not only is the five-star Kempinski hotel a shopper’s dream (it’s attached to Mall of the Emirates), it looks out onto the most bizarre scene in the desert — Ski Dubai, one of the largest manmade ski slopes on the planet.”
“The stately Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, with its regal domes and impressive façades, has the unusual distinction of being a ski resort in the Dubai desert.”
“This novel snow-and-sun destination – famous for offering cosy ski chalets in the desert – is also a magnet for shoppers, attached to an indoor ski park and Mall of the Emirates. From Valencian paella to Levantine falafels, the food is another draw, best enjoyed between exotic cocktails at Noir bar.”

Fabulous stay with an exceptional service
Had lounge access and took breakfast at level 2, where there was made-to-order options and afternoon tea / pre-dinner at level 11. There were diverse offerings including Indian (3 main courses which didn’t change over the 7 days of stay - it is my only wish they had changed a bit) and the quality of food was excellent, especially Dosas, Waffles, Pan cakes, and French toasts
Rooms are due for renovation after almost 10 years though all are functional and nearly perfect.

Very good location , the mall is connected so there are activities close by. The breakfast is good yet maybe adding more variety as every day it’s the same or almost the same
Not activities for children inside the hotel which makes it not very children friendly. For couples it’s perfect

A wonderful stay with excellent service, great facilities, and a prime location that truly reflects a high standard of h
The hotel’s location is exceptional, and I was very impressed by the recent renovations, especially in the restaurants—the variety, design, and overall ambiance were excellent. The newly renovated pool was also a great improvement. Most importantly, the level of service was outstanding; the staff were extremely professional, welcoming, and attentive, exceeding expectations.
There was nothing that I didn’t like.

Another visit at the Kempinski Mall of the Emirates
The location connected to Mall of Emirates, the friendly supportive pleasant staff, the breakfast delicious with big variety options, the cleanliness and quietness of the rooms, and offcourse the ladies in red accommodation special occasions needs. Seem like I feel compelled to revisit this hotels. This is my 2nd stay and review. Last visit was a year ago.

More than Perfect
I must say that I have stayed in many hotels around the world, but without a doubt, this is the best hotel I have ever experienced, by a significant margin compared to others worldwide. The value for money is outstanding. The rooms are impeccably clean, the service is flawless, professional, and genuinely kind, and the breakfast is absolutely exceptional. The gym is of the highest standard I have ever encountered. In short — perfect, perfect, perfect.

Excellent establishment …highly recommended
This is not our first stay at this Hotel ….we love it and we continue to stay there whenever possible. Breakfast personnel are extremely courteous and accommodating. Gabal, Hani, Moses & Salma were constantly exceeding our expectations in customer service and attention.
We preferred the breakfast hall and bakery offering on the first floor compared to the current Aspen Ground Floor breakfast…but that’s just our opinion.

A truly memorable stay with impeccable service and heartfelt hospitality.
Our stay at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates exceeded all our expectations. From the very first moments, we felt genuine care and attention from the entire team — this is a place where true hospitality is delivered at the highest level. We would like to sincerely thank the hotel for the beautifully prepared room and the lovely birthday surprise — it was a very touching gesture and truly memorable. The room itself was magnificent: luxurious, thoughtfully designed, with impeccable cleanliness and outstanding housekeeping quality. We would highly recommend future guests not to miss the opportunity to enjoy access to the Executive Lounge. Afternoon tea and evening canapés are not just a pleasant bonus, but a refined and well-curated experience. Breakfasts in the lounge deserve special praise as well — refined, high-quality cuisine served in a calm and elegant atmosphere. With special warmth, we would like to commend the lounge team, and especially Haitham, for his attentive and genuinely caring attitude. It is employees like him who make you feel not just like a guest, but truly welcomed and valued. We would be delighted to return to this hotel and can confidently recommend it to those who appreciate comfort, outstanding service, and a genuine sense of care.
Honestly, nothing major — the stay was very comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. The only downside was that it felt too short.
