Hotel Palace Downtown, Dubai

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Blvd - Dubai, United Arab Emirates (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“City explorers with a romantic streak will be utterly enchanted by this low-lying, luxe lakefront contender with its winning alchemy of old-world class and Arabic aesthetics. Rooms are chic and understated.”

Telegraph review:

“The Palace – located in the heart of Downtown, an area dubbed ‘The Centre of Now’ – neighbours Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, two reasons many visitors come to Dubai. Its position on a man-made lake, handful of good restaurants, and palm tree-lined pool makes the resort an urban oasis for shopped-out sightseers.”

The Location is incredible, property is honestly so serene and quite, loved everything about it, the services, the staff, the food.

Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend

My family and I stayed at Palace Downtown while we had to wait for our connecting flight to Sydney, 15 hr layover. We found the service attentive and the room large and clean. Our stay was brief, however we were impressed with the service and convenient location.

More bathroom accessories i.e. toothbrush, hairbrush

A Dream Stay at Palace Downtown – Pure Magic!

From the moment we stepped into Palace Downtown, we were swept away by the charm, elegance, and pure luxury this hotel is known for. Nestled right by the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain, the location alone is unbeatable—but what truly set this stay apart was everything else. Let’s start with breakfast—absolutely phenomenal. A lavish spread with global options, freshly made dishes, and perfect service. We genuinely looked forward to waking up for it every morning. The beds? Heavenly. Some of the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced—like sinking into a cloud after a long day of exploring Dubai. We slept like royalty. And the staff… words fall short. Every interaction felt personal and sincere. The hospitality was out of this world—gracious, attentive, and always two steps ahead. From the concierge to the waitstaff, everyone made us feel truly special. Palace Downtown has a reputation for blending traditional Arabian architecture with modern luxury—and it delivers on every level. Whether you’re here for the view, the proximity to Dubai Mall, or just to relax, this hotel is the real deal.

Excellent location, such a close walk to the mall and the fountain. Pool area, although small, was beautiful and great service. Breakfast buffet very diverse with great selections. Spa was very tranquil with a good selection of services. A wonderful Arabian themed hotel.

An unforgetable wonderful travel experience

The location was ideal as some of the most famous sightseeing highlights were in walking distance. The whole staff did a perfect job, which contributed to our wonderful travel experience.

We booked a room towards the fountain side and when checking in we were informed that we only have a partial view. That was a disappointing start.

Spectacular

Staying at The Palace Hotel in Dubai was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the impeccable service and warm hospitality. The architecture and interior design are a perfect blend of traditional Arabian elegance and modern luxury, creating a truly majestic atmosphere. The room was spacious, beautifully furnished, and offered stunning views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain. Every detail was thoughtfully curated—from the plush bedding to the high-end amenities. Dining at the hotel was another highlight. The restaurants offered a variety of international and local cuisines, all prepared with top-quality ingredients and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to go the extra mile to make each meal memorable. The location couldn’t be better—right next to the Dubai Mall and within walking distance of many major attractions, yet the hotel felt like a peaceful oasis amidst the city’s hustle. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, The Palace Hotel offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. I can’t recommend it enough and would return in a heartbeat.

Great place to stay in Dubai

Superb location, spectacular views from the hotel, and walking distance to mainstream places in downtown Dubai. On top, all staff members that we interacted with from the front desk check-in/check-out to complimentary valet services, including the hotel restaurants and lounges staff, provided exceptional service and were very helpful. Rooms and facilities at the hotel were very comfortable, super clean, and had ample space. A true 5 star.

Nothing in particular. The hotel provided adequate attention to our requirements.

Wonderful hotel with charm and atmosphere. Excellent staff, food and cleanliness

I liked the range of food available

I do not like buffet meals, and as the cooked eggs are already taken to the tables, a full table waited service would: Be more efficient, more personal, and less chaotic. Any vacated tables should be cleared instantly to dissuade the birds. Guests should be asked Not to feed the birds as it encourages them.

Possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in

We had a memorable and opulent stay at this oasis of luxury and peace in the middle of busy Dubai Downtown. The hotel brings a feeling of old Arabian castle amidst the ultramodern skyline and there was something special (maybe it was the spirit of Ramadan..) in the whole atmosphere of Palace Downtown that made us feel very happy to be there. The service during the whole duration of our stay was impeccable and we were treated like royals. Breakfast was possibly the best I've had. Our room was spacious and tidy and the view to the fountain and hotel gardens took our breath away. We didn't spesifically request a room with a view but got it regardless. The location was convenient for accessing all the necessities around Downtown and we saw the fountain show right from Thiptara's restaurant and bar. Dubai Downtown is terribly expensive place to be, but I'll have to say this hotel wasn't the most expensive when it comes to the price of dining, afternoon tea etc. Obviously it is a luxury hotel priced accordingly, but you don't have to be a millionaire to stay here!

Magical location

This is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in Dubai . The location is 10/10 your in the heart of Dubai , with burj khalifa in front of you , the fountain show and the shopping mall is on your doorstep . The Souk bazaar and Dubai Mall are all linked to the hotel so the location is amazing. There is so much to do and keep you busy . The hotel was so beautiful the staff was amazing . Sido in particular at reception was so sweet . In room dining and Thiptara restaurant was magical as we had our anniversary/valentines meal there an burj khalifa was right in front of us ! The most magical night of my life and thank you to the restaurant staff for doing this for me ! When ever I stay in Dubai now this is the hotel I’ll be coming back to !
