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.”

As always comfortable and great.
Love everything about the property. Always makes me feel like I’m home. Just the entire atmosphere and vibe of the hotel is great.
So the only thing that didn’t meet expectations is the pool. Doesn’t give infinity pool feels and even though it says temperature controlled during winter - the pool water was very cold.

The service from the staff is absolutely exceptional. Professional and accomodating. Mark at the lounge was as always very helpful and so was Kingsley at concierge services.

Amazing hotel and great staff. Recommended.
The staff were amazing. From the valet to the front desk and house keeping, everyone was amazing and polite. We got a free room upgrade too. Wifi was decent, amazing breakfast and seating area. Location wise it was perfect, right next to the Mall of Emirates, and 20-30mins from all other major locations in Dubai. You get free car parking if you are a hotel guest.
The view from our room wasn't the best, but it wasn't too big of a deal for us. One thing that needs improvement in the room is the light switches. They all look very old and used. They certainly need to be changed. The cabinet doors closed with a bang, so I think soft-close hinges would be a nice thing to add. We noticed on our second day that there was some construction going on above our room. Although it happened only during the day (even on the weekends), it was still very annoying and very loud. We did not ask to be moved as we were only there for a few nights, and it did not happen at night time.

Perfect hotel for a stay in Dubai

An excellent experience wanting me to come back again and again.
Out of many Kempinski, where I've stayed - this property has exceeded my expectations by far. Truly a 5 star experience in personnel training and approach, facilities, dining and comfort. In fact it made me not want to leave the hotel for any other restaurants, because you have so much choice in the hotel and it is simply impossible to taste all the great things in the variety offered on site cuisine.
Nothing at all.

Exceptional room, service, and staff.
Everything about this was fantastic! The room, the staff, the service…..all exceptional. We were in an executive suite…. the room was wonderful and so was the executive lounge. We had breakfast in the lounge, as well as evening canapés and drinks.
The quality of the facility and exceptional service of the staff made this visit one of my best stays yet!

Excellent hotel just needs a slight bit of tweaking for a 5 star hotel
Fantastic room (suite), good service most of time, great options for restaurants and lovely pool. Breakfast fantastic.
Service not quite up to 5 stars: - reception phoned our room at 8:30pm on first night to check how our stay was. As we were travelling with baby who was asleep by this point, it was frustrating as it woke baby - the night before our departure we asked for someone to collect our luggage 5 mins before our taxi arrived the following morning (all booked through concierge). No one showed up so we had to phone down and the receptionist said they didn’t know about it. That was a bit stressful and we ended up leaving hotel 10 mins late - great location in mall but public transport in Dubai is slow so took quite a while to get to Downtown and the Palm

Wonderful location and can be a great bargain if you book ahead of time
The location with a direct access to the mall of emirates is just phenomenal. Access to metro station from the mall is also a plus but it’s a lot of walking. The location is also close to many things around Dubai like dubai hills, arab tower, JBR. Renting a car is also possible through the thrifty office in the mall so you can pick up and drop the car at the mall
Hard to find anything bad here

Perfect hotel in a not so perfect location.

Pool was mainly in the shade most of the day. Road works near the hotel diverted us which extended every journey.

Short and sweet, for those who love shopping it's very convienient!!!
Breakfast was awesome!!! Room size this time i got a smaller room - Superior room which was quite small but still very clean. The hotel was full which shows that demand is high. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes shopping!!!

Great hardworking staff, next to Emirates Mall but no gym.
Used excellent products. Managers very responsive especially Hashem in the lobby. Staff very hardworking but often got the vibe that they were not respected by their superiors or appreciated (this is really a GCC countries issue).
No gym. No nursery. Room couldn’t be made pitch black. Pricey. Breakfast predictable and dim sum served cold.

Amazing
The staff are wonderful, polite, kind, and quick to respond to satisfy the guest and work for his comfort. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the food is delicious, whether in the rooms or the restaurant. In addition, there is the Emirates Mall with a direct entrance to it. This is the fifth year in a row that I have booked there, and I do not intend to change it.
