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.”

A great family option to stay in Dubai
Everything other than the small issues mentioned below.
There are some infrastructure works around the hotel that did make the admission a bit difficult. Some employees do not speak very good English (although very kind and eager to help). The sofa bed was not very comfortable

A short but sweet stay
We arrived at the hotel around 5.30am in the morning after a long 15 hour flight from Sydney, Australia. When we arrived our room was occupied and there were no others like it available for an early check in. I have two little kids 3 1/2 and 1 years old who were both tired ready for a nap and the prospect of waiting until 3pm when our room was ready was daunting. The lovely staff went over and above to find and upgrade us to another room so we didn't have to wait. Although the pool area at the hotel was being renovated, they organised a private transfer to take us to their sister hotel to use the pool and pick us up when we were ready to come home. Breakfast in the morning was fresh and delicious and everyone was helpful, friendly and accomodating. Wish we could have stayed longer to check out the mall and ski fields but it was a quick stop over on the way to Europe.

Overall everything is great. The staff is helpful. The food is delicious. The service is fast. The location is convenient. They accommodated me and offered to leave the hotel not at 12, but at 13:30 due to the late flight, which was very valuable.
Breakfast is in the lobby area. It's not inconvenient, but rather strange. There was a strong moldy smell in the room when the air conditioner was turned on.

Amazing & Luxurious
Great Service, Perfect Location and Luxurious stay. Room Services, Guest Services and House Keeping staff all are amazing very humble and helpful. They make your stay very comfortable and MOE is right there which is the best mall with all brands and great restaurants. The best service you can get as guest is the Handfree service that allows you to shop and give all your shopping to the handsfree team who gets it delivered to your room within mins courtesy of the Hotel Staff. Great Service by Muhammad at reception, Carlos was amazing at Salero restaurant.

The only thing I can mention is that the pool was unavailable, the hotel staff did everything to provide hotel guests with the access to another pool in another Kempinsky, unfortunately we didn't use that, but still, guys did what they could

Nicely located hotel. Perhaps better suited to the business traveller.
Excellent location. Special thanks to Mark and Eve for their hospitality during breakfast.
The suite allocate initially had the worst view possible. We raised this concern and were re-allocated a better view suite.

The pool was closed and the gym was disappointing.

An excellent hotel for professionals and work travelers.
The hotel is very well located, adjacent to the Mall of the Emirates, which is an added value. The staff is excellent and catering to every need of its costumers. Was well pleased with the responsiveness on any request.
The view on the Mall side from the room was not good for the price of the room. Would prefer a better view towards the city and Burj Al Arab for the price paid. Otherwise no negatives.

The service and support from all the personnel was overwhelming! From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive to our needs. Check-in was quick and hassle-free. The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated with luxury amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The hotel’s facilities were top-notch. The breakfast at executive lounge offered a delicious variety of dishes, with attentive service and a cozy & relaxing ambiance. Location-wise, the hotel was perfect—close to major attractions, Mall of the Emirates shopping center, and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. Overall, our stay at Kempinski Mall of the Emirates exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend it to anyone seeking comfort, convenience, and excellent service. We look forward to returning! Special thanks to the Duty Manager Mr. Muhammet Tarik Celik, who was the hotel's face of hospitality & warmth to us!! Christina Stamatina Kostami

Thank you mr waleed for the coffee
In the mall , the man holds coffee (( Mr waleed )) is a great man thank you for the coffee, and when you go to the restaurant for breakfast ask for mr (( ahmed mohsen)) he will get your order right never let you set on tea table ( short) for breakfast . He will keep checking on you he understands what you need.
The way in from the highway and the way out takes 10 minutes to get to the highway , they fours the woman staff to wear short skirt with open cut in the restaurant at lower tables they had to pend their knees to serve and most her legs showed this isn't right it discomfort for me to be served like this, women should be respectful and never force any clothes like that. And room service is very very expensive. I can get anything from the mall two people cost 350 for a sandwich and burger why ?

Good stay and perfect breakfast
Breakfast was superb. The location is ideal for those who are looking to spend time shopping at the Mall of the Emirates.
The hotel is decent overall and still in good shape, but the furniture and the room layout feel a bit outdated. Also, I didn't have the best view from my room.

Great hotel with wonderful staff.
The hotel was very nice with exceptional staff. They even offer guests a ride to another Kimpinske because the pool during my stay was not working rather than just saw “pool is not working”, which is exceptional.
The main room AC was not cooling and was only fixed/ reprogrammed after 2 calls. Nonetheless, they were friendly in the process.

Excellent location, very nice and polite staff, perfect service, and impeccable cleanliness. The room was spacious, and the beds were perfect, wide and with significant height, the best one I've ever used. Breakfast was flawless. The possibility to just walk into the mall was something incomparable. We will come back.
The pool was under reconstruction and we were unaware of it during the booking process or any time before arrival. The hotel provides a free-of-charge replacement service, in another hotel, even better one, but a small hassle was the fact that you can not just walk in a bathrobe from your room to the pool.

Lovely and very comfortable stay at the Kempinski hotel! I will 100% return!
The breakfast was really good, and it had a really good assortment of foods. The best part was Mohammed and his team, who were really kind and always willing to help me and my team of colleagues feel at home. The restaurants were amazing: I had the chance to go to Xu, Salero and Eugene and in all food was superb! Many extra points at Salero to Maria and her team to always make us feel at home! Their efforts ranged from remembering the choices we preferred, to finding an extra seat even though the place was full during flamenco nights. The attention to details in this hotel and restauratns is definitely a 5 star!!
I never found out how to turn off the bathroom lights under the sink, lol! And I forgot to ask... so maybe a sign or pointer could help to other buys people find that. (It's kind of my falult)

A warm and hospitable environment both homely and luxurious at the same time. Amongst the hustle bustle and fast paced D
One of THE most conveniently located hotels in all of Dubai. You are right at the centre with both easy access to downtown on one side and the palm/JLT/JBR on the other. Direct access to mall of the emirates means you will barely have to commute as MOE is equipped with every amenity from shopping to entertainment to cinema. The hotel has ample facilities to keep you busy during your stay including one of the finest spas.
Hard to criticise this property however maybe an addition of some form of recreation could further elevate the experience.
