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.”

Comfortable and Luxurious with direct access to the mall
First is definitely the super convenient direct access to the mall of Emirates. Then the fantastic well equipped gym. Very fancy. Staff were quite helpful and ofcourse the room was brilliant and luxurious. We took the large 61m2 one, for 4 of us and it was great.

Great location for shopping. Friendly and helpful staff.
My favorite thing about the entire stay was a very helpful concierge named Soumish who really helped make our stay memorable and easy.
I did not appreciate the influencers or marketing people filming by the pool while I was trying to relax with my children

A classic hotel with very comfortable facilities
Room was enormous, staff was very friendly and quick to reply to requests (such as extra bed, turning down service, extra tea), bathroom was very spacious and well lit, mattress and duvet were super comfortable. The convenince of the hotel being located on top of the MoE is unbeatable.

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.

This was an excellent experience and the hotel and staff were truly fantastic. The only downside was the smell in the room coming form the airconditioning.

Great room, actually it was semi suit, wide room and bath also, amazing breakfast
the absence of any welcoming or goodbye drink, also no welcoming fruit dish or chocolate in the room
16 December 2025
Very good
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

Met all of my expectations and I will be back for future stays
Loved the afternoon tea!!!!
