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.”

Overall a good comfortable and luxurious stay, with some caveats.
Very spacious and comfortable rooms. Excellent house keeping. Excellent location.
Can be very noisy. Rroms aren't properly insulated, so if a hyperactive kid is next to your room, say good bye to sleep. Also rooms with a view over the highway gets excessive noise. I got some tiny house flies in my room most of the times. No idea why, since the room was very clean. The value for price keeps getting lower and lower each year.

Very good
The stuff was respectful, helpful, and welcoming. The rooms are quite big and comfortable, and the housekeeping services were very good. Further, the gym is well equipped and very good for a workout. Also, I liked that they had a Nesspreso machine inside the rooms.
The water temperature in the shower box fluctuates a lot between hot and cold, although I changed my room. The room furniture is a bit old, and the breakfast buffet needs some more verity.

Definitely worth the money! Thanks to Mark and Salkyn from the Executive lounge team!
Our stay was amazing. Everything was perfect—staff were friendly, helpful, and professional at every turn. The rooms looked exactly like the photos! I took Executive Grand Deluxe with Lounge access. The Executive Lounge access perfect spot for both relaxing and business meetings (I have had a lot). Special thanks to Mark and Salkyn from the lounge team, who truly made out visit exceptional. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Can’t wait to return!!!
Location, location, location, makes Kempinski MOE 11 out of 10 stars ⭐️ for me. What did/do I like…too many reasons I can’t even begin, but will try. The attention to detail starting with reception and their professionalism, even though I booked through booking v/s directly (a special welcome back gift was sent to my room) which was so very welcoming to receive and it had been 3 years since my last visit. The recent renovations are absolutely Amazing (especially the New Gym that is like none other that I have ever seen) and the renovated Pool is beautifully done. Always so happy to see some of the same friendly faces working there after almost a decade. This by far is one of the best hotel chains I have ever stayed at worldwide. I have stayed at many….however the professionalism and exceptional management goes far and above at this location being so close to Jumeirah Beach, Marina area and the view of the Burj especially at sunset and at night. This location will always have my heart.

Good location with straight access to Mall of the Emirates, service is faultless, polite, and professional, this is really what makes you want to go back for more... it may not be the most high-end luxurious hotel in Dubai, but it still delivers the magic, thanks to their attentive staff... a perfect option for a week of Dubai discovery...
No apology/compensation offered for making us stand hours in the lobby in our pj's during a false fire alarm alert...

Exceptional stay and experience for the entire family
The hotel was very clean. The staff was exceptional including room service. The swimming pool was great. The location connected to the Mall of Emirates was fantastic. The check in and check out process was simple. Overall, we had a lovely stay.
The pricing is still high and hope this can be more affordable. Can't think of anything else. Fantastic stay for the entire family.

Beautiful And absolutely comfortable
A great experience this was my second stay. The Housekeeping staff I didnt get to meet them in person but they were absolutely just amazing people they just did wonderful job everyday were very very detailed in ensuring that our stay was comfortable and great. So they deserve all the praise. Once again thank you to Muhammad at the receiption remembered me from our last stay and went on to give us a room with great view. We had a small incident with the security but the Supervisor of the Hotel - Mr. Hazem was absolutely great at addressing our concern and went extra mile to ensure we were satisified with our stay. Thanks for the late check-out and airport Taxi from the hotel. Mr Ali the security staff also did take our concern seriously and sympathized with us and did take our feedback seriously. Over the whole staff is very very polite and helpful hands-on at the breakfast and room service. The location is just amazing inside the MOE. You feel the privilage and the handfree shopping experience is just the best thing you can get. You can drop all your shopping at the Hands free kisok throughout the MOE and they get it send directly to your room no limits and completely free.
