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.”

The family suite was very spacious. Helpful and very kind and approachable staff. Hotel is of a Convenient location as it is connected to Emirates mall.
Please provide a changing table in future to facilitate changing for babies. The baby changing was not available. Also for hygienic purposes having liquid soap in toilet or upon request would be great. Housekeeping confirmed no liquid soap was available.

The service and amenities in the hotel are just great.
They seem to have an issue with the system. Our room got under a different name, and with this name, it was the only way to access the room wifi.

I asked for a room and a higher flow with a good view, which the hotel had confirmed that yes, we will give you a room with a good view. However, we did not have a good view. In fact, we had a view of some terrace with people working there. Next time, I am hoping to get a good view possibility of the Burj Al Arab or some nice city view. Otherwise, very, very happy with the hotel.

Beautiful hotel location connected to the mall. Family friendly, great facilities, staff are attentive and welcoming with five star service. My children enjoyed so much on very clean spacious suite room, wide range of food on buffet breakfast and lounge area for snacks and drinks. Swimming pool is very nice with complementary water to ease hot weather. Everything exceeded on our expectation during our stay, highly recommended specially for family with young children.

Great weekend
The corner suite was fantastic – spacious and comfortable. The service was outstanding, with every team member greeting us with a smile and ensuring everything was prompt. We especially loved the club access, which offered a wonderful selection of afternoon and evening snacks. The team there made the experience even more special, with a special thanks to Mark from the club lounge for his excellent hospitality.
Pool area a bit small

They advertise that the pool is after a major renovation Yes, it is, but how is it to leave the old foundations on a sun lounger. Repairs are still being carried out around the pool and it smells unpleasant and is very noisy from the renovation.

Overall we enjoyed our stay the place is very nice and the fact that the hotel is connected to MOE this is a bonus .. All staff were helpful and friendly Especially Hazem( Night shift Manager ) and Majdi AlAbbadi ( Morning Shift Manager) and the butler supervisor they all tried their best to make our stay unforgettable. The maintenance in the mall was little bit noisy but the team was responsive and resolved this matter very quickly.

The AC or the Bed should be relocated.
The AC direction was facing the bed and was not good at all.
The AC outflow direction facing the bed is bad.

Good hotel, but staff short of being honest.
Very good location, spacious lobby, comfortable & spacious room, average breakfast in terms of selections, friendly housekeeping staff as well as staff at the restaurant where breakfast is served.
During my 5 days stay, I interacted with 3 staff at the reception. All of them were friendly on the outside, by not honest when it comes to keeping promises. The purpose of my travel to Dubai was to celebrate our anniversary. Before arrival, we were promised in an email of an anniversary cake. When we checked in, the staff at counter promised the cake will delivered later in the day. Nothing happened. The next day, I spoke with another reception staff, he promised but failed to delivered. Same thing happened on the third day with a third staff. I see that as a total dishonesty from their part.

The guest service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. The reception team welcomed us with professionalism and a friendly smile, making us feel instantly at home. Our room was exceptionally spacious and impeccably maintained, with a full range of high-quality amenities that catered to our every need
The view from my room was not particularly appealing, which was a slight disappointment.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates! From the moment I arrived, Fathima, the relationship manager, and Sournish went above and beyond to assist me with everything, making me feel truly welcomed and valued. A special shoutout to the incredible housekeeping team, namely - Mun Na and Thida, who kept my room impeccably clean and hygienic. They were always attentive to details and made sure to check if I needed anything. The entire experience was exceptional — from the delicious breakfast to the impeccable service and accommodation. I highly recommend Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay. I will definitely be revisiting again!

Bedding was so comfortable I had the best sleep ever!
Hotel is connected to Mall of the Emirates, next to Cheesecake Factory and Ski Dubai. Room was spacious, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We were granted a late checkout which was greatly appreciated.
Service was inconsistent which is a shame as some staff were terrific whereas others were disappointing. Breakfast was chaotic and eggs took 35+ mins to be prepared one day. Coffee requests had to be placed multiple times. We had two free tickets to Ski Dubai, which we were not offered upon checking in, and I didn’t realize this error until towards the end of our stay. It was a bit annoying as I had to approach the staff to proactively request for them, changing my itinerary so that I could make use of the tickets.
