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.”

Excellent business and shopping hotel
The hotel has direct access to the Emirates Mall, which offers a number of advantages. I was also interested in the possibility of evening shopping and the large number of quality restaurants in the mall. A big plus is the short distance to the metro, which can be reached through the mall. The metro is about 15 minutes from Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and 20 minutes from Dubai World Trade Centre. The breakfast was good, the choice of food was not too wide and was the same every day. The staff was helpful and helpful.
The hotel was renovating the pool, so it was inaccessible. However, they did not inform about this. When asked, the reception staff said that the hotel provides free accommodation and transport to the Kempinski Palm Jumeirah resort, which was an really excellent offer. But the information was not automatically provided.

Comfortable, convenient and luxurious.
The staff were very friendly and attentive. The location is ideal to explore the whole of Dubai. The property was very clean, the rooms were very comfortable and the amenities were great. We stayed as a family of four with two children under ten and we’d recommend to anyone looking for 5 star base to explore Dubai.

Had an amazing stay at the Kempinski Hotel Mall of Emirates - Customer Service was excellent.
As a family we booked the 2 bedroom suite, the rooms were spacious and well equipped, we were very happy with the rooms provided. Breakfast was very good, we also had access to the Executive Lounge which was great as they provided slots throughout the day to visit for afternoon tea, light snacks and pre-dinner canapes. Location was great being attached to the mall had it benefits as well as being central and close to most places we wanted to visit. The staff were amazing throughout our trip and did everything to ensure we had a great stay. I will be returning on my next Dubai trip and would highly recommend.

Very good
The duty night manager (Turkish)on the early morning of 11 April was very rude on a small velvet parking issue. Unfortunately, a night manager of a kimpinski standard lacks customer curiosity and hospitality manners!!!

Great Staff with a Great Location.
Excellent Service from start to finish. The front desk staff, staff outside and in the restaurant went out of their way to provide five-star service. The cleaning staff/housekeeping staff went out of their way to provide exceptional service. Sometimes cleaning the room twice, a day! The location to the Dubai Mall of the Emirates was literally not only next door but the hotel was attached to the mall, so you didn't even need to go outside to access the mall. The location to the bus stop which provided easy/inexpensive access too many desirable attractions was only a three-minute walk from the hotel lobby.
Nothing. Everything was great.

Room was the executive deluxe room(Nespresso machine, water ) which included lounge access and breakfast .The room had a wonderful layout and was larger than I expected.The lounge was being renovated and so we ended up in the Lobby at Aspen which was great.The Breakfast menu had a lot of options including great options for kids(pancakes, French toast ,eggs and waffles etc) in addition to the buffet.Location is unbeatable despite road construction , next to Mall of Emirates(direct access to the mall) with Cheesecake Factory at it's door. The room had a view of Burj ul Arab .
The road construction in the area.

Great location next to Emirates mall, good value, and well maintained
Great location with direct access to Mall of Emirates. It’s one if the oldest hotels that is still well maintained. The rooms are spacious and clean. It’s relatively cheaper than other properties in Dubai. Recommend
The staff are friendly, but few of them can be a little more enthusiastic when working and serving guests (Especially from the low ranking staff). The hotel can use some new fresh look renovations and refurbishment. Nevertheless, the rooms are in very good conditions!

A perfect luxury hotel next to a most modern mall.
Everything about the hotel experience was great.
An omelette station and a more elaborate breakfast display would be great.

Great hotel with an amazing level of service by the team, but if the property would offer the full package as published
The service by the entire team was above and beyond. Each team member was very nice, professional and did the best for us. That had a high impact on our stay which we really enjoyed.
The room was published with an access to the executive lounge which is open from 07am through 11pm. It was out of service, with some limited hours alternative in the restaurant- but was pretty disappointing. Also the pool was out of service, with an option to go to another Kempinski hotel which took 30 minutes drive each side. These drawbacks did impact our overall experience.

Amazing stay
Luxurious and very clean hotel. Staff are very nice and helpful. Rooms are very well-kept and spacious. We enjoyed our stay a lot.
Nothing about the hotel itself. However, getting out of the hotel is a bit of a hassle. Construction in the area is causing some traffic congestion and you need an additional 10-15 minutes just to get to Shaikh Zayed Road

Mall and breakfast
The reservation staff was nice and friendly. Also, the lobby manager, he was very nice as well.
towels, cleaning room when requested and the fact they misinformed us about breakfast, one day we did not know where to go because the restaurant where we previously had breakfast was in "construction" but there were people inside eating and when we got there they told us it was closed? but at the end one staff member was very nice and accomadate us in the lobby restaurant for breakfast. also, The chips/candy amenities, our kids thought they were for free, it's Kempski but obviously not, so my kids endulge in the stail old chips and candy at the end we ended up paying almost 100Dollars for old candy and chips., quite annoying.

Great team, outstanding service and excellent stay!
As always, Kempinski’s attitude toward its guests is on top! Once again, we had a pleasant short stay at this hotel. From the very first moments, you feel that you were expected and given the utmost attention: our luggage was taken care of as soon as we stepped out of the taxi, we were checked in early and checked out late without any additional charges. All of this was done effortlessly, with a smile, and with the utmost respect. A huge thank you for your attention to the details – especially for your excellent ginger tea. It was a delightful touch! The service in the lounge was outstanding. Many thanks to your entire team! The room was excellent, with a great view, a fantastic bathroom, and a magnificent bed that ensured a perfect night’s sleep and relaxation. The taxi arranged by the hotel was premium-class at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return!
