Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai
Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai, is a stunning beachfront urban resort that feels like a quiet sanctuary amidst the city’s high-octane energy. Designed by Jeffrey A. Wilkes, the architecture focuses on “sophisticated minimalism,” using clean lines, travertine stone, and floor-to-ceiling windows to ensure the shimmering Arabian Gulf is always the star of the show.
One of the most striking features is the hotel’s entrance. Guests are greeted by a line of bronze-sculpted trees that stretch across the lobby, creating a “forest of light” that leads your gaze directly toward the ocean. It’s a masterclass in blending indoor and outdoor spaces, making the whole property feel like a modern, sprawling mansion right on the sand.
The resort is home to some incredible culinary experiences, including the Michelin-starred Tasca by Jose Avillez, which sits on the sixth floor for top-tier views. For something more theatrical, check out Netsu, where chefs use the traditional Japanese *warayaki* straw-fire technique to grill dishes right in front of you.
You’re perfectly placed here to explore the best of Dubai. You can literally walk across the street to the Italian Renaissance-style Mercato Shopping Mall, or take a quick drive to the iconic Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall. If you’re looking for a bit of culture, the historic Jumeirah Mosque is also just a short trip away.
Whether you’re unwinding in the massive spa or lounging by one of the five pools, the hotel prioritizes a sense of calm that’s hard to find elsewhere in such a bustling metropolis. It’s a polished, serene escape that leans into nature rather than trying to compete with the city’s usual flash.
Expert reviews
“Mandarin Oriental did their homework when launching in the Middle East. The Asian heavyweight’s ornate urban low rise is spread across a prime patch of affluent Jumeirah. A Prada-draped mix of locals and expats are already elbowing for tables at the sunlight Noor lounge.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s Best New Hotels of 2019.
“Sitting like a pearl on the coast, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai invites you into an elegant contemporary space that is bright and airy by day, and intriguing by night, lit up with romantic, shimmering lights.”
“With Michelin-standard meals created by Portugal’s most prominent chef, five stunning pools, a private beach, a deluxe spa and Dubai’s first Outrace-fitted gym, Mandarin Oriental has outdone itself with its first foray into the UAE. Stocking bathrooms with Natura Bissé amenities was a generous finishing touch.”

Perfection in Dubai
There’s very little to not like. One of the finest stays I’ve had at any hotel. It is the place to stay in Dubai. The hotel organised a birthday welcome for my daughter, Ekaterina from guest services is an absolute star. Netsu was an amazing restaurant we dined there twice - the staff again were amazing. The service levels at this place are insane.
Nothing.

Relax environment for a luxury feeling
Very good hotel with relax environment. You can feel luxury without the rush of Dubai. A good and quality breakfast, and especially access to the Club Lounge for improved experience.
Nothing in particular

First class staff excellent customer service and best breakfast
Anna on reception was super helpful and professional and Aybuke in the restaurant is a total star, amazing customer service from these two, you are lucky to have them on the team
View from room looked out on ac units on a roof and the staff in the club lounge were very good, but quality of food there could have been better, it looked great but was tasteless

Paradise in Dubai !
First time ever I am giving a 10, because this hotel is top!
We got a bottle of white wine in the room because we had a celebration. The bottle was still half. The next evening, without asking fresh ice in the bucket … unbelievable!

Amazing stay, consistently exceptional quality
We were blown away yet again by the quality of service. The staff were absolutely exceptional. The club lounge was superb and we were looked after throughout the entire stay.
We had a disappointing experience with one member of staff at the rooftop pool however this was dealt with very well and rectified.

An extraordinary hotel in the heart of Dubai
The MO is a five star plus hotel , so the hotel is exquisite. But what makes the difference is the genuinely friendly staff which go a step further and satisfy their customers’ needs by meeting their customers’ expectations and beyond. From the concierge, reception, guest relations, F&B , housekeeping and particularly the lounge on the lounge level, the service is five star and more.

Weekend in September
I stayed in this hotel for a weekend in mid-September in superior club king room that was upgraded to deluxe room by the hotel at no cost.
Overall, the hotel meets brand standard. The common areas are well designed and kept. The service is generally very good and staff is supportive.
Food and drinks quality was exceptional in both breakfast serving and the club lounge afternoon tea and cocktails.
Speaking of the areas of improvement, the rooms are in need of renovation. I attach some pictures illustrating this.
Second comment is related to breakfast staff. Some really go above and beyond, the others are grumpy and do not even say “you’re welcome” to your “thank you”. Consistency is certainly an issue.
Third is related to checkout procedure. I received my bill at the checkout time that was considered as final. The amount seems to be reasonable, so I decided not to check it. After some time I got nearly 100 usd of additional charges for minibar. Paying this is not an issue, but one should get it during checkout to agree / disagree, not after the fact when you cannot say anything.
Fourth is related to welcome card that was addressed to the person called Mr Nisyan (?). This is not my name. Considering high cost of the accommodation I would better not receive any welcome letter at all than this.

Everything is better than expected. I would like special thanks to the receptionist ( Arslan ). Surely I will come back.
Everything was perfect👌🏼.
Absolutely nothing.
