Stayed here for a few nights during the holidays. Weather was perfect -- warm during the day and cool at night. Exceptional service at the President Gold Lounge, although the lounge itself needs some upgrading. Wonderful breakfast buffet. Lobby area is too spacious and dull, layout is strange. Service at the front desk and concierge is wonderful. The lady at... more

Stayed at the Fairmont on a leisure break New Year 07/08, having stayed at a beach hotel the previous year. They allowed us to check in at 08:00am (a bonus after a night flight). We were in a standard 'Fairmont Room' - not as modern as I thought it might be, but large enough with a nice bathroom. Pool areas... more

Dubai is decadence to the extreme. The Fairmont was an awesome hotel. more

Stayed at the end of November in a one bed gold suite, as with the other reports below we were on the 16th floor, but we certainly had all the benefits of a gold suite, and have no complaints. We were initially checked into a gold room on 31st floor and it looked absolutely fine, would not bother to pay... more

Arrived at 11pm after 8 hour flight from HK. No reception at immigration, you have to find the Fairmont Counter and wait! Check in slow and assigned one bedroom suite on 12 floor - despite being a Gold reservation that is meant for high floors. Room was a smoking room and stank of stale smoke so I requested change to... more

Stayed here end november for 2 days. Booked a one bedroom gold suite. Probably did not get a "gold" room as mine was on the 11th floor while the "gold" rooms and suites are on higher floors. Nevertheless, got all the related perks. Pretty large suite with separate living and sleeping areas. Nice bathroom. Excellent lounge for gold floors. But... more

I have just concluded a 2 night stay here. On first arrving at the hotel, the impression is that it is very nice but slightly lacking the "Wow" factor you get at lots of Dubai hotels. We got our room at 12.15pm, which was pretty good. Room was an ok size, with a very nice bathroom. Only meal we had... more

The Fairmont was absolutely fantastic. The staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful. The Spectrum on One restaurant is truly amazing with a wide selection of different types of food. The sunrise and sunset swimming pools are very well kept and are relatively quiet. I had a relaxing massage at the Willow Stream Spa, which was absolutely wonderful. I would... more

It took me almost a month of reading various reviews on almost all the 5 star hotels in Dubai before I finally settled for Fairmont Hotel and am glad I did. I travelled to dubai with my husband and 2 sons ( ages 9 and 4) for 4 nights at the end of July. We stayed in a one bedroom... more
