The 153 rooms at this mid-range property
are generally clean and modern, thought there are the occasional
complaints about issues like leaky faucets, lingering smoke smells, and loud
air-conditioning units. The property is situated in an unglamorous, slightly
postindustrial section of the neighborhood of Deira, close to a large shopping
mall and within walking distance of many restaurants and bars (a
welcome convenience for some given that the hotel does not serve alcohol). The
Landmark has a tiny, somewhat cramped rooftop pool and a small fitness center
with a handful of machines.

Scene
Tourists and business travelers favor this plain, mid-range hotel
The Landmark opens up onto a street lined
with mid-rise apartment buildings, offices, and hotels with little atmosphere.
The hotel building itself is made up of a beige, block-like structure
similar to the surrounding edifices. The interior features well-lit, carpeted hallways hung
with an occasional piece of art. The property’s plain, clean lobby consists of
a small marble check-in desk, a seating area with a couple of chairs and a
couch, a bank of elevators, and abstract sculptures. Overall, decor is minimal.
Location
In an unscenic area of Deira, within easy walking distance of a large shopping mall and number of restaurants
The Landmark’s immediate area is rather
gritty, consisting of a built-up area with very little on the surrounding
streets apart from mid-rise hotels and office buildings. However, Al Ghurair
shopping center is just a few blocks away, and street life begins to hop a bit
more in that area. Union Metro Station is a six-minute walk west from the
hotel, providing access to metro and bus lines. As such, central Dubai can be reached via a
single subway line (travel time: 40 minutes), while Dubai International Airport can be reached via bus (30
minutes). For those taking a taxi or driving a car, the airport is just 10 minutes southeast, barring traffic.
Rooms
Plain but comfortable with wood furniture and wall-to-wall carpeting
Rooms at the Landmark vary in size, ranging from
Standard Rooms to suites, and follow the same basic aesthetic: black-out shades, sand-colored
wall-to-wall carpeting, walls painted a neutral shade of taupe, wood built-ins that
include panel headboards and closets, and modest wood furnishings. The color
scheme is calming, if generic. Larger rooms have modestly sized sitting areas
separated from sleeping areas by partial walls, while the largest suites have living
areas with doors. Chrome fixtures in the small-ish bathrooms are
handsome, though not fancy. Shower/tub combos are fairly standard issue with tiling that's a handsome slate color. All rooms also have mini-fridges
with soda and water, electric kettles with tea and coffee, wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, safes, and hairdryers. A few guests have noted lingering smoke smells
even in non-smoking rooms.
Features
Small fitness center and pool along with a couple of restaurants
A small fitness center is home to a handful
of machines and an adjacent sauna and steam room. The rooftop pool is tiny,
suitable for dipping mostly, and some guests have noted an occasionally overpowering
noise from the nearby air-conditioning unit. Two on-site restaurants, both of
which generally receive positive reviews from guests, offer buffet-style meals
in dining rooms with a few contemporary touches like beaded window curtains and
frosted glass doors. The property also has two rooftop meeting rooms
with an array of tech as well as the Rendezvous Ballroom, which can hold up to
100 people.
