Removed from Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah Beach
The 236-room H Dubai is a luxury property with an elegant design and convenient location for business travelers near the World Trade Centre. Major sights such as the Burj Khalifa and Jumeirah Beach, however, are about a 15-minute drive away. Although not as palatial as some high-end Dubai properties, rooms are attractive and upmarket, with marble bathrooms, seating areas, desks, and free Wi-Fi. Numerous suites and apartment-style units with kitchenettes are also available. On-site facilities include the gorgeous Mandara Spa, attractive outdoor pool, and 11 restaurants and bars, including a Japanese eatery and rooftop cocktail lounge on the 40th floor. A modern and well-equipped fitness center and extensive meeting spaces are also on-site. It's worth considering the Jumeirah Emirates Towers, which is still near the Trade Centre and offers free shuttles to area beaches.

Scene
Impressive setting with a formal, business-like tone
The 40-story H Dubai is a modern building with luxurious and stylishly designed interiors, though they aren't the opulent affair of many area properties. Chic, contemporary, and Arabian-inspired decor consists of raised lobby seating, patterned floors, arched windows, and lots of gleaming marble. The array of bars and restaurants have their own theme, but every space here has a formal elegance. The polished vibe and quiet atmosphere are particularly attractive to the mostly business travelers that come here --due to the hotel's convenient setting near the World Trade Centre. Although not the most convenient for tourists, the outdoor pool, expansive spa, and highly praised service also attract couples and families.
Location
Located off Sheikh Zayed Road, across from the World Trade Centre

Behind the hotel, guests can explore Old Dubai's shops and cheap food venues. More restaurants can be found down at the Satwa Roundabout, which will take 13 minutes on foot to reach. Guests can get to the Dubai Mall in 10 minutes by car and the Mall of the Emirates in about 13 minutes. Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, and Jumeirah Beach are all about 15 minutes away by car.
