Scene

Massive beachfront resort with elegant interiors and a relaxed atmosphere

Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah is a massive beachfront property surrounded by lush palm-fringed gardens overlooking the interior of Palm Jumeirah. The hotel's lobby is a large area with marble floors and an elegant lounge area at the far end overlooking the beach. The elegant theme flows throughout the common areas, with white walls and pillars, crystal chandeliers, potted ferns, plush furniture, and soft, neutral hues. There's also a large outdoor terrace opening up from the lobby that overlooks the beach. The main building curves around the central outdoor space, which features lush green lawns, palm trees, and a massive swimming pool surrounded by cabanas, sun loungers, and parasols. This area then opens out onto a private beach section with more rows of sun loungers and parasols reserved exclusively for hotel guests. The poolside restaurant offers a relaxing escape from the crowds while still enjoying the views. Overall, the hotel has a relaxed holiday resort atmosphere. Guests here are mostly leisure travelers with a combination of families, couples, and groups.

Location

Serene setting on the east crescent of the Palm Jumeirah

Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah is located on the east crescent of the Palm Jumeirah -- one of Dubai's popular palm-shaped artificial archipelagos stretching out into the Arabian Gulf. Its position halfway down the palm's eastern crescent means that the main entrance overlooks the sea and downtown Dubai,  and the front of the hotel faces the interior of Palm Jumeirah. While its far away location feels secluded and is quiet, it also makes it a bit of a hassle to get to and from the Dubai mainland -- particularly during traffic. The popular Atlantis Palm, with its Aquaventure Waterpark, is a four-minute drive from the hotel. It's a 20-minute drive to Dubai Marina and a 25-minute drive to Dubai Marina Mall. The hotel runs a free shuttle to Dubai Marina Mall every morning and afternoon. The Palm Atlantis Monorail Station, which runs along the trunk of Palm Jumeirah, is a six-minute drive away. It's a 20-minute drive to the Dubai Internet City Metro Station. Dubai International Airport is 40 minutes by car.
