The entire hotel is shaped like a pyramid with a lounge and restaurant located on the top level. The interior of the hotel is spotless and filled with beautiful... More

Traveled to Dubai on business - my first trip there. Raffles was recommended by my client so we booked through our travel agent. The location was very convenient - a 5 minute ride from the airport and 15 minutes to the city. Upon arrival I warmly greeted by the staff, and recognized by name thoughout my three day-two night stay.... More

On the check in we were upgraded to a absolutely fantastic suite with 200 m2 including huge living room, bar, huge terrace etc. We also got two extra beds and have probably never stayed... More

The initial impression of the hotel is very good with a large lobby and Eqyptian inspired interiors. The room is large and is more like a suite. Each room has a private balcony with very comfortable lounge chairs which scarcely get used since one can just hear cars zooming at high speed and look at highrise concrete buildings in the... More
