Stayed here for one week on a business trip, chosen due to its close proximity to the office (Emaar Business Park). Was there during Ramadan and the very hot and humid month of September.
A True 5* hotel, the entrance and lobby are huge and the air con is perfectly balanced. I stayed in a Grand Deluxe room, upon arrival I asked for a room with a view of Burj Al Arab and this was no problem (room 825). The room was large and the bathroom was amazing.
I only had breakfast once (this was brought to my room) and this was the only disappointing part of the hotel experience, included items listed on the menu where not there, due to my hurry to leave that morning, I had no time to ask for another. I did complain about it, they apologised but did not offer to take this off my bill.

The location was ok if you like shopping due the large mall attached, or indeed skiing. But please note that it is surrounded by very busy roads, in no way could you walk anywhere but to the mall. Its a good job the taxi's are cheap.

We recently stayed at Kempinski Hotel, and found the service and all amentites top standard. Check-in and out was efficient. The room we had was a deluxe and was modern with a comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Cannot fault the room at all. Room service was efficient also. The convenience of this Hotel attached to the mall is unbeatable, great if you are on a shopping holiday or on business stay. Recommended.

I've stayed here a couple of times & have liked the rooms & bed both times. The rooms I have stayed in are one room for the bedroom & one small sitting room. Both have lovely flat screen TVs & the beds are very comfortable.

The buffet breakfast in the lobby is perfectly adequate & the staff will get anything you want & are very attentive.

Check in is a little laborious, with 200 key strokes on the computer (why, why, why?) & scanning of the passport & all that. However, checking out is quick & efficient.

As others have said - the easy access to one of the biggest & best malls in Dubai is very attractive. You want to see a movie, shop, eat, even ski - it's all there!

The only minor niggle I have is Internet access. Increasingly this is a must have for business travellers. For some reason here, there is an easy way of accessing if you use the cable access & you need to wait for someone to come to your room with a card if you want to use WiFi.... ?

I stayed 4 night for business and much prefered it to Emirates Towers.
The room was well decorated with a sitting area, DVD player and flat screen TV.
The bathroom was one of the largest I've been in with a separate bath and walk on shower.
Room service was fast, staff pleasant and the food was actually compared to many other hotels..
All in all this is a good address if working off the Sheikh Zayed Road or want to go shopping/skying in the evening.
