Still Great Hotel but no Longer Top Luxury

I had a quick stay at Raffles Dubai during a mattress run in the city. I have been interested in trying for a while because it’s been an iconic hotel in the city for quite. Based on my stay I can say there is a lot to like about this hotel however some of the little details are missing to keep up with other top 5-star newly built hotels. The entry level rooms are very spacious at 70 sqm and as Accor Diamond I was upgraded to the skyline version of those rooms, but otherwise same room size. The room was almost as big as the suite upgrades I receive like clockwork at Hyatt or Marriott properties in Dubai. The room was not new and modern but it was clearly built to a high standard to withstand the test of time which we can notice as soon as we enter because the entrance door was very thick, heavy and sturdy. The room was a bit Egyptian-style to match with the pyramid shape of the building and had charming local touches unlike some hotels which could be just anywhere in the world. The bathroom was all marble, there were shutters above the bathtub which we could open to see through the bedroom and the city view. I also liked the electric curtains controlled via the wall panel besides the bed and there was a proper desk and a quality comfortable leather working chair which has become exceedingly hard to find in hotels nowadays. While the outdoor terrace looked nice, the hotel was right in front of a busy boulevard so the traffic noise was constant if sitting outdoors and the same issue applied to guests at the hotel swimming pool which I could see below my room. I liked the bathroom toiletries but they were from an unknown brand; a hotel of the level of Raffles would probably be better served by offering a recognizable luxury brand name instead. Also there was no mouthwash and the slippers were cheap and unmarked. So in my opinion the hotel has room for improvement in terms of amenities generally speaking. Unfortunately the club lounge was closed due to covid which I would question given the numerous hotels in Dubai which currently have their lounge fully operational; anyway they provided lounge benefits near the lobby for Diamond guests. For afternoon tea I thought the offerings were quite nice relative to local competitor hotels. However happy hour was a letdown: they served a tray pretty similar to the one from afternoon tea which felt less appropriate for the evening and was a far cry from what we can get at many other hotels in Dubai. The drinks menu also left to be desired for a hotel of this caliber, the wines were nothing to write home about and the cocktails were limited to Mojito, Pina Colada, and Gin & Tonic. In the absence of a lounge, breakfast was available in the restaurant and it was a staff-served buffet. The food quality was good, however once again for a top end brand like Raffles I would have expected some luxury dishes but there is not a whole lot that stood out except a couple of Indian and Asian dishes. If I compare to Raffles Istanbul for example, which is arguably one of the top 5 luxury hotels in the city, they have an extensive a la carte breakfast menu with interesting luxurious options but at Raffles Dubai nothing was a la carte – a clear miss in my opinion. Service in the hotel was generally quite good, but sometimes they tried to do too much and lacked coordination. In the restaurant I was asked several times by different staff if I wanted something else when I had already responded to someone else moments prior, and also I received two times my drink order from two different servers within minutes of each other. Overall I enjoyed my stay mostly because of the beautiful room and it’s a hotel where we do not need to worry about suite upgrades because all rooms so very spacious. Raffles used to be one of the top luxury options in Dubai and it’s not the case anymore with the large number of new 5-star constructions in the last few years, but the price also reflects that so in a way it is fair - I often see the Fairmont nearby priced above Raffles which is a bit counter-intuitive. So I would not say Raffles is overpriced in fact I thought I ended up with very good value for my stay, the main issue is simply that Raffles is supposed to be a top luxury brand but some details here are there are missing to achieve the top end for example the amenities, breakfast, and the lounge offerings which could be improved.…

Hotel's Favorite

Perfection from start to finish!

Had a fabulous stay at this hotel back in January. We’ve been coming to Dubai for the past 8 years and stayed in many of the top hotels, however Raffles is something else – what an experience! Me and my husband were staying in another hotel on Jumeirah beach and decided to take a trip to visit the Raffles Saloon bar. We got chatting to a member of staff called Woulstain who recommended we try Raffles hotel next time we visit and book a Skyline room for the views of the city. The hotel looked so amazing, and as it was our anniversary a few days later – we decided we couldn’t wait until our next visit, so we booked a club room and checked out of our beach hotel, and boy am I glad we did! From the minute we arrived at the hotel we were in awe of the outstanding service and treated like royalty. How a hotel of this size can give you the level of attention and service, to make you feel like you are the only guest they have is truly amazing. Check in, departure, and everything else in between was just perfect. As for the room, well there is only one word to describe it…WOW. It was on one of the higher floors of the hotel, the room was huge and incredibly beautiful. Everything was spotless and sanitised and it felt very Covid safe, plus the balcony was also very big – perfect for those views! To make the stay even better, the hotel surprised us with a special cake for our anniversary which was a lovey gesture. I’d like to say a hug thank you to Mila at check in, Syed our wonderful butler, Summer and her amazing hospitality team, Mars at Azur and of course not forgetting Woulstain for his recommendation of the hotel. I can safely say we will be back as soon as we can travel again!…

Exceeded Expectations

first time staying at a Raffles branded hotel. was expecting a relatively good service, but turned out that the service level was personalized and exceptional. Was greeted at breakfast and at the club lounge, and escorted to the tables. I saw that this service was provided to all guests, not just Accor members. The hotel treats al guests with a high level of a welcomed-stay experience. Well done to the Raffles Dubai team.
