The welcome from the minute we stepped off the plane was extremely warm (and I don’t just mean the weather!) We were transferred to the beautiful Kempinski Mall of the Emirates Hotel adjoining one of the largest malls outside North America, where the rooms were finished to the highest quality with fabulous attention to detail. And the hotel is also part of an indoor ski resort!

The following day we visited many other wonderful hotels, including the One&Only Royal Mirage, the Park Hyatt and the stylish Address Hotel – each with their own unique selling points. We were also hosted at the contemporary Emirates Harbour Hotel which offered unparallelled service and panoramic views of Dubai Marina and The Palm Jumeirah.

Dubai is the ultimate holiday destination: From fantastic beaches, water sports, scenic views and desert tours, to traditional hospitality, shopping festivals, sporting events, golf and wildlife tours ... you name it, Dubai has the lot!
