Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai
A sleek beauty near the Burj Khalifa
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The Burj
Khalifa can be seen from countless directions in Dubai, but there are no more favorable vantage
points of the iconic structure than the one from Shangri-La Dubai. Situated
just across Sheikh Zayed Road, the 302-room property is afforded unobstructed,
bad-picture-proof views of the 2,717-foot landmark.
But if you
think that’s the only draw to the 43-floor hotel, you may want to grab a seat
in the new-look lobby because things may be even more amazing inside. As Shangri-La
is a proud Hong Kong-based brand, there’s an obvious Asian influence in the way
the property flows. Still, even as you move about, you never lose sight that
you're present in the Middle East (gold chandeliers, ruby accents and a pool
area dotted with royal palms).
Seemingly
different styles aren’t the only things that harmonize here. The CHI, The Spa
at Shangri-La showcases techniques from across the globe to rousing results,
while seven dining options have a similar effect on international guests by
serving an array of culinary tastes.
