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.

Walking into Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai in the heart of the city’s financial district is like stepping into an uber-stylish oasis of calm. The bright lobby, with its comfortable black sofa, cluster of light bulbs in inverted glass bottles, and chic corner café, buzzes with suited businesspeople and smartly dressed couples.
The Arabian design influences are subtle but significant: a framed black-and-white image of a desert dune, a traditional coffee pot at the welcome desk and a white mosaic that reminds you of the windows of heritage houses.
When it comes to food, the Sheraton goes global in is offerings. Choices include a jazzy New York City-inspired spot, a Jamaican restaurant with a reggae soundtrack and a lobby café with specialty coffees from around the world (try the Vienna mocha).

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The location on Sheikh Zayed Road is a five-minute walk to the World Trade Center metro station. Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Financial Center are a stone’s throw away, making this hotel a good central choice for both leisure and business travelers.
- Don’t miss the rooftop poolside bar Dawn & Dusk, on the 54th floor, for a cocktail and shisha over spectacular sunset views of the Dubai skyline.
- Staying in a Club Room grants you access to the Sheraton Club Lounge, an exclusive space where you can enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon hors d’oeuvres and happy hour in the evenings.

- The modern, stylish guest rooms also provide a spacious, soothing respite — especially the custom-made beds.
Things to Know

- The city’s best restaurants, bars and clubs are located along the same road as the Dubai hotel, so you’ll have plenty of options, should you want to try something other than the property’s venues.
