W Dubai - The Palm

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

Arguably the globe’s coolest name in hotels, the W has finally hit Dubai’s coveted Palm Jumeirah neighbourhood. Seriously stylish, it brings the W’s famous VIP vibe with it, with audacious design and décor, Michelin-starred master chefs at its signature dining venues, a spa that mixes chilled massages with playful party-prep treatments like coloured lashes, and chic hangout spaces like SoBe – a rooftop bar with 360 degree views over Dubai’s skyscrapers and the Arabian Sea. The fashionable feel continues down at W The Palm Dubai’s WET Deck, where you’ll find a pristine sandy shoreline, DJ booth, and space-age cabana pods sitting on pool-top platforms.

We are on a short vacation in Dubai when my husband decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary dinner at Akira Back. While we knew it was a fancy place, it still exceeded our expectations regarding the quality of food and service. We opted for their greatest hits menu, and it was incredible. Each dish provided a unique and wonderful experience. We are especially grateful to Tengku, who ensured that all our needs were met during our visit. He patiently explained each dish and thoroughly answered all our questions, helping us make informed decisions. The wine pairings he suggested complemented our dishes perfectly, and he always served us with a smile and warmth. Overall, our experience was amazing. The view was breathtaking, and everyone was incredibly nice and accommodating. If we have the chance to visit Dubai again, we will definitely return to this restaurant. Read less

Having stayed at W Dubai – The Palm before, I knew I was in for a treat when I decided to return. My previous visit was absolutely amazing, and this stay managed to exceed even those high expectations! I used my Nightly Upgrade Awards for the Marvelous Jacuzzi Suite, and it was simply incredible. The suite is a masterpiece of design and luxury, with the jacuzzi being the ultimate highlight. It’s easily one of the best rooms I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. The service continues to be a hallmark of this property. A special thank you to Rudaina for her warm and attentive care that made us feel so valued. The entire team, from engineering to housekeeping and in-room dining, provided a seamless and exceptional experience. I look forward to coming back again for another unforgettable stay. Thank you to the entire team for consistently delivering excellence! -F Read less
