1. Voco Dubai (formerly Nassima Royal Hotel) (from USD 102)
Reasonable pricing for spacious rooms and good dining options.
Convenient location, helpful staff, and a good variety of amenities including a pool and Indian restaurant.
Close to Deira City Center, Dubai Mall, and Marina, with easy access to public transport.
Good breakfast buffet, enjoyable lunch and dinner options, but some areas for improvement in terms of variety and service.
Previous occupants book their time at Voco Dubai for that instant access to tickets to nearby attractions or major events. Not that there isn’t much to do within the hotel itself. Hanging around the pool comes handy especially when you need some tan. If you’d rather spend a day or two pampering yourself, access to the hot tub, sauna, and other spa amenities are included in your reservation. Just verify by the front desk to ensure which perks apply. Complimentary breakfast is part of the deal though. There’s a coffee house found on site apart from the six in-house restaurants you can choose from for lunch and/or dinner.

2. Jumeirah Emirates Towers (from USD 340)
Jumeirah Emirates Towers is the hotel for you to book if you’re interested to take the kids to the Wild Wadi Waterpark any time of the month. It is the best perk that comes with unlimited access. Within the area itself, there is so much to do from keeping your fitness routine up and running by the fitness centers or trying the various dishes served at the six restaurants found on site. Highly recommended spots for you to enjoy lunch and dinner are at The Rib Room (for steak enthusiasts) and Alta Badia (for travelers that prefer Italian cuisine).

3. The Meydan Hotel (from USD 176)
Reasonable pricing for luxurious experience with spacious rooms and excellent service.
Integrated with the Grand Stand for horse race track views, rooftop pool, and modern design.
Serene atmosphere away from city huddles, close to major attractions but limited nearby shops.
Delicious and wide breakfast selection, excellent dining options, and welcoming staff.
The Meydan Hotel’s biggest claim to fame is being the world’s first trackside hotel. Very convenient for race track participants themselves and their entourage. The same convenience applies to the sport’s enthusiasts and spectators alike. They would definitely take advantage of the remaining time found in the reservation by enjoying the amenities in the hotel itself. With five restaurants within the site itself, you will never run out of choices in case your cravings kick in. The hotel’s infinity rooftop pool is a great place to hang out before calling it a day in your chosen suite. Suites facing the racetrack are of limited availability.

If you are into private pools, booking one of the highly in-demand four-bedroom penthouses with a private pool is recommended. This hotel is also perfect for travelers with an entourage to host a staycation. Dining on site is a breeze. Thanks to the six restaurants within the vicinity.

Amenities give you an idea of the luxurious version of a staycation complete with the complimentary bath salt. The centerpiece of the three restaurants featured in this area is Benjarong, serving contemporary Thai cuisine. Unwinding by the poolside bar is for extra.

In between pool hangout times, you can enjoy some meals in some of the restaurants found on site. You would love the international cuisine experience provided by the critically-acclaimed Kitchen6.

You have the option to get into a suite that has a good view of the Burj Khalifa. Most of the restaurants on site serve lunch and dinner. But to stay true to the Indian theme, having dinner at the only Indian-themed restaurant, Bombay Brassiere is highly recommended.

You own your time, you spend your own money and you are not pressurized to stay within an itinerary that someone else planned for you. This way, you are the master of your own staycation. Enjoy Dubai for all its worth and look forward to your next trip.
