Instead of choosing somewhere with no character, why not select one of the top ten boutique hotels in Dubai.

A Trip to Dubai
Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is widely considered to be a jewel of a city. It is best known for its incredible skyline and for being a haven for designer shoppers and the party people of the world. It’s a city that has a million things for you to do, you’ll never have a dull moment! For the moments when you have to get in a bit of downtime, you’ll need a hotel or Airbnb. Instead of booking into some vast, anonymous hotel without any character, why not check out some of Dubai’s incredible boutique hotels instead? We’ve put together a list of the top ten to take a little more stress out of the travel process for you. A lavish retreat in Dubai awaits!
ME Dubai
A glittering palace in the Burj Khalifa district, the ME Dubai is a place that stands head and shoulders above the rest. The buildings flowing, organic shapes create really positive energy in the area, and the glittering glass brings light to everything around it. If you’re after a serene and peaceful stay, this is definitely the place for you. Inside the rooms, you’ll be treated to a 4k LED TV, a little bar as well tea and coffee facilities, a luxurious bathroom with a glorious torrential rain shower, bathtub, and a mind-blowing BOSE sound system. The services available are beyond reproach and can be tailored to your preferences. Check out the poolside club and enjoy performances from the hotel’s resident DJ. If you had never left the hotel your entire stay, you would still have seen the best of Dubai.
Address Montgomerie
If quaint and comfortable are what you’re looking for, the Address Montgomerie delivers. All of the rooms have a flat-screen TV, air conditioning (essential anywhere in the Emirates), a well-stocked minibar, and free wifi to keep you connected. Why not take it easy and have breakfast poolside? If you like to sleep late, room service is also available.
If you’re interested in seeing some of the local sights on your trip to Dubai, you can easily reach the Dubai Water Canal and the Cayan Tower from the hotel. If you feel like taking a walk, you could visit the Jumeirah Lake Towers.
Hues Boutique Hotel
The Hues is for the artistic among us. The rooms feature lovely dark wood complimented by brightly colored bedding to brighten up the place. The restaurants in the hotel are futuristic in design, featuring clean whites and a lot of bright color blocking, complimenting the rooms very well. Of course, all of the rooms have a minibar, flat-screen tv, air conditioning, and wifi facilities, but when you’re visiting beautiful Dubai, why would you stay in your hotel for longer than necessary! There are many exciting landmarks only a short distance from the hotel. You could visit the Bur Dubai Abra Dock or the Deira Old Souk Abra for a taste of what the Arab Emirates is all about.

Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa
Head a little further out of the city to experience the majesty of the Al Maha. This luxurious accommodation experience is nestled in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, and the view is exquisite. Take in the palm oasis and experience a desert adventure. Lounge in the infinity pool or watch the wildlife walk by from the deck. The hotel also offers two complementary activities as part of your stay!
Manzil Downtown
Experience a contemporary Arabesque setting at the Manzil Downtown boutique hotel. Its central location on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard makes it ideal if you’re looking to explore the delights of the city. Experience the best of Dubai gourmet dining all around you! It’s a stylish location for the modern explorer or business person; the perfect place to meet and hobnob.
Saffron Boutique Hotel
The Saffron offers incredibly spacious rooms, the most spacious in the four-star category in the city. Take in the city views from the rooftop pool, which is temperature-controlled for maximum relaxation. If you want to keep up with your training routine, you’ll have access to the hotel’s on-site gym. If you’d rather take it easy and sample some delicious local cuisine, the Saffron boasts two on-site restaurants.
Vida Downtown
The epitome of city relaxation, the Vida Downtown has enough amenities to keep you entirely occupied throughout your stay. Step out into the sunshine and try out the poolside cabanas for a day of chilling. If you’re in Dubai for work, not pleasure, the hotel offers excellent co-working spaces to keep you up to date on your to-do list. There are pet-friendly rooms available for those of you who travel with your furry friends.
One and Only The Palm
The luxurious oasis features a blend of Moorish and Andalusian architecture with a contemporary spin on its look. You can book into a room on the keys or set yourself up with an exclusive beach villa. The in-house facilities are excellent, featuring a beachfront, pool, a spa, and a fitness center. If you’re staying three nights or more with your family, you’ll receive complimentary passes to the Aquaventure water park.

Studio M Arabian Plaza
Cool is the word that we would use to describe Studio M Plaza. The rooms are all of the highest quality and have the best technology integrated for a seamless, comfortable stay. The hotel’s location is a short walk, or ride, from many beautiful Dubai sights and amenities. Check out the spice souk, use the metro station to get around, or visit the local yacht club.
Melia Desert Palm Dubai
This five-star boutique retreat is on the smaller side, but no lower quality for it. The staff are incredibly attentive, and the hotel boasts two award-winning restaurants. Both RARE and Epicure are available to all guests. You could book a spa day at the internationally acclaimed Samana Spa and have a relaxing day before taking in the city sights.
Enjoy your trip to Dubai at any one of these beautiful locations!
