    A lovely boutique hotel with friendly staff. Room was spacious, well designed, clean, comfortable. A fridge is available in the room with complimentary water bottles. There's supermarket in the area if you needed snacks. The location is good with the metro station close by, 1 min walk, overlooking dubai creek. Breakfast was good, a buffet of international food for everyone and I was able to ask for gluten free bread and walnuts that were missing from buffet.

    The property itself is stunning, but I specifically liked the room. Great design and feels spacious and unique. The amenities in the room are also very interesting- it is the first time I’ve seen make up remover offered in the bathroom (great for ladies!).I was greeted and welcomed by the hotel manager, who was so helpful, friendly and hospitable! Thanks a lot to him for his assistance and warm welcome; I will definitely return again.

    Al Habtoor Hotel it’s such a lovely property, plenty of parking and valet also. With an equestrian vibe throughout the hotel there are exquisite horse sculptures and art. We were greeted by Cherry on reception who assisted us with our check in, we were upgraded from a junior suit the an executive suit. Thank you. Our suit was beautiful, incredibly spacious and the interior design had a very boutique vibe about it. We had a huge balcony overlooking the Polo field. Rooms service was very efficient and fast!

    The penthouse is lovely, with a special interior design, decorated with care and attention to detail. Clean and comfortable, with a stylish choice of furniture and appliances. The balcony is huge and has a beautiful view over the Marina. We've had a smooth check in process and great communication with the host LUX. Amazing location, short walking distance to the beach and many restaurants and coffee shops. Highly recommend.

    Amazing, luxury experience from the second I stepped out of the taxi on arrival. Complimentary welcome drink and cold towel at check in and the most lovely and welcoming reception and door staff. Room was beautiful and clean. The interior design is unmatched, so cool. The restaurant on the roof top is amazing (31st floor), food was delicious and there was a live singer on too, who was very talented. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, easily one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in worldwide.
