Opening in 2015 in Business Bay near Downtown, with 35 floors overlooking the towering Burj Khalifa, this opulent hotel has many examples of Indian artworks - plus numerous examples of Arabian culture - spread over the hotel. There's also a British-style gastropub, Asian street food restaurant and other eateries including the brilliant Bombay Brasserie around the building. Public areas are spacious, including a large, double-height lobby. The hotel's 296 comfortable neutrally decorated guest rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows have plenty of mod cons and luxuries, and there's a lovely rooftop pool with sun beds on the decking, a 24-hour fitness centre and swish spa.
The nearby Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest structure, towers over the hotel.
The hotel is in bustling Business Bay, a 20-minute drive from Downtown Dubai.
By plane: flights from London and Manchester to Dubai take 7 hours. The hotel is a 20-minute drive from the airport. Free private parking on-site. skyscanner.com
The hotel is equally suited for both business and leisure guests alike. Indian culture is ever-present, with hundreds of sculptures and artworks throughout the property.
You're treated like royalty from the start: a welcoming ceremony to encourage good luck for you includes presentation of a sandalwood-bead necklace and a dot of sandalwood paste on your forehead (optional), a welcome drink and cold towel.

Bombay Brasserie is outstanding, and not just the food. The inventive cocktails may appear in a haze of steam or with a similar theatrical presentation. Our favourite dishes are the baked avocado in a spiced marinade starter and a main with the tenderest lamb coated in masala sauce.
