I live in Abu Dhabi and came to stay at The Monarch Dubai during one of the weekends along with my spouse as they have a special weekend promotion running where I got two complimentary passes to the Dubai Aquarium. I must say that the experience was absolutely great. We stayed in an executive suite which is one of the... more

Flew from New York and arrived to dubai tired and longing for a good night sleep. The Monarch Dubai was a pure pleasure for a tired sole. The staff were excellent. There attention to details was comendable. The rooms are twice the size what we see in USA and Europe. Had a great night sleep and woke up for a... more

Check-in was great (I requested an upgrade to a suite and I got it :) .. and the room/views are amazing as well.

From the warm staff welcome, impressive facilities in and out of the room, state-of-the-art details and location, I think it´s one of the best options for a luxury accommodation in this vibrant city. Rooms are big and the beds are extremely comfortable. I also visited the Presidential Suite, an out of this world place. And a trendy bar completes the... more

Many people wrote that they found it somewhat peculiar that the hotel was nearly empty. Actually, it was quite empty when I was there, too. This is probably the reason why my company had cut an excellent deal for accommodating a number of it's employees for a conference. I remember some years ago that hotel rooms were hard to find... more

I loved everything from the excellent service to the amazing rooms. However the main setback was in fact the creepiness of the whole thing. The place was totally empty! There was nobody in the hotel, I swear! I have no idea why. The staff may have been just a little bit too friendly, the place might have been just a... more
