We have just returned home from a wonderful few days at the Grosvenor Hotel . We had luxury and were treated like royalty.Me and my wife have visited Dubai on numerous occasions but felt this was our best visit .Weboth enjoyed Buddas Bar and Indego was very special. We took some family friends who were blown away with the city and all its splendour.We met a very famous celebrity in Bar 44 . We all would return to Dubai tommorrow given half the chance .One of our friends had sore feet from all the walking but this did not seem to matter . Dubai marina is fab and would like to live there one day.

I don't need to go into everything about this Hotel; it's all been said before. The service is impeccable nothing is ever an issue and they are genuinely trying to anticipate your needs at all time.

The food is amazing, Buddha Bar is certainly a must but you need to book a couple of days in advance as it is always busy. I would also recommend a club room with access to 44 club lounge. Dubai is a wee bit pricey and you get 2 hours of free drinks and canapés with the club room which covered the extra we paid for it many times over.

Dubai is undergoing a lot of change right now so everywhere you look there is building work going on. To me it was amazing to see the birth of a city and I am looking forward to going back and watching it progress, to others I guess they might find the noise and activity annoying.

My last tips are, don’t go on the river cruise, there isn't much to see and the food is a huge let down but do go on the Dune Safari run by Arabian Adventures it is excellent. Also for a really pleasant place to go and have a drink try bar 360, go to the Jumaria Beach Hotel and ask for it, they will drive you out to it.

booked after reading the reviews on trip advisor for four nights but flew home after two.

The hotel is lovely inside, but not being able to go to any area that is non smoking (people smoking walking around etc) and not being able to go anywhere in Dubai on foot from the hotel, it is a 24/7 noisy building site!

The staff efficient/polite.

Am I missing something about Dubai? shopping ok but I can do that anywhere, not that cheap either. I found Dubai "manufactured" and without a soul.

July isn't the best time of year to go to Dubai, but my wife and I were looking for a weekend away from Doha. We booked a room at GH, and when they found out it was our anniversary, they upgraded us to a better room/small suite. I don't know if I have stayed in a better room...enormous bathroom, incredibly comfortable bed, two flat screen TVs, all lights/tvs/AC on a remote control. I could go on and on, but you really need to see it for yourself.

Another plus is that the hotel is connected to the famous Buddha Bar Restaurant / Lounge. We had been planning on just doing drinks there (dinner elsewhere), but on the recommendations of several friends, we decided to dinner as well. We were not disappointed, as it was the best dinner of our trip. A bit on the expensive side, but the food was great and the atmosphere more than made up for the cost. If you have drinks upstairs, avoid the champagne cocktails (not much to write home about and very expensive) and instead go straight for the blueberry mojito. A fine beverage...
