Sheraton Mall of the Emirates Hotel Dubai

Sheraton Mall of the Emirates sits directly above its namesake mall on the second floor, connected by a dedicated lift lobby that turns one of Dubai's largest shopping destinations - and Ski Dubai beneath it - into an extension of the hotel. The location suits leisure travellers who want seamless access to shopping, dining and the metro without taxi hopping, as well as corporate guests anchored to the western business corridor. Rooms and suites are notably spacious for the Sheraton brand and hold up well once inside. Connecting families rooms with a king paired to a twin pair a serious amount of square footage with oversized, marble-clad bathrooms. Higher-floor categories on the 23rd and above face toward the Burj Al Arab and the JBR coast, and housekeeping is the property's standout craft - several long-staying guests call out creative turndown touches and birthday surprises from the team by name. Beds run plush and soft; guests who prefer a firmer mattress should note this before arrival. The Club Lounge on the upper floors is the social anchor for Bonvoy elites and Club-category guests, with a calm, well-paced breakfast, afternoon refreshments and evening canapes with cocktails. The lounge hosts (Arshad, Mamudou, Motiur, Sohel and Rasel are repeatedly cited) run an unusually attentive floor. Beyond the lounge, the on-property circuit includes Spartan sports bar with live football and beer on tap, an all-day international restaurant for the main buffet, a Turkish grill and a pool deck on the 24th floor with a long view and attentive lifeguard service. A well-equipped and rarely crowded gym rounds out the amenity set. A few honest caveats. The in-room minibar's alcohol presentation surprises some family travellers; the team will remove it on request without friction. Breakfast can slow down during peak holiday weeks, and the Club Lounge's cold breakfast format stops short of a full hot egg station that a few regulars would like to see added. Overall, for travellers whose Dubai plans lean toward shopping, family leisure and convenient metro access, this remains one of the most practical full-service picks on the western side of the city.
