We have just stayed at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel for almost two weeks. A (business) buzzing Hotel which ideally fits the guest profile of a business traveller. Close to the DIFC (walking distance), smart range of restaurants and small but exquisite shopping mall, it meets most of the requirements a busy professional has when loaded with a heavy itinary. The business centre is absolut professional and state of the art, the lobby and the cigar lounge on the 10th floor ideal for informal meetings. Especial praise to the ladies in the lounge who offer impeccable service despite the busy lounge. The Mosaico Restaurant is very good for a varied breakfast and super buffet (business) luncheons. The receptionist of this Restaurant is by the way most professional and helpful. The pool is ok, nothing special. Good room service, clean. The staff of the fitness club is friendly and helpful, though the range of fitness machines are outdated and need serious replacement. The check-in/check-out service is close to unfriendly and needs serious management attention. The door men are ever so helpful to organise a driver/taxi efficiently and are very friendly. The lady at the entrance is greeting you with a nice smile. All in all, good to very good, with a few amendments to be made. With new management now in place, this should be possible? This is not a hotel for tourists, you may use the other Jumeirah Hotels for a holiday - they are very nice (!) but for the busy executive on the go! We look forward going back!

First let me tell you that Jumeirah is the best hotel company in the world. I've travelled many places in the world and none compares. We have stayed in many Jumeirah properties and they are the best! But this time Emirates Towers didn't live up to the Jumeirah reputation. We have stayed here many times when it just opened. This time we stayed in Emirates Towers because my teen daughters wanted to shop in their boutique shops connected to the hotel. It's so nice to have a shopping mall next to the hotel and be able to buy Starbucks. Upon check-in, our special requests were not honored and the management had to come after the reception lady was absolutely horrible to us. Rooms were great, room service great as typical of the hotel. The free breakfast we got in the rate was quite nice. Their media system in the room is quite impressive. I wish I had time to soak in one of their prepared baths for ony Dhs60. However, one man just walked in on my daughter who was in the bathroom at the time. I complained to the guest services and of course they apologized. He didn't speak english nor arabic and I couldn't tell him what he did wrong.
For families with children: I should have booked just two regular rooms connected as the suite bedroom was far away from the other bedroom and we ended up sleeping all together in one room. Their roll away bed was so uncomfortable (like a rock) I slept on the floor. The table was nice to have but the regular rooms are not small.

The best thing is the room key (shaped like one of the towers). The rooms are ok - spacious but bland/ corporate and a bit dated; the bathrooms are pretty nice. The reception staff were friendly and helpful; the concierge were pretty useless and stuck up. Its a convenient place to stay if you are working nearby, otherwise don't bother. Overall, not worth the money.

This modern hotel feels great. From the moment you arrive, you feel like you've entered this oasis of modernity, coolness and calm amidst the desert that is Dubai. The soaring atrium is impressive and the elevators are really amazing (they're glass fronted and you get this amazing view as you go up to your room right down the whole enclosed front of the building. When you press the "down" button, it also tells you right away which elevator will be coming for you - very handy).

The rooms are positively palatial - with all the mod-cons you could wish for. There's controls for everything, and a nice long window sofa, perfect for admiring views across the horizon.

Since the Jumeirah belongs to the chain that also owns the Burj-Al-Arab, you can get to visit that hotel just by showing your room key to the Jumeirah! This saves you from having to either purchase an expensive pass to visit or trying to book (a hard to get) dinner at the Burj to enter it.

The staff are great too - there seems to be a lot of them around!
