JW Marriott Marquis Dubai | Luxury Hotel Deals

The JW Marriott Marquis sits in Dubai's Business Bay district, a short walk from the canal and the commercial towers that line it. The hotel occupies two tall connected towers, so most rooms look out over the city skyline or the waterway below. Downtown Dubai is close, which makes it easy to reach the main sights without spending long in traffic. The metro and the wider road network are both within reach, so getting to the older parts of the city or out to the coast takes little planning.

Rooms are large and finished in warm wood with floor-to-ceiling windows. You book a Deluxe Double room here, with the option of one large bed or two singles. The hotel runs an outdoor pool, a full gym, and a spa with treatment rooms and a hammam. There are several restaurants on site covering different cuisines, plus bars higher up the towers. The room comes without meals, but breakfast and dining credits can be added when you book if you want them.

Business Bay station and the canal walk are both on the doorstep. Burj Khalifa is about 2.1 km away, with the Dubai Fountain just beyond it at 2.2 km. Dubai Mall, with its aquarium and ice rink, sits 2.6 km from the hotel. For a day by the water, Wild Wadi Water Park is 8.6 km out, near the Burj Al Arab at 8.8 km. A taxi covers most of these quickly, and the metro handles the longer runs across the city.

This suits couples and travellers who want a central base with good transport links and plenty to do close by. The large rooms and pool also work well for a longer winter stay.
