Paramount Hotel Midtown | 4 nights in Hollywood Flair

Paramount Hotel Midtown sits in Business Bay, Dubai's financial district along the canal. The tower puts you within walking distance of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai, so you can reach the big sights on foot or with a short metro ride. Cinema-themed design runs through the building, a nod to the Paramount Pictures brand. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the upper rooms open onto the skyline, and the location balances quiet residential streets with quick access to the city centre.

The rooftop infinity pool faces the Burj Khalifa, and several guests single it out as the highlight. There is a spa with treatment rooms, a marble jacuzzi and sauna area, plus a fitting gym with skyline views. Rooms are modern, with wood panelling, large windows and the cinematic styling the hotel is known for. On-site dining covers a couple of restaurants and a bar, and breakfast can be added at booking if you want it.

Business Bay station is the closest metro stop, linking you to the rest of Dubai. The Burj Khalifa is under a kilometre away, with the Dubai Fountain and the Dubai Mall a short walk or taxi beyond it. Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo sit inside the mall, about 1.4 km from the hotel. The canal promenade outside the tower is good for an evening stroll, and Downtown's restaurants and shops are an easy hop away.

Couples who want a stylish city base near Downtown Dubai without paying Downtown prices. The rooftop pool and spa suit a slower pace, while the metro and short walk to the Burj Khalifa keep the sightseeing simple.
