“The obelisk-shaped architecture makes a striking impression, a nod to Luxor Temple in the heart of Dubai. I was particularly drawn to the dining experiences, helmed by celebrity chefs, and the unique Sofitel Spa with L'Occitane, the first in the region. Its location allows for exploring both the older parts of Dubai and the newer attractions with equal ease.”

mixed feelings about this stay
insincere survey
i waited quite a while sometimes. also, during a room service order, the staff seemed too eager to have my wife complete a survey. Many responses were pre-filled with top ratings. it felt a bit insincere and left a somewhat sour aftertaste. This was the only room service we had.

the rooms are very spacious. i had a luxury king room and the bathroom was especially lovely (it had two separate sinks!). i also appreciated that the hotel is connected directly to the wafi mall.
The breakfast options were somewhat limited. i thought the cereal selection could have been better. also, i noticed there was no turndown service at night. This was unexpected.
