Where to stay in Dubai

Downtown Dubai suits an itinerary focused on the city’s major sights. Dubai Marina and JBR place more emphasis on restaurants and beach access, while Palm Jumeirah is organised around resort stays. Those are different kinds of base rather than interchangeable parts of one compact centre.

For a more focused trip, explore hotels in Dubai Marina for New Year’s Eve.
