Hotel description
A lively hotel on Dubai's beachfront, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel was built in the form of a breaking wave and has quickly become one of the most highly praised and appreciated hotels in the world. It has been decorated throughout to reflect the four elements and at its heart is a ninety-metre-high sculpture which sits in the dramatic atrium of the hotel.
Due to its structure and location, all six hundred rooms and suites at the The Jumeirah Beach Hotel enjoy a spectacular sea view. Bedrooms are spacious and furnished in a contemporary style with cheerful yet restful colours. The rooms with balconies are particularly sought after. The rooms are large, with most able to accommodate up to 2 adults and 2 children. On one side of the ‘wave,’ the rooms face the nearby Wild Wadi water theme park, where guests have unlimited free access during their stay.Children are extremely well catered for with their own swimming pool and Sinbad’s Kids’ Club, where they can enjoy a comprehensive range of activities that changes on a daily basis. The hotel has a choice of twenty bars and restaurants, allowing you to enjoy a world of dining experiences. From regional Lebanese cuisine in Al Khayal and a Polynesian-inspired menu in Beachcombers on the seafront, to the authentic Italian cuisine of Carnevale, you are sure to find something that suits you. The The Jumeirah Beach resort’s enormous choice extends also to sports facilities, from swimming in the 25-metre lap pool, to beach volleyball and squash.For those seeking something a little more sedate, the hotel has three beautiful beaches ideal for relaxing and an excellent spa for some pampering. The Jumeirah Beach Hotel combines exceptionally high standards of comfort, service and facilities with a lively atmosphere.
