Twin-towered Grosvenor House was the first hotel to open among the jumble of the Dubai Marina’s sky-punching towers. The public areas are sleek, grown-up and angular in a vague art-deco aesthetic, but rooms feel warm and homey with their cream and brown hues brightened by red accents. The range of quality bars and restaurants is extraordinary.
Grosvenor guests also get full access to the pool and beach of the nearby sister hotel, Le Royal Meridien.
