After staying on the artificial palm island in Dubai, I also had a chance to stay in a more corporate hotel closer to the centre of the city (near Dubai Mall). The Jumeirah Emirates Towers is a sleek hotel with city views from its floor to ceiling windows.

It’s located beside a metro station and the hotel runs a free shuttle service to the old part of town every two hours. There are 15 restaurants and bars in the hotel, as well as an attached mall called The Boulevard.

Here are some photos of the hotel:
