Really enjoyed our stay at Taj Dubai - having stayed at Taj Cape Town the previous year we had an idea of what to expect.
Distance to Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa - make use of the free shuttle service for this, walking in the Dubai heat is no joke. The shuttle service helps makes this easier. Taxis are also readily available from the hotel or Dubai Mall.
The Metro station for Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall is a long walk away btw so if you're in a hurry, set out early or.. take a taxi.
The hotel abd staff were all very welcoming, pleasant and accomodating. The breakfast is varied to a point, we stayed for 7 days, it got a little samey so a little more variety would be great. Staff though are great.
Our room was lovely and ready earlier than expected which was a very pleasant start to our stay. Its worth getting a room with lounge access - high tea and.cocktail hours are great after a day exploring or just for indulging.
We also took advantage of the pool facilities - great for a cool down in the heat.
Overall we had a great time at the Taj Dubai
