The Shangri-la essentially is a businessman's hotel so everything is kept very professional. The room was nicely appointed. The only problem was with the amenities, although very good (Aigner) they were highly perfumed which could pose a problem for a lot of travellers. Also, one would expect that a hotel of this caliber and price would not charge $40.00/hr to... more

We would always choose Shangri la Dubai for our business trips. Our recent visit (Oct 2008) was just awful! we were staying in room 3802 and found bed bugs! We complained to the hotel so they gave us an upgrade to a suite which was on the 41st floor. The suite also had bugs in the room! more

A great hotel, fantastic rooms and the staff cannot do enough for you. Pool area is a good escape from the surrounding traffic and is surprisingly quiet. The spa is also well worth a visit. The only down side is the traffic, but what you would expect from Dubai. All in all a great hotel more

This stay was actually my best stay in a hotel ever! I arrived really late after having arranged transfer with the hotel, about 2 am and i did not have to fill any papers out to check in but they took me directly to the room just to sign a paper and then to get to sleep in 5 minutes.... more

We stayed at the Shangri-La on the back end of our honeymoon in the Maldives. We had 4 nights in a deluxe room on the 32nd floor. We loved the hotel for it's friendly smiling staff, to the very well appointed rooms and amazing breakfast!!! The room in particular was very modern. I loved the compact nature of the room,... more

I have just come back having spent a week there with my mother and sister. I thought it was great. The deluxe room on the 35th floor had fantastic views over the sea. The breakfasts were fantastic. The pool is excellent (but get there early), but what blew me away was the service from ALL the staff, receptionists, door staff,... more

This property is right at the far end of Sheik Zayed road where most of the new building work is going on. On approach it does not have a 5* feel being penned in by other high rise buildings with main entrance tucked around side. The problem with the location is also everything is a cab ride away which means... more
