We stayed in the Intercontinental Hotel Dubai for a 7 day break in April. This being my 12th trip to Dubai since 2001 was probably the best hotel I have stayed in Dubai. The service and the food was exceptional and staff always happy to help (like in most Dubai hotels). The rooms were spacious with flat screen tv and... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 3 days in Feb 2008. The hotel is close to the airport which was great when we arrived. The staff was very attentive and immediately upgraded us to a deluxe room. The rooms are ultra modern and very comfortable. This hotel is attached to a great mall with a food court... more

The style, elegance and service found in this hotel are quite exceptional. The staff made every effort, in a friendly and charming way, to make us enjoy each aspect of our stay. We loved our room which was well designed with sleek lines and carefully chosen pieces of art and sculpture along with elegant furniture and heavenly bedding. Sitting in... more

I just stayed here at this hotel this past week for three nights and then a day later for one night. I was there originally for a conference and then for a lay-over night as my flight came back to Dubai in the evening and my next flight wasn't until the next morning. Anyway, the hotel itself is great. The... more

Came here after two nights in Crowne Plaza. All my comments regardiing its location apply here. I don't propose to repeat beyond saying the position of hotel is not ideal for either business or beach users. Rooms were magnificent. Spotless. The cleaner did a superb job. My one reservation was the shower which is in the bathroom. I have not... more

Our stay was great - a special rate for a 2 bedroom suite we probably won't be able to get again for their summer promotion. I was impressed with their breakfast. They have a fruit smoothie bar where you pick which fruits and they blend it for you right there, waffle bar, japanese and arab breakfast plus the usuals such... more

I'm sitting here in the Intercontinental right now in a 2 bedroom suite. Really lovely room and got a great rate on it for the summer. The only problem we had was that when it was time for check-in at 3pm they said we didn't have a room even though we asked for early check-in. The excuse was that everyone... more

I'll keep this short and sweet: the Intercontinental Festival City is excellent. Friendly staff (with an unusually high Far East presence for Dubai), rooms of a high standard, great bathrooms, good and very varied food in the main and French restaurants, and a two wonderful swimming pools. One of which, with its several storey overhang, is not for those afraid... more

This is the BEST hotel I have stayed at so far. It was truly an epiphany of how a hotel should be run. The room was impeccable, but what I appreciated the most was the SERVICE level: always eager to help, always a smile, prompt, nothing impossible for them, knowledgeable and personal. I strongly recommend you consider this hotel if... more
