There are essentially 2 categories of hotel accommodation in Dubai; city hotels and beach resorts.
Most of the city hotels are found in Deira, Bur Dubai and Sheikh Zayed Road, while the beach resorts are located in Al Sufouh, Umm Suqeim, and at the Dubai Marina.
Alcohol regulations mean that hotels are home the majority of the city’s restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
Occupancy rates are amongst the highest in the world, so early booking is recommended.
Hotel rates are currently high but are expected to drop as Dubai’s new hotels begin to open over the next few years.
