Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa

Bur Dubai


Opposite the Dubai Museum, this hotel is an excellent hub for city explorers. The Arabian theme extends from the turbaned lobby staff to the design flourishes in the decent-sized rooms, some of which catch glimpses of the Creek across the souq. Facilities include a pub with live music, a much-lauded Indian restaurant, a swimming pool, a spa and a gym.

One child under 11 stays free.
