Kempinski Central Avenue Dubai

Shopping starts at the front door here. The hotel is part of Dubai Mall, so its boutiques, the aquarium and the ice rink are minutes away without stepping outside. The Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain are a short walk through the mall, and the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro station connects to the mall via a covered walkway.

Kempinski gives this Downtown address a modern design with Arabic and local influences. Iconic views of the city's landmarks add to the experience, and the mood is calm and elegant, a welcome retreat from the mall's bustle.

Rooms are generous, with Superior rooms starting at 41 square metres, featuring city views and luxurious furnishings. Deluxe rooms add private balconies overlooking the Boulevard and its landmarks, while Premier rooms reach 70 square metres. Some Club rooms face the Burj Khalifa. Connecting rooms are available in some categories.

Dining spans modern Middle Eastern cuisine with panoramic views of the city's landmarks, a Mediterranean and Asian restaurant with immersive AI entertainment, and a nature-inspired buffet. The lounge is ideal for afternoon tea or a break between shopping sessions.

High above the Boulevard, the rooftop infinity pool stretches out towards the skyline, lined with trees and plush loungers, with the Burj Khalifa in full view. Senses Spa is a welcome retreat, with a private couples' suite, signature rituals and massages, and a spa pool with iconic views.
