Rove Downtown

Explore Downtown on foot for a fraction of what its neighbours charge. Dubai Mall is under ten minutes' walk from the hotel on Al Mustaqbal Street. Beyond it lie the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain and Dubai Opera. Dubai World Trade Centre is a five-minute drive away, and the Financial Centre Metro is about a 12-minute walk.

Bright and artistic, the interiors feature locally curated details inspired by Dubai's creative scene. Foosball, table tennis and video games are scattered through the public spaces, and the co-working areas hum all day. The mood is social and easy-going, and the hotel never takes itself too seriously.

Book a Burj View room and the city's most famous skyline fills your window. Every room shares the same smart layout, with a sofa bed, mini fridge, 48-inch smart TV and power rain shower. Gamers can go one step further in a Gamer Cave, kitted out with a high-performance rig and two 144Hz screens.

The breakfast buffet is generous: pastries, fruit, cheeses and freshly cooked dishes, with unlimited coffee. The hotel's American-style restaurant serves it, and it also handles casual lunches and dinners, while a convenience store takes care of late-night snacks.

Few pools in the city offer a view like this. The outdoor saltwater pool faces the Burj Khalifa, and a gym keeps your routine going. Arrive early to use both before check-in.
