by Chris Murphy, Chr

Jumeirah owns the Emirates Towers hotel, the Jumeirah Beach hotel, the Madinat group of hotels, which includes Mina A Salam, Al Qasr & the Madinat Souk which houses the largest swimming pool in the Middle East. Jumeirah also owns the amazing desert hotel, Bab Al Shams, located in the desert with sand dunes rolling from its perimeters and making a fantastic landscape for the falcon shows and camel riding they offer.

All Jumeirah hotels have amazing architecture and are worth a visit for this alone. This, together with their famous customer service values, makes them a great choice for visitors to Dubai. For a true taste of Arabia, visit the Madinat Souk, part of the Madinat and Mina A Salam complex located on Jumeirah beach. This resort offers 42 restaurants overlooking the Burj Al Arab and each is situated on the edge of their very own canal. Watch the dhows transport the hotel guests around this vast complex on their waterways and lagoon. It really is a beautiful spot for a sundowner or a meal incorporating food from all over the world.

There are many other famous branded hotels in Dubai, from The One and Only Royal Mirage to Hiltons, Sheratons (both beach and airport locations), the Kempinski Group, Shangri La Group and Crown Plaza among many others. Most hotels are at 5 star standard, however there are some lower cost hotels such as the 4 star Al Manzil hotel, located behind the world's tallest building the Burj Dubai nestling in its own Arabian style architecture and complementing the huge sky rise buildings surrounding it.

The Grosvenor House hotel located in Dubai Marina is a fantastic venue for staying or visiting their restaurants and bars. Have a drink in Bar 44 located on the 44th floor of the hotel and offering amazing views of the Marina area, and then take the express lift down to the fabulous Buddha Bar for a fusion of Thai and international cuisine.

All 5 star hotels in Dubai have pools, gyms and restaurant facilities with many offering spa areas as well. Of course the cr'me de la cr'me of spa facilities has to be located within the 7 star hotels of the Burj Al Arab, where reservations are recommended and the environment is so much part of the treatment you will never want to leave!

Many hotels also offer apartment facilities so if you are here longer term and want to experience more of the home comforts, these are a great option.

Other companies capitalizing on the huge tourism market here are with their Versace Palazzo hotel and the Trump Towers hotel (located on the famous Palm Island). Versace should be opening its doors to the international elite during 2008 with the Trump Tower hotel opening scheduled to be around early 2010.

Ranging from amazing desert hotels, luxury beach hotels and fantastic corporate hotels in the city, Dubai offers an eclectic mix to choose from. However, all are within close proximity of all tourist facilities, shopping malls and attractions as well as its fantastic beaches - you can't go far wrong with any location. Most city business hotels located along Sheikh Zayed road also have affiliations with beach hotels and will transport you to the beach during your stay.

Traveling to Dubai from across the Arabian sea can be a rewarding experience. Many people have discovered this fascinating aspect in the last several decades and many more will continue doing the same in the years to follow. With so much of tourism headed towards Dubai, it was but logical for so many of the 5 star hotels to have got a foothold here. However, before planning out your next vacation to this part of the world, you should know what options you could choose from various hotel offers. Luxurious stay could be one of the options, only if your budget allows you to meet with the challenges lying ahead. There are so many low-end hotels on the other hand, that not only offer world class accommodation but also do so at a fairly reduced price.

Let us get some basic ideas of the rates and facilities normally these hotels would offer to any of their clients. We start by getting an overview of one of the most famous names in expensive staying, "Jumeirah Beach Hotel". This wonderfully constructed seashore landmark of Dubai is one of the best of its kind and highly expensive in the entire world. Its fascinating architecture matches well with the level of Arabian warmth they are known to offer their services with. With facilities such as a health spa, swimming pools, golf driving range, tennis courts, a private beach, and a featured unlimited access to Wild Wadi Park, the "Jumeriah Beach Hotel" facility is probably one of the best places to be visited on the planet by any traveller. However, at $811 per suite per night rate, it is also one of the most expensive ones and unsuitable for the normal kind of holidaying.

There are more affordable options on the other hand, that most of the usual visitors would like to have a look on. One among many such names is the 4 star facility named "One&Only Royal Mirage". This hotel offers a highly world class care and accommodation at a fairly reduced price of $280 per night's stay. The facility "One&Only Royal Mirage" is located in Jumeira Beach, just twenty minutes away from the airport. This place is the perfect example for describing how non-expensive hotels in Dubai were not necessarily ordinary. Every single room in this hotel provides a wonderful ocean view. An exclusive beach, themed bar, croquet lawn, tennis courts, and other services are what characterize this place as one meant for people who demand the highest standards, at affordable rates.

Following down the line are cheap Dubai hotels that many of the visitors would be looking forward to having some information about. "Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach & Resort Marina", is one such 3 star hotel, that carries highly concessional rates, but offers rooms and services worthy of being called that of Dubai's status. The most noticeable feature of cheap Dubai hotels is their outstanding locations. One such example lies within the Meridien Mina Seyahi, which is just a few minutes away from the Mall of the Emirates and Ibn Battuta. It offers services such as: a health club, gym, steam room, kids club, sauna, aerobics etc. And all this fabulous booty starting at an amazingly low rate of $43 per night's stay.

These three examples are just the tip of an iceberg, Dubai's cheap and 5 star hotels could be described as. There is a vast range of information available these days online that you could easily have an access to and make use of to get your online bookings carried out. Just keep in mind while planning out your next visit to "The Jewel of the Sea", the 5 star hotels of Dubai are one in many but not the only one option. You could try out different places for your staying demands, and go back home with marvelous traveling tales.
