<\/p>\n

When researching where to stay in Dubai, I was overwhelmed! There were so many choices and options! Not to mention the city is sprawling so finding the right location where you can easily bounce around from attraction to attraction is key.<\/p>\n

One place kept coming up through my pre-trip research and that was the Shangri-La Hotel<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 I kept seeing comments like “Best Views of the Dubai Skyline”, “Perfect location” and “Favourite Dubai hotel!”. After seeing some of the shots from the hotel’s rooftop level, I was sold and I am so glad we booked it!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located in a prime spot downtown, the Shangri La is essentially in the epicenter of Dubai. You are a quick 10 minute taxi drive to the Mall, Burj Khalifa, the DIFC area ( where so many restaurants are), another quick 10 minute drive to hot spots like La Mer Beach and best of all- only 15 minutes from the airport!\u00a0<\/p>\n

THE GROUNDS<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Walking into the lobby of Shangri- La you instantly noticed the tranquil yet luxe vibe that the brand is well known for. Between the lobby and the second floor, you can find numerous areas to set up shop at or eat! With fresh flower arrangements, gold accents and super high ceilings, it truly felt like a breath of fresh air walking into the space each day!<\/p>\n

The hotel’s main breakfast buffet is located on the main level of the lobby which we ate at everyday! It offers loads and loads of selections that would whet any sort of appetite. I’m talking options like fresh Omelet stations, Yogurt Bars, Waffles, Fresh Juices and my favourite of all- a little fresh bakery station with mini donuts, scones, mini muffins, and croissants! Yes please.<\/p>\n

In addition to their breakfast offerings, they also house some well known and mouth watering restaurant options like The Shang Place<\/strong><\/a> which features traditional Chinese cuisine or Hoi An<\/strong><\/a>, a Vietnamese restaurant with items like Pho and other creations that feature delicate spicing and flairs.<\/p>\n

One of my favourite amenities though was the afternoons spent at the hotel’s outdoor pool located on the 4th floor. Accessibly by a bridge that connects to the hotel, this felt like a true sanctuary after a long morning exploring the city! The main pool area is circled with palm trees, has bright pink cushions and accents and fresh cocktail offerings! All in all a perfect way to enjoy that hot Arabian sun! If the heat is too much for you, don’t worry- they have you covered! Located on the 42nd floor, there is also an indoor pool where you also get incredible views of the Burj Khalifa<\/p>\n
