This is a beautiful destinantion hotel in Dubai. The outstanding aspect in my mind was the bed. Marriott use de Witts beds. It was so comfortable I pulled off the sheets to find the name tag! In keeping with this level of hotel the service and standards are really superb. No wonder the Burj al Arab is always half empty ther is no need to spend stupid amounts of money to stay in a monument to architecture when everythig you need in a 5 star hotel is here. Close to great shopping.

It has to be said that the JW Marriott never seizes to amaze me! During my last stay I have enjoyed tremendous service across the board with smiling and courteous staff. On this particular occasion, being the Nutter that I am, I managed to loose my credit card. I approached the Front Desk staff asking for help as I was due to depart later that day. Almost instantly a search mission commenced which involved tens of people. Sure enough, my credit card was found within minutes of reporting the incident, weather by luck or thanks to the great efforts of all involved I remain a loyal and grateful customer of this hotel. Thank you JW Marriott!

If you know Marriotts, there's no surprises with this one. A bit dated looking but decently run, with an above average gym.

Pros:
- Near airpot (given Dubai traffic, a big plus)
- Great gym
- Big, spacious building
- Great conference facilities
- Professional service
- Great Italian restaurant

Cons:
- Uninspiring decor
- Wireless didn't work in the exec lounge
- $36 a day for room internet - give me a break
- Crappy neighbourhood

A good luxury hotel in a good location in Dubai. Walking distance to 24hr shopping. Opposite a small shopping mall.
Spacious rooms. Very good restaurants especially the Lebanese one. Would recommend it.
