We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Combine sophisticated luxury, classic European charm, wonderful service, an acclaimed spa and a gorgeous private beach and you’ve got Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah — a sensational stay on the city’s most famous archipelago.

Situated far from the bustle of city, yet within easy reach of Dubai’s main attractions, this elegant hotel provides a respite from the UAE’s buzzing modern metropolis.

Though, a top-notch collection of trendy dining and entertainment venues means that you can have access to a taste of Dubai’s legendary haute cuisine and nightlife, without ever setting foot off of the luxe property.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The spa is a tranquil, all-white sanctuary offering hydrotherapy facilities and more than 50 treatments for the face and body, some of which incorporate meditation and well-being techniques for a well-rounded experience.
Every guest at the Dubai hotel receives a personal concierge, who will do everything from escort you to your room upon arrival to score you a table at the city’s hottest restaurants.
Work on your tan on the property’s private beach or get busy with water sports such as snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing and waterskiing.
Besides the Waldorf Astoria’s main temperature-controlled lagoon pool, there’s also an adults-only spot if you prefer quiet poolside relaxation.
Dine on modern Italian cuisine at Social by Heinz Beck, a celebrated chef known for his La Pergola in Rome. The elegant restaurant offers a creative take on classic flavors. Try the cheesy fagottelli carbonara or beef tenderloin with white Alba truffle.

Things to Know

The onsite Coco's Kids Club is open daily. It provides three complimentary hours of babysitting services per day, per child for hotel guests.
Arrive by yacht and dock your vessel at the luxury hotel’s jetty.
Even if you aren't a hotel guest, you can still lounge by the pool or beach by purchasing a day pass, which includes a food and beverage credit redeemable at Palm Avenue.

The Rooms

The rooms are bright, spacious and airy with décor that borrows from the Dubai property’s seaside location. Soft beiges, creams and ivory with accents of turquoise keep things both beachy and elegant.
Each accommodation features a terrace with a view of either the Arabian Gulf and the city’s skyline or Palm Jumeirah, the hotel’s pools and manicured lawns.
For the best night’s sleep, choose from a pillow menu featuring options like goose-down, cherry stone with optional heating and anti-aging vitamin E treated selections.
Luxurious marble bathrooms include dual vanities, large bathtubs (with a TV built into the wall so that you can watch as you soak) and a separate shower. Be sure to take advantage of the Salvatore Ferragamo toiletries.

The Restaurants

Tuck into Southeast Asian cuisine at LAO, which creatively combines traditional methods and contemporary sensibilities for a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Indulge in an international buffet for breakfast, lunch or dinner at family-friendly Mezzerie. The dining venue spotlights a different culinary theme each night, including Mediterranean, French, Indian and Tex-Mex.
Drawing from the heritage of The Waldorf and The Astoria hotels in New York, the Palm Jumeirah property’s Peacock Alley is a sophisticated lounge serving teas, coffees, shisha and light meals over views of the well-manicured gardens.
Step into the glory days of the Italian Renaissance at the plush Serafina Bar, where luxurious velvets and eclectic glass-blown chandeliers lend an air of intrigue. Nibble on Venetian-inspired small plates and sip on oak barrel-aged cocktails or choose from premium cigars while enjoying live entertainment.
