Hotels in Business Bay

Business Bay is the tower district immediately south of Downtown, built along the extension of Dubai Creek that runs from Ras Al Khor to Sheikh Zayed Road and on to the sea through Safa Park and Jumeirah. I would stay here for Downtown's sights from a quieter base, not for a beach. The data backs that: the 25 stays gathered here average 9.1 out of 10 across almost 137,000 guest reviews, against 8.7 in Downtown. The most reviewed is the JW Marriott Marquis, whose twin towers rise 355 metres over 77 floors. The Red Line stops at Business Bay station, on Sheikh Zayed Road, so pick a hotel on that side if the metro matters to you; deeper in the district, along the canal, a taxi becomes the usual way out. The insider reason to choose Business Bay is New Year's Eve: on the last one, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station could close from 5 pm once full, and Business Bay was one of the two stations commuters were sent to instead. The trap is that the district is still being built, so ask whether your room overlooks a construction site. November to March is the season for walking along the canal.
