I visited Dubai for a belated birthday getaway with one of my best friends – my very first 5-star hotel experience – and Sofitel Dubai Downtown made it truly unforgettable.
The hotel is beautifully designed, ideally located, and the restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes of excellent quality.
Although our arrival was marked by a few challenges (no prior information about the swimming pool being under renovation, a delay with luggage delivery, and slow service at breakfast the next morning), the professionalism and kindness of the staff completely transformed our stay.
Special thanks to Mrs. Lae for her attentiveness, empathy, and reactivity. She sincerely apologized for the issues at our arrival and graciously upgraded us to a beautiful suite with an incredible Burj Khalifa view. She is amazing – and speaks excellent French!
Thanks as well to Speciose for her kindness during our late-night check-in. She ensured we had all the key information for our stay, apologized for the luggage delay, and informed us that we could access a private beach as compensation for the pool renovation.
At the Lutetia Brasserie, Shyam, Luckie, and Lukea (spelling may vary) ensured flawless service with constant smiles and attentiveness.
At L’Apéro, Cynthia impressed us with her smile, proactivity, and positive approach.
At the lobby stand La Pat, May impressed us with her kindness, attentiveness, and delicious pastries.
My deepest gratitude also goes to the concierge/valet team – Eric, Benjamin, Allan, and Mustafa – always available, smiling, and detail-oriented. From checking our bags at check-out to arranging a taxi instantly when the wait was long, their reactivity and professionalism embodied true hospitality.
Thanks to all these outstanding individuals, our stay turned into a unique and unforgettable experience.
We will gladly recommend Sofitel Dubai Downtown and look forward to returning.
With sincere thanks and appreciation,
Reine and Marie-Paulette
