The Meydan Hotel

Rooms were spectacular and clean a stunning view on the horse racecourse. Pool is smaller than expected and is average. Valet where fast and reliable Room service was great Only feedback is mainly on the pool, gym being average and the bukhoor scent in the hotel was not good at all (personal taste)

Nestled adjacent to the prestigious Meydan Racecourse, The Meydan Hotel is a sophisticated 5-star retreat offering sweeping views of the track and Dubai skyline. It’s strategically placed just 12–15 minutes drive from both Dubai International Airport and Downtown Dubai, making it convenient for both leisure and business travelers .

I’ve been a guest at the Meydan Hotel for the past five years, and it truly feels like a second home. One of the standout features for me has always been the incredible pool staff. Their service is consistently excellent, friendly, attentive, and always going above and beyond to make sure every need is met. It’s tough for these guys in the heat here, but they always do their best with a smile and great attitude, they make the experience exceptional every single time. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and top-notch hospitality.

A very good experience, the staff was pleasant, the service excellent, and the room clean. The view of the racetrack was original and nice, and the pool was great. The spa wasn’t available during our stay, but overall it was a really enjoyable visit.

Absolutely loved my stay at The Meydan Hotel in Dubai. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and offered a stunning view of the racecourse. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive from check-in to check-out. I especially enjoyed the infinity pool and the rooftop dining experience both were top-notch. The location is peaceful yet just a short drive from Downtown Dubai. Perfect for a relaxing escape or a luxury weekend. Breakfast was varied and delicious with options for every taste. Overall, it exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Dubai!

The Meydan Hotel impresses at first glance with its scale, polish, and striking architecture. Built into the grandstand of the Meydan Racecourse, it offers sweeping views and monumental proportions. But its core identity is that of a venue more than a hotel—a place designed around events, not individuals. The experience here is defined by vastness. Corridors stretch like airport concourses. Public areas echo with space rather than atmosphere. It’s a property built for grandeur—racing spectacles, conferences, galas—less so for intimacy, relaxation, or distinct character. The architecture dazzles, but the guest experience can feel impersonal. Rooms are uniformly spacious and quiet, with strong views and competent finishes. But furnishings and materials reflect a corporate sensibility. Service is courteous but uneven—more responsive during events, thinner during off-peak periods. Dining options feel designed to meet demand rather than inspire repeat visits. Where the hotel excels is in staging. As a venue for high-profile events, particularly those connected to the racecourse, it delivers scale and logistics few properties can match. It has also hosted cultural festivals, tango gatherings, and concerts—leveraging its size and infrastructure effectively. Yet for the independent traveler or discerning guest accustomed to intuitive service and warm ambience, it may fall short. The Meydan Hotel is not a boutique or a sanctuary. It is a high-capacity destination hotel geared to spectacle and scale. Those seeking quiet luxury, human-scale design, or personalized service should look elsewhere. Those attending major events, or intrigued by the uniqueness of staying in a hotel fused with a racecourse, may find it compelling—if not especially memorable.

Invited for the Binghatti Iftar last week. The dinner was amazing with such high variation. The staff under Mr. Ahmed Farouk, the Operations Manager Meydan were very professional. They were enthusiastic, loyal, caring, good attitude, professional and charming. The crowd management was excellent whereby the RMs would collect their guests from the gate. But what impressed me most is when I went to thank them the following day at 4pmi found them already preparing for that evening (like four hours ahead)|They have thousand covers yet all is managed so smoothly. I have shared with hundreds my positive experience in you facility Meydan.||Kudos Mr Ahmed Farouk and team.
