chain of upscale hotels, offers easy access to a public beach in the Jumeirah
Beach area as well as to The Walk, a pedestrian strip lined with cafes and
restaurants. The 294 large, modern rooms have minibars, small balconies, and sleek bathrooms with separate tubs and showers. Also on hand are a spacious fitness center, a spa with sauna, and meeting spaces. The major complaint is about ongoing construction in the area, which guests claim can cause considerable noise early in the
morning.

Scene
Casual but elegant style with design-oriented touches throughout
This hotel is very similar to other
properties in Jumeirah Beach Residence, all aimed at beachgoers who
wish to stay in this tourist-oriented area of Dubai. The Moevenpick’s lobby
underscores its northern European roots with light wood paneling, graphic
patterned rugs, low-lying curved couches, and snappy design chandeliers hung
from the high ceilings for an overall effect of elegant leisure. The exterior
of the building itself is a fairly standard stucco mid-rise affair, and the
on-site restaurants are really formalized buffet dining halls.
Location
Directly on The Walk in the Jumeirah Beach section of Dubai
The hotel is separated from the waterfront
by The Walk, a pedestrian area lined with cafes and restaurants, on the other
side of which sits a clean public beach. Guests have noted that this area may
be particularly loud in the daytime due to ongoing seaside construction, though
generally speaking the location is perfect for beach-going tourists wishing to
sample a few different restaurants and cafes without the need for a taxi.
Downtown attractions like The Dubai Mall are about a 20-minute cab ride north.
There’s also a nearby trolley linked to the city’s public transportation
system, which will get visitors to the downtown area in more than an hour. The airport is also more than an hour north via public transport with
a transfer, or less than half an hour by car.
Rooms
Simple but comfortable and modern, with armchairs, ceramic sinks, and balconies
Leather and chrome mid-century modern
chairs, wall-to-wall discreet graphic carpeting, chenille throws, heavy doors
in light wood, and wood-paneled headboards mounted with LED reading lights all
continue the Nordic combination of taste and functionality present in the rest
of the hotel. Bathrooms have separate walk-in showers surrounded by frosted
glass walls and ceramic tubs, some situated next to picture windows with
plantation shades that open out onto the sleeping area. All rooms have small balconies with seating, coffee and tea facilities, stocked minibars, flat-screen TVs, work areas,
armchairs, plenty of outlets, safes, and hairdryers, among other amenities.
Larger rooms include full separate living areas with wood floors, TVs in individual
rooms, double-sink vanities, free breakfasts, and free airport transfers.
Features
Fitness center, pool, and spa, along with dining and bar options
The wood-floored fitness center includes a
handful of treadmills, ellipticals, and weight machines as well as free
weights. An adjacent locker room features plenty of places to sit as well as a dry sauna. The Body Talk Wellnes Centre has a sizable roster of therapeutic treatments with practitioners. A spacious pool has plenty of sun loungers and shaded areas flanked by an outdoor patio. For corporate travelers, there are meeting rooms with audiovisual capabilities
and executive tables and a small business center with printing capabilities. Dining options include Chinwaggery
