Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk

We arrived at the hotel very early morning expecting to have to wait till afternoon to check in. The welcome we received was excellent and the reception staff had us checked in and in our room by 8am. The experience in the hotel was exceptional throughout as a result of the reception by all members of staff and the way they did everything possible to help make our stay so enjoyable. Breakfast was brilliant with everything you might want to eat or drink being available. The staff were again very helpful in particular our waiter Rashid and waitress Sinita who both went out of their way to ensure all our needs were met. The pool area is fantastic with plenty of loungers and cabanas available and a swim up bar in the pool. All in all we could not fault this hotel and given the opportunity we will definitely return.

After extending my stay at Sofitel Dubai Obelisk, I can confidently say this hotel continues to exceed my expectations. The cleanliness is impeccable, and the rooms are as spacious and well-designed as ever. The thoughtful layout makes every moment comfortable, and having direct access to the mall remains a huge convenience that I truly appreciate. The in-room dining has been consistently impressive. The pricing strikes a perfect balance between value and quality, making every meal feel indulgent without being overpriced. What stands out the most is the incredible service. The staff is attentive, professional, and always ready to help. Haania at the front desk deserves another mention—her warm and friendly demeanor really made me feel welcome throughout my stay. Breakfast continues to be a highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. I still wish dragon fruit was on the menu, but everything else has been exceptional, so it’s a small trade-off. The gym, though medium-sized, is perfectly equipped for a solid workout, and it’s been a great way to start my days. Extending my stay here has only reinforced how much I love this hotel. Sofitel Dubai Obelisk is truly a gem in Dubai, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious, convenient, and memorable stay.

All of the above. Spacious room and great view (got a room on the 41st floor just by asking for a high floor room in my booking), fabulous breakfast with incredible choices. Very well trained, curtious and helpful staff.

The Obelisk was a happy revelation. We needed a short break with sun but had not expected this high quality experience. Food was great - breakfast selection top-notch with proper French baking, croissants and baguettes, plus excellent fruit and local delicacies. We had not come across the intelligent lift system before; this was clever, efficient and and secure. An evening beer by the pool, served by smiling Srikanth, was made all the more special by the unusually (for the middle of a city) wide selection of birds, helped by the sixth floor elevation. I counted 14 different species including a hoopoe, finches, mynah, bulbuls, and the ubiquitous collared dove. Staff in the Club Room were friendly and efficient - Charm and Khin at reception in particular. It was good enough for us to be coming back with son and his wife within the month. Dr B

I booked a few rooms over the weekend of the 21st to 25th for my birthday celebrations with friends and family. I loved the breakfast at the hotel and the staff went above and beyond in providing excellent service, special mention to Zaheer who waited on us at breakfast during our stay and provided such excellent and attentive service always with a smile on his face. The hotel room was gorgeous, the bathroom had a generous sized and very stylish bath tub, a walk in shower with a powerful rainfall shower head, fantastic bidet and a toilet seat with a spray washer attached which made using all of these facilities a dream. I kept oversleeping on my alarm because of how soft the mattress and pillows were, the sheets were clean and cool to the skin, the room temperature was always a calming 18.5 deg celsius which made sleeping so comfortable. Everything was top notch luxury, location was next to Wafi Mall and centrally located for moving out and about in Dubai. I will definitely book this hotel again next time I am in Dubai.
