This Dubai hotel literally towers over the competition

Location

Location is key in this city – Dubai traffic is notorious and public transport limited. There are two Rixos hotels in the city, both well located for holidaymakers keen to be near the centre of the action. Rixos Premium JBR is in the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), a beachside location featuring a promenade named The Walk, which feels distinctly high end, lined with big name hotels, shops and restaurants. The two crystal towers of Rixos Premium JBR sit between The Walk and the hotel’s own section of Azure Beach (although you’re free to roam down the entire stretch of sand). It’s within walking distance of Dubai Marina (about 10 minutes) and roughly a 15-minute Uber – traffic dependent – from the Palm Jumeirah.
