FAQ

Can't find the answer you'r looking for? We've shared some of our most frequently asked question to help you out!

Yes, if you stay in Downtown Dubai, these landmarks are highly walkable. Many hotels, such as the Address Dubai Mall and Kempinski Central Avenue, are physically connected to the mall, while others are just a 5 to 15-minute walk along pedestrian-friendly, palm-lined boulevards.

Yes. When you book your flights and Downtown Dubai hotel together through Stunning Holiday, your entire package is financially protected. You can travel with complete peace of mind knowing your holiday investment is secure.

Absolutely. Because Downtown is a city-center location rather than a beach resort, almost all hotels feature spectacular elevated pools—often infinity pools—offering incredible views of the skyline and the Burj Khalifa.

Yes, all hotels in Dubai are required by law to collect a local tax called the Tourism Dirham. You pay this directly to the hotel at check-in or check-out. The fee is charged per room, per night, and costs AED 20 for 5-star hotels, AED 15 for 4-star hotels, and AED 10 for 3-star hotels.

Downtown Dubai is incredibly close to the airport. A taxi ride typically takes just 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. You can also take the Dubai Metro Red Line directly from the airport terminals to the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station.

Yes, it is standard practice for almost all hotels in Dubai to block a security deposit on your credit card upon check-in to cover potential incidentals. The unused amount is released back to your card at check-out.

Yes, many 4-star and 5-star hotels in the district offer "Fountain View" rooms. These are highly sought after and usually cost a premium over standard city-view rooms, but they offer the incredible experience of watching the water shows right from your balcony.

Yes, many hotels offer interconnecting rooms and family suites. Additionally, staying in Downtown puts you steps away from kid-friendly attractions like the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, KidZania, and the Dubai Ice Rink.

Yes, licensed 4-star and 5-star hotels in Downtown Dubai serve alcohol in their designated restaurants, bars, and lounges.

While Downtown is a city center, getting to the beach is simple. A taxi ride to popular public beaches like Kite Beach or Jumeirah Public Beach takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
