Grand Hyatt Dubai

Grand Hyatt Dubai is a city resort set within 37 acres of landscaped gardens, minutes from Dubai Creek and close to the shopping, entertainment and financial districts. Dubai International Airport is just ten minutes away, which keeps arrival days short, and the metro is within walking distance. Described as a blend of city conference hotel and resort, it suits couples wanting a city base, families drawn by the waterpark, and travellers combining business with a few days of relaxation.

The hotel has 710 deluxe guestrooms, ranging from 39 to 264 square metres, so you can choose a footprint to suit your party.

The waterpark spans 20,000 sqm and is home to 16 rides and attractions, including thrilling waterslides, a lazy river and a triple FlowRider. A wave pool with a sand beach and private cabanas offers a quieter, beach-style corner of the city. It is set up for families and adventure seekers of every age and energy level. Baby-sitting and childcare services are available if you want time apart, and in the evening Cooz gives you a jazz bar to unwind in.

Two outdoor pools and a 20-metre temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool give you plenty of room to swim.
