Raffles is one of the most luxurious hotel brands and its hotels are usually extremely expensive. Currently, however, you can book the Raffles Dubai through LuxuryEscapes at a highly discounted price if you stay for at least 3 nights. For only €227 per night, not only do you get to stay at the hotel, but you even get to stay in a 70 m² large room with lounge access, i.e. with breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails included. That represents savings of roughly 40%, and if this is your first time booking through LuxuryEscapes, you can even get an additional 10% discount on top. There’s availability between March and September, except in May.
You don’t necessarily need to decide on specific dates right away. LuxuryEscapes also allows you to lock in the price and then flexibly redeem the voucher you get until September. To do that, click on Buy now, check availability later under the big Check Availability button.
You also get a 20% discount on a la carte dining at the onsite restaurants, and either early (from 10:00) or late (until 16:00) check-in/out. There’s also an AED 100 (~€23) spa credit, but it comes with a minimum spend of AED 400 (~€94).
Breakfast is served at the Azur Restaurant on the third floor. Between 14:00 and 16:00, you’ll be served a selection of pastries, scones and sandwiches in the Raffles Club Lounge. Between 18:00 and 20:00, the lounge will offer evening canapes, a light buffet dinner, cocktails and mocktails.
Between March and September, during the hot summer, you’ll also get a small lunch or dinner for free. It consists of either a Bento Box or a Poke Bowl by the pool.
The room is a whopping 70 m² large, featuring e.g. a balcony, a bathtub, a desk, a TV, and WiFi, among other things. You can choose if you prefer a king bed or twin single beds. The room additionally also has a sofa bed.
The Hotel
The Raffles Dubai is an Egyptian-inspired posh 5-star hotel, located a short drive away from the Dolphinarium. As usual for Raffles Hotels, it offers a butler service. The property also boasts a swimming pool.
Previous guests left very good reviews of the hotel (e.g. 4.7/5 on Google or 5/5 on Tripadvisor), many praising the respectful staff, the historical interior, the extensive breakfast buffet, the luxurious spaces, the evident security, the impeccable cleanliness, the comfortable pool, the superb spa area, and the amazing views of the Khalifa. The hotel also seems to be very popular among honeymooners. There doesn’t seem to be a single aspect that has received any major criticism.
Located in Bur Dubai, you’re close to the famous Dubai Frame. You can find both elegant boutiques and discount stores in the hotel’s vicinity and the Zabeel soccer stadium is also nearby.
Price Check
Unlike many other hotels in Dubai, the Raffles does not significantly lower its prices in the summer. This price is available from March through September. The first months of that travel period should be the most attractive (due to the somewhat lower temperatures). In early April, the Raffles charges roughly €395 per night for its cheapest Club Room rate. That’s over 75% more than what Luxury Escapes is charging. Actually, one should compare LuxuryEscapes’ price with the Bed And Breakfast rate, which is even more expensive, as LuxuryEscapes’ rate includes the full breakfast in the restaurant and not only the smaller Lounge breakfast. Long story short: the savings are big!
If you use our 10% LuxuryEscapes coupon, you’d even only be paying ~ €204 per night. A fantastic price for this hotel.
