Lonely Planet
"Not entirely warranting its top dollar billing, Le Meridien is nonetheless a relaxed and comfortable (if somewhat odd) hotel."

"The rooms here are very plush, with velvet upholstery and dark wood. The interactive TVs and high-speed Internet make this hotel ideal for business travellers."
Rough Guide
"Pleasantly old-fashioned hotel with a vaguely old-world European air and attractive rooms decorated in warm reds and oranges."
Time Out
"This pleasant hotel is next to the beach and centred around the tranquil Meridien Village, a stretch of greenery with a variety of excellent al fresco food and drink outlets."

Full review
Lonely Planet
"Fit for a king (or for that matter an empress, an emir or a sultan), which is just as well because that is principally what this regal, super-luxurious hotel was built for."
Travel + Leisure
"Perhaps the best way to express the grandeur of the newly built, Kempinski-operated Emirates Palace—reportedly the most expensive hotel ever built—is to break it down by numbers."
