Property details

Stay in the Middle East’s flagship Sofitel hotel, blending French Art Deco and ancient Egyptian influences, with a L’Occitane spa - includes breakfast, optional dinner, spa discount and more
  • Sky-high luxe: Soaring high above the shimmering mirage of Dubai’s skyline, Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk blends ancient Egyptian inspiration with five-star modern luxury. Float through beautifully Art Deco spaces where the best of French hospitality reigns supreme. Plunge into the Egyptian ‘key of life’-shaped pool, and retire to lavish guestrooms in soothing cream shades and sleek wooden accents.

  • Gastronomic flair: As the sun sets over the desert metropolis, freshen up and swan down for some culinary magic. Kick things off with a signature cocktail at the sultry feline bar, and tuck into some iconic gastropub cuisine, or indulge in French Riviera flavours from the poolside menu. Other dining spots include a Michelin-rated brasserie and a Japanese restaurant, and a breakfast of sweet and savoury classics await on the serene veranda come morning.

  • Inner-city wellness: Entering the spa is like stepping into a little pocket of Provence: in partnership with L'Occitane, the treatment rooms, relaxation rooms and hammam facilities are the place to restore your inner and outer glow. Hammam treatments combine ancient rituals, essential oils and modern expertise, or you could opt for a blissful massage designed to reduce stress and improve sleep (fees apply).

Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk, Wafi - Sheikh Rashid Rd - Umm Hurair 2 - Dubai - United Arab Emirates

Your hotel is located in the distinctive Wafi City, known for its impressive architecture combining sheer modernity with ancient Egyptian influence. You’ll be just steps away from Wafi Mall, a sleek glass atrium housing 300 stores and guarded by impressive Egyptian god statues. The Dubai Frame is an iconic, must-see. The magnificent gold edifice frames views of the futuristic city, and features a sky deck, a ground floor museum showcasing Dubai’s heritage as well as a future ‘tunnel’ sneaking a glance at Dubai 50 years from now. If you fancy a day at the beach, it’s worth taking a trip to Jumeirah Beach Residence, a bustling boulevard with boutiques, beauty services and eateries, and gorgeous turquoise waters lapping white sandy stretches.
