5-star Dubai hotel with obelisk-shaped architecture and direct mall access

Architecture & Location

Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk stands as a 5-star property shaped like an ancient obelisk, directly referencing Luxor Temple. The hotel is linked to WAFI Mall, giving guests direct access to shops, a Carrefour supermarket, and a VOX cinema. Its location between old Dubai and new Dubai puts the Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Creek all within a short taxi ride.

Dining Experiences

The Obelisk offers 5 restaurants covering French, Asian-Japanese, and British cuisines, including the celebrity chef-run Taiko and Brasserie Boulud. Guests with Club Millésime access receive exclusive benefits such as a dedicated check-in on the 51st floor, afternoon tea, and evening canapés with premium drinks. The Soleil Pool & Lounge serves snacks and drinks by the rooftop pool, while The Nine provides a British dining option with hearty meals.

Wellness & Relaxation

This is the first Sofitel property in the region to feature a full spa with L'Occitane products, offering massages, facials, body scrubs, and a couples treatment room. The outdoor Soleil Pool & Lounge includes a heated saltwater pool, a swim-up bar, and sun loungers with views of the Dubai skyline. Fitness facilities include a 24-hour gym with personal training sessions and a spa lounge with relaxation areas.

Rooms & Suites

The hotel contains 498 luxury rooms and 96 serviced apartments, all with floor-to-ceiling windows offering skyline or creek views. Each room includes L'Occitane toiletries, a walk-in shower, and a separate bathtub, with Club Millésime suites providing access to the 51st-floor lounge. Room sizes start at 40 m² for a Luxury King Room and go up to one-bedroom suites with separate living areas.

Family & Children

The Astro Kids Club is themed around The Little Prince and offers supervised activities for children, including arts, games, and a dedicated play area. A shallow-end kids' pool sits alongside the main outdoor pool, with sun umbrellas and loungers for families. Babysitting services can be arranged through the front desk, and the hotel provides special bath products for toddlers upon request.
