As a result of such an influx of tourists, the government and private sector are coordinating to have 116 new hotels built by 2016, ensuring that Dubai will have around 550 major hotels.

Of these new hotels being built, 51 hotels will be built at Bawadi in Dubailand. Bawadi hotels will include boutique, themed and resort hotels including Asia-Asia Hotel, aimed at being the largest in the world with over 6,500 rooms. 

Most of the reputed global hotel chains and operators are present in Dubai making it very easy for the business traveller to get the same service levels he/she is used to elsewhere in the world. For tourists travelling alone, in a group or with your family and loved ones, there is a hotel in Dubai that will fit your needs.

Hotels in Dubai are typically located either along the beach fronts of Jumeirah, Umm Sequeim or Al Sufouh, the central business district, around the creek or in the various business parks, free zones and the convention centre. In any case, most of the hotels are located within a 30 minute journey from Dubai International Airport. The larger hotels offer airport shuttle services and minibus services to the main tourist and shopping spots around the city.
