Dubai hotels
The bottom line, when it comes to Dubai hotels, is the bigger, the brasher, the better. There's a real dearth of individual, boutique hotels in this city, which caters primarily to those looking for a themed resort–style experience or business-focused hot spot. Despite there being close to 30,000 rooms at the moment, with prices averaging around $500, there is still an acute shortage of accommodation, with hotels running at an average occupancy of 80 percent, so make sure you book before you arrive. Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed, is determined that the city will be the biggest tourist destination in the world—to ensure that happens, 20,000 to 25,000 new hotel rooms and suites will be built by 2010.
