An art deco hotel in Dubai Marina with 369 rooms, family rooms of 110 sq m, a pool and a children's pool, and a rooftop bar with live music.
Stella Di Mare Dubai Marina Hotel is part of the Stella Di Mare chain, on Al Mattla'ee Street in Dubai Marina. It has 369 rooms and 6 restaurants and bars, with an Art Deco design. It's an urban hotel, not a resort, but with facilities that suit families too.
What sets it apart are the family rooms. The Family Room is 110 sqm, with a king bed and 2 beds and two bathrooms, accommodating up to 4 guests. Children up to age 6 sleep in the parents' room at no extra charge, and ages 6–12 pay only for meals.
The basic room, Deluxe, is 33–40 sqm, with a bathtub, accommodating up to 3 guests. You can choose a city view or a marina view. The Stella Room, 40–45 sqm, includes a sofa bed, and the Deluxe Suite, 85 sqm, suits a family of 4. Most rooms have a city view; those who want the marina should choose a Marina View room.
There's a pool and a kids' pool, open from 9:00 AM until sunset. The spa is large, 550 sqm, with a heated outdoor pool, and separate saunas, steam rooms and jacuzzis for men and women. The hotel has no beach, but the public JBR Beach is about a 10-minute walk away. There's no kids' club, but a babysitter can be booked.
The main restaurant is La Fontana, an international buffet with a different theme night each day. HISAYA serves Japanese food until 1:00 AM. In the evening you can head up to the Headlines rooftop bar, speakeasy-style with live bands, or sit with a shisha at La Veranda facing the pool.
The downside: there's no beach, and it's about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to JBR Beach. Downtown is also far: Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are 23 km from the hotel. On the other hand, DMCC metro station is about 5 minutes away, and Dubai Marina Mall is about a 10-minute walk. Pets are not accepted.
