First of all, there is the initial one, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneandonlyresorts.com\/one-and-only-royal-mirage-dubai\/accommodation\">The Palace<\/a>. We stayed there when first visiting Dubai in 2001. This was shortly after 911. The hotel was half empty due to the tourism decline after this terrorist attack. At the time, the desert almost began behind the hotel. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Later on, 2 other hotel parts were built: the adjoining <\/span><a style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oneandonlyresorts.com\/one-and-only-royal-mirage-dubai\/accommodation\">Residence &amp; SPA<\/a><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> and \u2013 even further away &#8211; the Arabian Court. On the occasion of our revisit in 2004, we opted for a stay at Residence &amp; SPA. At that time, the construction of the Palm Jumeirah was in full process. Behind the hotel, the Dubai Marina, intended to accommodate more than 120,000 people, was under construction, too.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--ulmwlw1PDA\/WLwk4CDB4-I\/AAAAAAAACXo\/iknYjo4I7BUi36em4x7GEGMQC8E5MrMMACLcB\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_106e.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--ulmwlw1PDA\/WLwk4CDB4-I\/AAAAAAAACXo\/iknYjo4I7BUi36em4x7GEGMQC8E5MrMMACLcB\/s400\/fullsizeoutput_106e.jpeg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Residence &amp; SPA<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"> <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>When we returned again in 2015, again staying at the Residence &amp; SPA, both the Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Marina had been completed. It is hard to believe how the area around the initial One&amp;Only Royal Mirage The Palace changed in merely 14 years! When first being there, the view of the Arabian Gulf was unobstructed. Now, there is no more open sea, but you overlook The Palm Island Bay. Of course, this is different, but not a reason not to return to the Royal Mirage. This One&amp;Only resort is simply too good not to consider it again for another stay.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-u_A2zXGjEOY\/WLwlj1D5UhI\/AAAAAAAACXs\/sT8pa4qI-a8s7xi5k3A2SSywrdbmCjIcQCLcB\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_106f.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-u_A2zXGjEOY\/WLwlj1D5UhI\/AAAAAAAACXs\/sT8pa4qI-a8s7xi5k3A2SSywrdbmCjIcQCLcB\/s400\/fullsizeoutput_106f.jpeg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Beach of The Palace &amp; Dubai Marina in the background<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600;\"> <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><strong>Location<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">In my view, Royal Mirage is ideally located, when being in Dubai for the beach and the sights. The setting, now \u201conly\u201d at a bay (not on the open sea any more) on Jumeirah Beach, is perfect for beach vacations and for sightseeing. The city center and also other points of interest can be reached in reasonable time. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A negative point when it comes to location of Royal Mirage is certainly \u2013 as already mentioned \u2013 the nearby Palm Jumeirah. On the mainland, it is definitely one of the hotels most affected by this artificial island. One part of the Royal Mirage, the Arabian Court, is actually right next to the road going to the Palm. When staying at the Residence, you are not that close, especially when being at the pool instead of being on the beach.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-C1qlvcUv6IM\/WLwmoF4kPUI\/AAAAAAAACX0\/_IbDT57DGs0_ZKHiksr0GsExw8uvlr41gCLcB\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_1070.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-C1qlvcUv6IM\/WLwmoF4kPUI\/AAAAAAAACX0\/_IbDT57DGs0_ZKHiksr0GsExw8uvlr41gCLcB\/s400\/fullsizeoutput_1070.jpeg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Beach of Residence &amp; SPA &amp; The Palm in the background<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"> <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>Facilities<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">The facilities are first-rate, I do not go much into detail, but I want to point out two features.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">As guests of the Residence you are treated to afternoon tea, which is not only a culinary delight \u2013 the pastries are simply fantastic \u2013, but can pass easily as full lunch!

It is an oasis of quietude, the best place for rest and recreation. In case you feel like having more bustle, you can also use the pools of the other hotel parts.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-dnqn8JkKTI0\/WLwnM48CbTI\/AAAAAAAACX4\/6uAsxo99JmMdDFVNmqcfLLe9FQUYGoW7ACLcB\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_1071.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-dnqn8JkKTI0\/WLwnM48CbTI\/AAAAAAAACX4\/6uAsxo99JmMdDFVNmqcfLLe9FQUYGoW7ACLcB\/s400\/fullsizeoutput_1071.jpeg\" width=\"400\" height=\"263\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Beach area of Residence &amp; SPA (only for guests of this hotel part)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"> <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>Rooms<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">We had a Prestige Room, the standard accommodation at the Residence.

When we stayed there the last time at the beginning of October, we had a reasonable rate. But this has to be seen in relation to the season at the time. I would not go again at this time of the year because it was very hot (37 degrees Celsius) and also extremely humid.

On the occasion of our 3 stays, we probably tried out all the places <i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">not<\/i> offering buffet-style dinners \u2013 we are not in favor of that. My favorite one onsite is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneandonlyresorts.com\/one-and-only-royal-mirage-dubai\/cuisine\">Celebrities<\/a> at The Palace, the signature restaurant with chic interior and classic fine dining cuisine. We also ventured to the sister hotel One&amp;Only The Palm in order to have dinner with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneandonlyresorts.com\/one-and-only-the-palm-dubai\/cuisine\/stay-by-yannick-alleno\">Stay<\/a> by 3-star Michelin chef Yannick Alleno.

While it is beautifully laid out, it is a bit far away from the action and rates are elevated. A bit closer to the city center and right across the famous Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel there is another Jumeirah Hotel, the <\/span><a style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jumeirah.com\/en\/hotels-resorts\/dubai\/madinat-jumeirah\/\">Madinat Jumeirah<\/a><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">.
