Five Spectacular Lobbies You'll Want to Stay at These MENA Hotels for

When looking to book a hotel, one usually double and triple checks the location on the map, feverishly searches for online reviews, and mind-numbingly browses through hundreds of pictures of rooms, suites, villas, and even (or especially, depending on your personality type) bathrooms. Rarely does one think to check out the lobby. 

At these five hotels across the MENA region, there’s no need to do the legwork one normally does when choosing a stay because the lobbies alone are worth booking a room for. 


Burj Al Arab

📍 Dubai, UAE

Renowned for its luxurious, sail-inspired design, the lobby features gold accents, soaring columns, and breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf.


Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay

📍Manama, Bahrain

Resembling an indoor botanical garden with ancient olive trees all around, the lobby features windows stretching from the marble floor to the ceiling, offering breathtaking skyline views. 

W Dubai – Mina Seyahi

📍Dubai, UAE
Designed by Stickman Tribe, the lobby and adjacent bar incorporate motifs inspired by local folklore, such as a chandelier resembling a flying carpet and a snakeskin mosaic pathway.

Royal Mansour Marrakech

📍Marrakech, Morocco
Mosaic tiles framing a central fountain, curtain-draped entryways and traditional lanterns all around—the lobby embodies Moroccan culture through and through. 

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental

📍Abu Dhabi, UAE
Featuring marble-covered floors, towering columns, and fairy-lit trees, the lobby’s main attraction is the central dome ceiling that pays homage to the hotel’s Islamic architecture.
