Read on to find out more about our selection of the cheapest Marriott hotels in Dubai.
While St Regis, Ritz-Carlton & W Bonvoy brands are the most expensive Marriott hotels, pick a Westin, Delta, Sheraton, or Marriott, and your stay will be cheaper. Even cheaper are brands like Courtyard, Four Points, and SpringHill Suites, which are also part of the Marriott Bonvoy brand, but these are not luxury and are not brilliant resort hotels.
For something completely different, we have reviewed the cheapest Marriott Bonvoy ski hotels along with the cheapest Four Seasons hotels in the world for those who want to splurge.
Whether you need to do a mattress run to achieve Platinum Bonvoy status, are stacking Marriott promos, or just like to collect Marriott Bonvoy points, we have selected the cheapest best Marriotts in Dubai.
The prices in this article are based on a stay of 20-25 January 2024. Rates were correct at the time of writing.
Book any Marriott or other luxury hotel via our luxury travel concierge to get free breakfast, hotel credit, room upgrade (subject to availability), as well as all your usual Marriott Bonvoy points, making these rates an even better deal.
1. Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre
Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre is the cheapest Marriott in Dubai in this listing. The price comes in at د.إ;600 AED per night. We particularly like this hotel as it has one of the best club lounges in Dubai.
The club lounge at Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre is called the Royal Club. This club lounge sits within its own club building, with rooms, an executive lounge, and even a private, exclusive rooftop pool just for club lounge guests.
This hotel and club lounge is ideal for a layover as it’s right by the airport. This hotel is a cheap deal on both Bonvoy loyalty points and cash.
Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre is a destination in itself. The hotel has at least five pools, several gyms, and restaurants. The hotel “Le Meriden Village” also has 18 restaurants, bars, a pub, pools, and so forth.
In the evenings, the village is vibrant, and the Indian restaurant, in particular, is genuinely very good. The clubrooms are large and relatively luxurious, and the service is personalized and attentive.
The lounge’s food is also excellent, and the managers and chefs are always super helpful and even offer vegan food. The club serves food and drinks three times daily: breakfast, tea, and happy hour. Each sitting is a full meal, and the evening offering includes alcoholic drinks.
If you are a premium Platinum Marriott Bonvoy member, you get a club lounge and a high-end hard and soft product at a great price.
2. W Dubai – Mina Seyahi
W Dubai – Mina Seyahi is a bargain at 767د.إ; AED per night, but bear in mind that this is a luxury adults-only hotel, so it is not somewhere to look at if you’re traveling with your family.
This 5-star hotel is situated in the heart of Dubai and is just 30 minutes away from Dubai International Airport (DXB).
The hotel’s iconic glass architecture towers over the city below, offering unobstructed views from each of the 318 elegantly designed guest rooms and suites over the Arabian Gulf, out towards the world’s highest observation wheel, Ain Dubai and beyond.
Dining experiences become amplified, from the dialed-up DJ sets at Ginger Moon’s infinity pool to the Japanese rooftop lounge, attiko. The indoor and outdoor Farrago Bar and Lounge is a noisy nightclub-type venue with nightly DJ beats.
3. Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah Dubai
Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, is located on the beachfront of the iconic Palm Jumeirah and was the first Marriott Resort in Dubai. It is also one of the cheapest Marriott beach resorts in Dubai at 867د.إ; AED per night.
Located on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road, connecting the downtown area and the Burj Khalifa with the main shopping malls and business districts, this 5-star resort has rooms with private balconies, a beachfront pool, a fitness center, and a Spa. Young travelers can enjoy their own space at the Kids Club.
The resort has ten restaurants, including Korean, Italian, Japanese and Mexican cuisines. In front of the resort is the Palm West Beach promenade, where guests can relax on the private beach, swim, or enjoy water sports in the waters of the Arabian Gulf, and explore the restaurants along the promenade.
4. JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai
JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai is located in downtown, soaring above Sheikh Zayed Road. This bustling and dynamic 5-star hotel is one of the tallest in the world, consisting of two towers with 1608 rooms, and boasts awe-inspiring views of the water and Dubai cityscape.
The price of this hotel is usually around 918د.إ; AED per night in January 2024. Rooms are luxurious here, and there’s an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a Spa, but there’s no beach.
Sample the flavors of the world at any of the ten restaurants and lounges, which offer Japanese, Italian, Indian, and Thai cuisine. For those planning an event in downtown Dubai, UAE our hotel offers 80,000 ft² of adaptable space, including a striking ballroom and outdoor venues.
5. Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa
If you are a family and want a beach, Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa is our first choice regardless of the price, as the beach and grounds have a proper resort feel. At 1,149د.إ; AED per night, this one is pretty cheap too when compared to other luxury hotels in Dubai.
You may prefer to stay at Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa over its sister hotel, the Grosvenor House Dubai, because of its proximity to the beach and the better pools.
The hotel is ideal for families and has large free-form pools with bridges and gorgeous grassy lawns with tropical palm trees. The decor in the rooms is fresh and modern, and the balconies are large with lovely views, the best of which look over the gardens and beach.
The club lounge here is large and serves a great breakfast, but do bear in mind that it gets very busy at the buffet. The breakfast in the lounge is delicious, much like you would expect in a normal restaurant, with a vast buffet and a huge array of hot and cold breakfast choices.
6. W Dubai – The Palm
W Dubai – The Palm is located on the Palm Jumeirah, the largest artificial island in the world and one of Dubai’s most iconic attractions. This Marriott hotel is more expensive as it is right on the beach. The price for a night here is 1,152د.إ; AED per night.
While you may be worried that the location of this hotel on The Palm might be a bit far-flung and away from the action, this is one of the places to be seen in Dubai, and the designers have maximized this position with its spectacular 360-degree views of the Dubai skyline, the Palm and the open water beyond.
The hotel’s iconic “W” sign is patterned to resemble an evaporated desert river bed, and the WHEELS (valet) area is reminiscent of a cavernous riverbed covered by palm fronds. Leading guests into the hotel is a stunning display of Orsoni glass tiles in colors inspired by overgrown foliage, which reflects the golden sun on the horizon.
The jaw-dropping five-story atrium lobby contains golden trusses comprised of framed boxes sparkling throughout the space. The carpets depict the island’s surrounding waters, reflecting both the construction and the clouds of Dubai.
The W Lounge lobby is the place to see and be seen celebrating the city’s well-known love of opulence. An artistic interpretation of a traditional fire pit sits in the center of the W Lounge, signifying the bonfires that Bedouin tribes would gather around during their desert travels years ago.
All 350 guest rooms and suites offer uninterrupted views and dreamy amenities. Curved walls are intricately tiled to glisten like the lights and colors of the sea at various times of the day, bringing the shoreline into each room. Modern graffiti adorns the walls of every room, featuring lyrics in Arabic from an iconic song by Lebanese singer Fairouz.
The hotel has multiple pools that sit in a wave-like pattern in the center of the Escape to form the W brand’s iconic WET® Deck experience directly facing a fabulous beach with views of the Dubai skyline. The pools get to 1.1 meters [3.6 feet] deep, so they’re designed for posing and looking fabulous rather than doing a workout. Every spot is perfect for a stunning selfie.
There are plenty of sun loungers dotted throughout, and the best are submerged in the pools themselves, so you can dip your feet in the water while lounging. Beautiful pods built into the pools are available for rent for an extra fee, plus there is a 400-meter private beach additionally available for guests. Guests can swim, soak up the sun, and enjoy signature beverages while listening to live DJ performances.
7. The Dubai EDITION
The Dubai EDITION is stylish but not cheap, costing 1,166د.إ; AED per night. The Dubai EDITION is situated in Downtown Dubai. The hotel is located in one of the city’s most popular locations, opposite the world-famous Dubai Mall.
Designed with LW Design Group, the hotel features 275 guestrooms and suites. The property is home to multiple food and beverage outlets, a pool, a spa, a fitness center, and dynamic event spaces boasting meeting rooms and a flexible ballroom.
8. The St. Regis Downtown Dubai
The St. Regis Downtown Dubai costs 1,264د.إ; AED per night and is at the more expensive end of this listing of the cheapest Marriott hotels. This St. Regis is not on a beach and is instead in Downtown Dubai.
With 298 lavishly appointed rooms and suites overlooking local landmarks such as the Dubai Water Canal and the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, this is a small hotel for Dubai.
There are plenty of good restaurants here, but the spot to be seen is the hotel’s infinity swimming pool, which overlooks the sparkling waters of the Dubai Water Canal.
9. The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai
The Ritz-Carlton Dubai Beach Hotel is one of the best Ritz-Carlton hotels with a good club lounge with indoor and outdoor seating area and this hotel is right by the beach. This lounge features in our best club lounges in Dubai.
The hotel is not cheap at around 1,530د.إ; AED per night, but the hotel and club lounge offer breathtaking sea views. Families are attracted to this hotel for the grounds and beach and the fact they can cash in their Marriott Bonvoy points for a beachfront vacation in the sun, but this really detracts from the hotel experience as the club lounge becomes too full.
Regardless of the time of year you visit the Ritz-Carlton Dubai Beach Hotel, it is worth noting that as a result of the large beachfrontage and gardens at this resort, it is constantly used as a venue for outdoor events. This can be a problem as the PA and sound systems used at these events are very noisy, and lots of loud music is played.
If you visit this Ritz-Carlton in the winter, the pool is very cold, so while this hotel has a beach and seems good on paper, there may be cheaper Marriott options that offer better value in Dubai.
10. Bulgari Resort Dubai
Bulgari hotels are always gorgeous properties. We loved the Bulgri Milan which had an amazing atmosphere and setting. Bulgari hotels are never cheap. This one costs 3,950د.إ; AED per night.
But for that money, you get one of the most stylish hotels in Dubai with its own beach club, yacht club and chic living rooms for you to lounge your gorgeousness in.
Bulgari’s first-ever Yacht Club is worth mentioning as it overlooks a 46-boat harbor and recreates the charm of a Mediterranean atmosphere in Dubai. Featuring amenities include the Yacht Club Italian Restaurant specializing in fish, the members lounge, outdoor pool and bar, and the first branded kids’ club, the Little Gems Club, the Yacht Club.
