Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk
A landmark destination in the heart of Dubai, attached to WAFI Mall, hotel Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk provides guests with timeless elegance. This is where modern French art de vivre and ancient Egyptian heritage elegantly merges with the essence and culture of the UAE. The iconic building is adorned with a gold pyramidion and in the shape of an obelisk, representative of the Luxor Obelisk currently in Paris.

Attention to detail, Art Deco flair and a marriage of cultures and heritage are hallmarks of not just Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk's overall architecture and design, but of the 498 luxury guestrooms and suites, as well as 97 furnished and serviced apartments.

The hotel rooms and suites are located as of the 19th floor, offering floor-to-ceiling windows with an abundance of natural light and unparalleled views, including old Dubai, creek, harbor and the iconic city skyline.

“Excellent Spa Experience – 90-Minute Massage & Facial Promotion”

I was impressed with the promotion! The 90-minute combination of massage and facial was a perfect deal and truly worth it. Tati and Ravi were excellent therapists, very professional and attentive throughout the treatments. Special thanks to Ricky at Reception for the warm welcome and excellent service. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

“Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk – Hospitality at Its Best!”

As always, staying at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk is a pleasure. What makes this hotel truly special is not only its beautiful facilities and high standards, but above all, its people. A special thank you to Charm from the Front Desk, who is always keen to ensure that my stay is as comfortable as possible. Her genuine care and attention never go unnoticed. Mohamed, also from the Front Desk, deserves recognition for his constant smile and willingness to help with anything he can. And Ziad, who made my check-in a breeze, welcoming me with a smile and completing everything in no time. A special mention goes to Mariziel at Club Millésime, whose genuinely welcoming personality makes every visit a pleasure. And of course, Vino, my fellow football fan, with whom I always enjoy discussing the latest matches and sharing our passion for the game. These personal touches are what make the difference. The people at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk are truly setting an example of what genuine hospitality should look like. It’s not simply about providing excellent service; it’s about making guests feel welcomed, valued, and at home. Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk remains one of my favourite hotels in Dubai. My sincere thanks to the entire team, especially those mentioned above, for making every stay memorable. I look forward to coming back!

“Amazing staff in a lovely hotel”

As many people have noted, our recent stay at Sofitel The Obelisk was made extra special by the amazing staff! From the staff at the door and checkin, through to the staff at the pool and notably the staff on the 51st floor, you made our few days at the hotel extra special. Although the hotel is starting to look a little dated in parts (me being extra picky!) we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Management, please commend your staff…..they deserve all the kudos!
