Although ideally located opposite the DIFC, I unfortunately cannot agree with many of the comments for one reason and one reason only - the service was below what I expect from a 5 star hotel. Ordering room service was painful as I had to call three times before reaching somebody and then had to wait 45 minutes for a simple order.
The lobby lounge service team fared no better as they were neither efficient or friendly.

Just come back from my fourth stay in this fantastic hotel. I was here 2 times for business and last year for leisure with my 13 year old son. Again this holiday was the best. Although this is a business hotel when you are on holiday its simply the warmest place I've ever experienced. it feels like home when all the staff know your name and treat you in a way that you don't want to leave.
Combined this stay with 3 days in the Meridien Mina Sayahi, but after 3 days (booked for 4) I rushed back to Emirates Towers.
Enjoyed the free entrance to Wild Wadi very much, with the hotel shuttle it was a great break during the day and my son and I had so much fun.
Try to eat in Mosaico and the Rib Room, both restaurants are very good.
I can't wait to go back again!

Stayed at the ET for 4 nights on Honeymoon. Flew with Emirates via Kuoni.

This was the second part of the honeymoon and we flew in from The Maldives, but we flew with Emirates the whole trip and totally recommend them.

Due to the flight timings we arrived at the hotel at 6am, with a usual check in time of 3pm! However, we checked in and were told our room would be ready as soon as possible, and we got it about 1130 so although a long wait it could have been worse.

As it was a honeymoon, we got a free upgrade to a suite(!) so we can't comment on the standards of the standard rooms, but I can't imagine for a minute that they aren't just a superb as the suites just smaller.

Breakfast was in the Moasica Restaurant and was a buffet, but what a buffet!! Everything from traditional fry-up, to smoked trout and salmon, fresh fruit, cold meats, wonderful bread, cereals, basically anything you could want for breakfast and totally fresh.

We didn't eat main meals in the restaurant but there are several to choose from, and not too badly priced. We did have room service which was superb and again not excessively priced.

The views from the glass lifts and the bar on the 51st floor were amazing.

The staff were perfect, always willing to help but never bothering you, they just seemd to 'be there' when you needed them.

Of course, this hotel is mainly a business hotel and while it's worth going to say you've been there it's not a first choice for a romantic break but for luxury, it's perfect.

A few tips:

as a guest of the hotel you get free admission to the Wild Wadi Water park (saving 25GBP/50USD per adult) and there is a free courtesy bus to get you there and back.

Also, if you want to go and have a look round the Burl-al-Arab, the 7* hotel, you usually have to go on a guided tour including tea at about 40GBP per person and your tour rep will tell you that is the only way you can go in.

However, as a guest of the ET (which is part of the same group) just ask them to book you in a tour which is free and while the times are fixed (9-10am, 5-6pm 11pm-midnight) you see more (including a 3 bedroom suite on the top floor) than you would on a proper tour (which only goes to the public areas).

It's def worth a look round.

Our excursions worth going on are the 'Dubai nights' which included dinner and the revolving restaurant at the Hyatt Dubai, giving great views, and also the Dhow dinner cruise on the Dubai Creek..... both include dinner and only work out about twice the cost of eating in the hotel anyway.....

Also good is the city tour on a open topped bus...

Finally, don't walk anywhere it's too damn hot and taxis are so cheap..... our 30 min ride back from the Burj only cost 4GBP

Any Q's just ask

Stayed at the Emirates Towers for 4 nights in May 2007 - I found an excellent rate direct on the Hotel's own web site of around £115 per night (including all taxes) for 2 people which included breakfast at the hotel.

As a resident you have access to the supfast lift which is a real experience.

The room was large with excellent views across Dubai. The bathroom was large and well equiped.

The free slippers are the best I have collected from Dubai to date and this includes the Hilton, Jumeriah Beach, Fairmont and the Jebel Ali!

Check-in process was excellent and efficient. The lobby was also buzzing with people.

Check you bill carefully - I managed to spot that my inclusive breakfast had been added to my bill on one occassion. To be fair when queried it soon came off straight away no arguements.

Ate in Scarletts which was excellent value and tasy food - would advise booking in advance!!!!

Funky room key - same shape as the Emirates Tower,
