“Obelisk's Burj-facing Sofitel luxury”
Sofitel Dubai the Obelisk is a luxurious, clean hotel near the airport and Wafi Mall — amazing rooms, Instagrammable Burj Khalifa views, one-of-a-kind customer service, high-quality amenities, a yummy breakfast, and a pool great for hot days; a staycation favourite. Two mild notes: the bed felt less comfortable than previous visits, and a few staff problems occurred — forgiven amid low-season regional tension.
