The Address Dubai Marina

Business, shopping and epicurean pursuits generally account for the large crowds constantly descending on the UAEs largest city, and The Address Dubai Marina is the ideal place in which to uninhibitedly pursue all three. The 200-room, 5-star hotel is located in one of Dubai’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, just steps away from the white sandy beaches of the Arabian Gulf. Shopping on the agenda? The Address is directly linked with the Dubai Marina Mall. For guests in the mood for more leisurely pursuits, the hotel boasts five restaurants and lounges, a relaxing luxury spa, and infinity pool. And finally, for those of a more capitalist nature, The Address Dubai Marina is just a short ride away from Dubai Media and Internet Cities, Knowledge Village, and Jebel Ali Free Zone.

There’s something for everyone at Mazina including a sweeping view of the Marina from your table. The show kitchens will keep you and your company thoroughly amused throughout your meal.
