The Meydan
Al Meydan Road, at Meydan Racecourse
In Arabic, the hotel’s name means “meeting point”—which is fitting, because each year competitors and fans congregate here for the Dubai World Cup, the most lucrative horse race in the world, with $10 million in prize money. During racing season, the hotel offers stable tours, so visitors can take a closer look the animals. All 284 rooms and suites have a view of the racetrack and most also have their own balcony. The Friday brunch at Farriers is not to be missed.
