Once I watched a program about architectural masterpieces. They talked about the largest observation wheel in the world - Ain Dubai. It is currently closed for repairs, but it remains just as attractive for viewing. I decided to check into a hotel with a view of this landmark. I found several options that meet my requirements. I invite you to take a look and consider them as well. The image galleries and prices get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on December 06, 2024.

I will continue my story with another hotel — Amwaj Rotana Jumeirah Beach - Dubai. It has the same beautiful view of the local landmark.
The hotel’s location also provides a complete view of Ain Dubai. Combine swimming in the pool with sightseeing. Sunbathe on a sunbed and take in every detail of this architectural masterpiece. Come for breakfast early to secure a table by the window. In the evening, have a date here to admire Ain Dubai with its night lighting on.
Look at the photos — how clearly the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel can be seen from the hotel windows. There’s no need to pay extra for the view. Even the cheapest room provides a panoramic view of the attraction. Just make sure of this when booking in case of unforeseen circumstances. The rooms are spacious and recently renovated. The interior style is cozy, with soft elements. Glass doors lead to the terrace. Relax there with a glass of sparkling wine and a magnificent view. Thick curtains on the panoramic windows will ensure a healthy sleep. But it seems to me that for a few more days after checking in, you won't want to close the curtains.
I recommend adding breakfasts and dinners to your stay for an additional fee. The area is prestigious, so the restaurants here are expensive. The food at the hotel is delicious and diverse. The buffet offers meat and fish dishes with various side dishes, eggs, pancakes, toasts, pastries, yogurts, muesli, and porridges. Stock up on vitamins and treat yourself to fresh fruits and nuts. The coffee and desserts deserve special praise. You will receive polite service from the waitstaff here. However, there are still some drawbacks at breakfast – guests complain about huge lines, so come early in the morning. Tip: inform the staff about an early check-out, and they will prepare a breakfast for you to take with you.
You can diversify your gastronomic experience every Saturday at the Carnival Brunch. You will enjoy a luxurious buffet with unlimited drinks, vibrant performances by artists, and a breathtaking view of Ain Dubai. If you or your partner work in the hospitality or aviation industry, you will be pleased to know about a 40% discount on Crew and Hotelier Night on Mondays. But other hotel guests should also know that the restaurants regularly have "happy hours" with promotions on food and drinks. Please inquire with the staff about this.
Ja Ocean View Hotel

- 28.3 km
- Pub
- Bar / Lounge
- Massage
- Massage / Beauty Centre
- Tennis Courts
- Billiards
- Bicycle Rental
Ja Ocean View Hotel — a hotel located in the same area as the previous ones. I do not choose this location for nothing: it provides the best views of the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel.
The hotel windows and pool area offer a stunning view of Ain Dubai. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and the Persian Gulf, this white structure looks particularly contrasting and impressive. In the evening, a vibrant illumination creates a glowing atmosphere all around.
Book a hotel room with a sea view, and you will be greeted by the magnificent Ain Dubai. The panoramic view of Dubai's highlight will provide a view from the Dubai Eye room. If you are traveling with a large family, then your choice is a family connecting room with two bedrooms. A great view of Bluewaters Island is guaranteed. Watch evening performances without leaving the room, or close the thick curtains when the lighting is bothersome. The rooms have everything you need. The interiors are decorated in shades of blue, which highlights the vibrant view from the window.
Relax in the spacious panoramic pool with a view of Ain Dubai. Spend time on the sun terrace or grab a pre-packed beach bag and head to the bay. Yes, right from the pool level. Large beach towels and umbrellas will be provided by the staff, but you will have to pay for the sun loungers. Sports enthusiasts will enjoy playing paddle tennis or visiting the gym. If you have children, you can entrust them to a nanny at the CoolZone kids' club. They will take care of them while you relax, for example, in the spa.
At the moment, the Ja Ocean View hotel has a slightly lower rating than others on my list, so I want to point out its drawbacks. It needs a minor cosmetic renovation and the updating of some amenities. The breakfasts are great, but they are not included in the cost of the stay. Not all the staff are friendly, but I hope that the situation will be improved by the time we arrive.

I'll start with the hotel that offers the best view of the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel. Sofitel is located in the Jumeirah Beach Residence area, and Dubai's iconic landmark is showcased here in all its glory.
The perfect view of the attraction will be from the rooms overlooking Bluewaters Island. Due to the building being located on another island, Ain Dubai is visible in full scale. A breathtaking sight! Whether swimming in the panoramic pool or sitting on the terrace of your room, you can enjoy the views.
There are rooms available with a view solely of the sea, but I recommend paying extra for those with a view of the Ferris wheel. Please confirm during booking if such options are available. I can imagine how romantic it would be to spend time with such a panorama. The luxurious room will have sliding shutters in the bathroom. This allows you to enjoy the views from the window while taking a bath. Relax on a cozy sofa with a cup of coffee from the Nespresso coffee machine. Drift off to sleep on high-quality bedding from My Bed under the lights of the evening illumination from Ain Dubai.
For me, it is important that the hotel supports environmental care. This is especially necessary in the modern world. Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach has a Green Key certification. Here, you won't encounter single-use plastics, as the staff has eliminated plastic straws, bottles, and trash bags. Instead, you will find reusable Lanvin toiletries in the bathrooms. You will be provided with glass water bottles and reusable clean take-out containers. You won't have to sign papers at check-in – you'll receive a room key made of eco-friendly materials. Additionally, the chefs support local suppliers and source many products for their dishes from them. The hotel promotes recycling, minimizes waste, reduces energy consumption, and encourages guests for less frequent linen changes.
For an additional fee, you can add breakfasts and dinners to your stay. However, I recommend not stopping there and agreeing to spend time at one of the themed evenings. Every Monday evening, enjoy Asian dishes. On Tuesday, an Arabic barbecue awaits you with delicious meat. Wednesday's Italian delicacies will delight you with a variety of flavors at the buffet. Thursday is the day you embark on a worldwide journey of street food from around the globe. I am looking forward to it! Friday will delight you with French delicacies. And on Saturday, you can expect a mix of cuisines from all over the world. Sunday is a day of fun. Try to eat as many ribs as you can.
