This 400-room hotel is actually part of the terminal. Choose an odd numbered room for runway rooms (binoculars are provided for bird watching). Fairmont Gold clubrooms give access to the 14th floor Lounge, which opens at 6:30 am. Pre-book a chocolate vanilla manicure or a mud body exfoliation in the Absolute Spa, part of the growing brand run by Sergio Cocchia and Wendy Lisogar-Cocchia. Globe@YVR can provide Food for Flight.
Owner Surinder Arora - part owner of Wentworth Golf Club - has given this new 605-room hotel interior Zen gardens, a 117-seat screening room and a Tea 5 all-day tea emporium. You also have restaurants overseen by chef Albert Roux, and a ten-seat Chef's Kitchen dining room that looks into the cooking area. The five-room spa has a hammam, and a 24-hour gym.
Attached to the South Terminal, with a five-minute train link to the North Terminal, the 821-room hotel includes some super-calming Relaxation Club rooms, with swimming fish as television screen-savers (all 260 sq ft Club rooms have futuristic bathrooms with Antonio Lupi basins and Grohe showers, and the fourth floor club lounge has real fish, in a two-sided tank).
In summer, borrow one of the stylish silver winter bikes for lots of exercise along miles of flat cycle paths. Year-round, admire the stunning in-hotel modern art, sourced by Galeri Asbaek (we love the 180-ft Jens Birkemose hanging in the 12-floor open atrium of this avant-garde hotel). The 383-room hotel's 12th floor Club Lounge has a working log-look fire, and there is a stainless-lined indoor pool.
There are 1,008 rooms here, attached to terminal one - but for style, choose a Tower room with access to the ninth floor lounge, open from 6.30am (club guests also have a 24-hour private gym up there). Facilities include an Oxygen Bar, for a quick revival, and the flexible-fun Lemons & Limes bar - we also like the rustic Taverne for local food.
The Government of Dubai owns two luxury airside hotels, managed by Dubai Airports Authority. Concourse I hotel has 88 rooms and suites, and there are 251 rooms in the newly-opened KCA-designed Concourse II hotel. Rooms range from 300 to 600 sq ft, and all come with ensuite bathrooms and 24-hour room service. You have a gym, spa, and plenty of restaurants.
Strategically built as a Peddle Thorp sculpture above the domestic terminal's carpark, the 280-room hotel offers an outstanding tasting of local wines at Airo restaurant (we enjoyed Gippsland 2006 Velvet Un-wooded Chardonnay and Velvet Pinot Noir, both 2006, which went well with fish and chips, Oz-style). Choose an end Spa Suite, for parlor and jacuzzi tub, and remember the gym and pool open at six am.
