Best Luxury Hotels in Sharjah Emirate

The Chedi Al Bait Sharjah – located deep within the old town – is composed of seven adjoining Emirati heritage houses, lovingly restored over a number of years and opened in 2018 as an intimate, boutique hotel. Known as the ‘Al Bait’ until it was acquired and rebranded by the luxury Chedi group in 2020, the property offers 65 bedrooms and suites arranged across a low-rise arrangement of interconnecting buildings and organised around a series of internal courtyards. Facilities include a spa, outdoor swimming pool, gym, a variety of dining venues and a dedicated library. Public areas are set among shaded walkways, ornamental gardens and open-air quadrangles which pay homage to the hotel’s heritage while imbuing it with a secluded, sanctuary-like feel.

Unlike anything else in the area, The Oberoi Beach Resort features contemporary Italian architecture and sleek minimalist interiors that take their cue from Scandinavian style. Everything is neat and angular with muted neutral colours, offset by the occasional soft lime, deep royal blue, or dark wood finish. A huge narrow 85-metre infinity pool surrounded by immaculate teak loungers faces out to a private stretch of beach. There’s a separate kids pool, as well as a children’s club. The mangrove forest next door is great for bird watching, while the spa offers Ayurvedic and Turkish Hammam rituals in its multiple mini buildings, connected via walkways. Guests can dine in two restaurants, or order food in-suite via the private butler service.

This uber-trendy hotel places you at the heart of the cultural action in the Al Taawun area of town. The rooms here have an urban-chic style, with plenty of mod cons, such as wireless Bose music players, huge TVs, dining areas (even in the standard category of rooms) and Roger & Gallet bath products. Coffee is served in the lobby bar, while the Al Khan restaurant has live cooking stations and an adventurous menu served day and night, as well as frequent all-you-can-eat seafood banquets. Fresh juices and snacks can be enjoyed by the infinity pool by day and guests have access to the spa and fitness centre.
