I was looking at a few hotels and was wondering if anyone can help me choose? I primarily want to do sightseeing but it would be nice to have time on the beach. I only have 2 nights (landing evening, leaving in afternoon):

- Taj Dubai

- St Regis on the palm

- Shangri-La Dubai

- Waldorf Astoria the Palm

- Waldorf Astoria Financial Center


A beach resort sounds nice so I’m leaning towards that but only issue is that it might also be logistically hard if I want to see the Dubai Mall + Burj Khalifa?

I was thinking St Regis might be a good balance since it’s not on the leaf of the palm but it might also be nice to stay somewhere downtown to get city views?

I’m having a tough time deciding. I’m a solo traveler and only have 2 nights. I leave next week (yes I book late). Paying with cash and $300 budget
