The service is 2nd to none. The hotel room was so beautiful and absolutely perfect! From Krista and Krystal at reception, to Manisha in the restaurant, as well as Said as transport concierge, everyone was exceptional. On the morning I was leaving, I was even asked what breakfast I would like packed before my departure to the airport as I wasn't going to be able to make breakfast that morning. Everything was beyond perfect. I can't wait to go back!

Everything was perfect!

This hotel was absolutely perfect, from the moment of our arrival when we were offered a complimentary welcome drink, until the moment of our departure, the Chedi al Bait was an elegantly appointed oasis of calm. The service was impeccable. Staff members were unfailingly gracious, helpful and professional. The beautifully presented food of the hotel restaurants was exquisite. We enjoyed the spa, the swimming pool, the library and the lounge. The hotel, which has an interesting on site historical museum, is adjacent to a pleasant waterfront promenade and a traditional souk in a restored heritage area, the Heart of Sharjah.

There was nothing not to like about The Chedi al Bait. We only wished we could have stayed longer. The Chedi al Bait is truly our favourite hotel in all of the Emirates.

I recently stayed at The Chedi Al Bait in Sharjah, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, the warm and attentive staff made me feel truly welcome. The hotel's authentic ambiance provided a refreshing contrast to the modern expanses of Dubai and other Emirates. The rooms are tastefully decorated, reflecting the rich Emirati heritage while offering all the modern comforts one would expect from a luxury establishment. The communal areas, including the serene courtyards and inviting lounges, are perfect for relaxation. The culinary offerings are delightful, blending local and international flavors to cater to diverse palates. This stay allowed me to unwind and appreciate the authenticity of Sharjah, away from the hustle and bustle of larger neighboring cities. I highly recommend The Chedi Al Bait to anyone seeking a unique and memorable experience in the United Arab Emirates.

My spouse and I had a lovely stay at this hotel, though there were a few points that need attention. Breakfast (10/10) – Absolutely delicious! The food was varied, fresh, and high-quality. Definitely a highlight of our stay, though it is on the pricey side. Staff and Service (10/10) – The staff were incredibly kind and hospitable. They went the extra mile to ensure we had a pleasant experience. Venue (10/10) – The hotel is stunning, full of character, and beautifully designed. It has a unique charm that really sets it apart from other places. Location (7/10) – Only about a 20-30 minute drive to downtown Dubai. There are restaurants within walking distance, and it’s conveniently located near the water and the heart of Sharjah. Hot Water (2/10) – Unfortunately, the hot water in the showers didn’t last more than 5 minutes, which was very disappointing for a 5-star, expensive hotel. Despite raising the issue, they couldn’t offer a solution. Music (6/10) – The ambient music in the courtyards is nice, but it wasn’t turned off or lowered at night, and the sound carried into our room. We had to call several nights to ask them to lower the volume. A timer for the music would be a great solution to avoid disturbing guests. Beach & Shuttle (7/10) – The hotel offers a shuttle to Herra public beach. However, we encountered issues booking it and missed the pickup due to an incorrectly communicated meeting point. Thankfully, the hotel resolved the situation, but I’d recommend double-checking the details with the front desk when booking. The beach was beautiful and has several restaurants, but it should be noted that it is very male-dominated (unlike other beaches closer to downtown Dubai). If you plan to swim, especially as a woman or a girl, I’d recommend covering up and wearing a full-body suit. Spa (8/10) – The service was excellent, though the prices were quite high.

This is Sharjah's one and only 5* hotel. Located on the corniche and within the Heart of Sharjah Historical District, it's a very special hotel for a break from the busyness of Dubai (it's also 1hr away including the traffic). The staff were outstanding and nothing was ever a problem. The amenities are great and the hotel feels like a resort, could be because it's also a historically preserved building (Al Bait). I also particularly loved the free dates you have in the rooms. Very nice touch. Arabian Teahouse is also just outside the hotel.

The property has everything you need. The service is exceptional, the staff like Jesely is very thoughtful and does anything to make your stay extra comfortable. The hotel has three restaurants and one cafe to enjoy from traditional to a variety of dishes for a real culinary experience. The design is very original making you feel that you are in a private village, in an Old Dubai! It has really transported us to a different world. They also have private chef with complementary transport, and use of facilities like swimming pool, and spa (sauna, jacuzzi, and cold bath). We have absolutely loved every single minute at The Chedi and we would recommend everyone to join this experience. We will come back, if it’s not to Dubai to a different Chedi! Thank you 🙏🏽

What a stunning property, beautifully renovated and maintained. You can tell that a lot of effort was put into layouts, material and detail as everything is top notch. The staff is fantastic and made my stay really memorable and I’d like to particularly thank Ms Crystel, Ms Jesly and Mr Yassine for being so attentive, kind and generous! Unfortunately I don’t have the names of the valet and the swimming pool staff gentlemen, who were extremely thoughtful and welcoming. Rooms are absolutely stunning with great functionality. I was offered an upgrade but finally decided to stay in my original Patio Room which was smaller but had a lovely external area. Lightening fixtures in the room have 4 dimming settings and I found it perfect, as if reading customers mind. Also the light arrangements in hotel’s open spaces are magical and transport you into a fairy tale every evening. Privacy and comfort is a priority and at one instance, when I’ve had a minor issue, duty manager appeared within a few minutes without me even requesting it. This kind of pro-activity shows this place is really top notch. Breakfast has everything and is absolutely delicious, staff very attentive and orders arrive very promptly. Portions were too big for me and it was nice that the staff/kitchen listened and brought smaller portions as ordered. In case you can’t make it, they provide a take-away which is again, so thoughtful. I can’t wait to return to this place for a longer stay!

Everything was amazing

The historical building, calm vibe and incredible staff. Happy front desk welcoming staff, even at 4am when I arrived and assisted throughout my stay. Ari gave me the best spa treatment ! Highly recommend her. Shorty in the restaurant was attentive and accommodating my request at breakfast and dinner. The food in all restaurants is fabulous. And Issam round the pool was a delight to chat with and secured me a spot in the morning sunshine. The room was perfect ! Great beds. Slept well. Can’t wait to come back

Lack of space around the pool. But it can’t be helped due to the amazing location

The Chedi Al Bait – More Than a Hotel, Truly a Home When I first heard the name Al Bait, I was curious—does it really feel like home? But after just a few hours, I had my answer. Yes, it does. Completely. It’s cozy and intimate, yet filled with thoughtful details that make all the difference. The hospitality, the warmth, the kindness—everything was beyond perfect. A special thank you to Krestal, Umaimah, Yaseen (my absolute favorite!), Maher, and the first person who welcomed me with a beautiful smile, Sayed. As someone incredibly picky, who rarely finds a place that feels just right—you nailed it. And since home isn’t a place you visit just once, I’ll definitely be back. Thank you to the entire team for making this stay unforgettable.

The Chedi Al Bait is Sharjah is one of the 3 best hotels I have been in my (reasonably long) life (the other two are the Hotel die Cappuccini in Amalfi, Italy and El Parador Conde della Gomera, Gomera, Canary Islands, Spain. No other hotel I have seen around the world comes even close to the taste, the elegance, the aesthetics, the history of these three. The space is also very generous (you basically get a small apartment), the comfort is great, dates and nuts and GLASS bottles of water,...

Nothing. We have been there four times and will return shortly in February when the Art Biennale is active.
