The Element Dubai Airport is a modern, eco-friendly hotel, ideal for extended stays in Dubai. Here’s my detailed review of the hotel.
Element Dubai Airport offers competitive rates, particularly attractive for long stays.
Reservations can be made online, via the Marriott Bonvoy app, or directly with the hotel. Marriott Bonvoy members benefit from additional advantages when booking directly.
During my stay at the Element Dubai Airport hotel, the night cost 18,500 Marriott Bonvoy points or around CAD 90. I chose to pay for my night with my Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card to earn 5 points per dollar.

Located just 0.5 km from Dubai International Airport (DXB), the Element Dubai Airport hotel is perfectly placed for both business and leisure travellers. It offers easy access to Dubai’s business districts and major tourist attractions.
The hotel theoretically offers a digital check-in and mobile key service for seamless, contactless check-in.
However, during my stay, I wasn’t offered this option in the app and had to go to reception… where no one was (it was 1am).
To check in, I had to go to the Aloft Dubai Airport hotel, which is part of the same complex. But this cost me precious sleep time during my short stopover in Dubai!
The Element Dubai Airport hotel features 89 eco-friendly studios and suites, offering:
Room options include:
I chose the basic option, Studio King, and didn’t get any upgrades despite my Marriott Bonvoy Titanium Elite status. For this short night, it was more than enough!
I usually like to stay in Element hotels on long trips, to take advantage of the in-room washing machine. Or when I’m travelling with my family, to benefit from a fully-equipped kitchen.
The bathroom is quite well designed with a large shower.
On the dining side, the Element Dubai Airport hotel offers the following options:
The buffet breakfast – free to all – offers a variety of Eastern and Western options.
Other services offered by the Element Dubai Airport hotel include:
And a laundry room if the washing machine in your bedroom isn’t enough.
The free shuttle to Dubai International Airport is convenient:
The hotel is well located for exploring Dubai, with easy access to major tourist attractions and business areas. The free shuttle service to key sites such as Dubai Mall and La Mer is a major plus.
Element Dubai Airport stands out for its commitment to sustainability and its extended-stay concept. Spacious rooms with full kitchens or kitchenettes are particularly suited to longer stays. The bright, modern ambiance, combined with the many services on offer, makes it an excellent choice for business travellers and families alike.
Highlights include free continental breakfast, shuttles to key sites, and an eco-responsible approach. However, as with any airport hotel, a certain level of air traffic noise is to be expected. And I was disappointed by the lack of service on arrival at reception.
Overall, the Element Dubai Airport offers excellent value for money, particularly for extended stays, combining comfort, practicality and environmental commitment.
