About us

Sophisticated and chic address in the epicenter of luxury, Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk elegantly merges modern French art de vivre and ancient Egyptian heritage with the essence and culture of the UAE.

Connected to Wafi, a premium shopping and leisure destination, Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk is just 10 minutes away from Dubai International Airport, the World Trade Centre (WTC) and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) as well as major cultural and tourist attractions including Burj Khalifa and La Mer beach
