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. Adorned with a gold pyramidion and in the shape of an obelisk, representative of the Luxor Obelisk currently in Paris, Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk majestically thrones in the heart of Dubai. 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
