The Chedi Al Bait, Sharjah

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.

We had a truly wonderful stay! Our entire family came together for this trip, and we were absolutely delighted by the experience. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive service throughout our stay, everything was done with care and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. Every detail — from the rooms to the amenities — was thoughtfully prepared. It was the perfect place for us to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together. Thank you for making our stay so special — we’ll definitely be back!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at The Chedi Al Bait – truly nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect. The pool area only has 12 loungers, but as the occupancy was very low during our stay, we had it almost entirely to ourselves, which made it incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The room was very spacious with a lovely private patio – a real highlight. I also highly recommend the à la carte breakfast, which was excellent in both quality and service. The location is ideal for walking around and exploring the area. I also recommend a visit to the Sharjah Aquarium, which is nearby. There’s also a beautiful spa on-site, which looks amazing – although we didn’t get the chance to try it this time. We stayed for just one night. Check-in was at 2 PM, but our room was ready by 1 PM, which was a nice touch. Late check-out was offered until 12:30 PM, which we appreciated. Highly recommend for a relaxing and beautifully curated stay.

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!
