The Good Stuff
Desserts
The dessert counter has several memorable choices, with Saint-Honoré, strawberry tart, chocolate cookie and date pudding all specifically recommended.
Calm Setting
Reviews describe a beautiful, quiet lobby lounge with a comfortable atmosphere and views toward the pool or Arabian Gulf.
Breakfast
Breakfast works well for a relaxed coffee stop, with reviews highlighting shakshoka, French toast and Japanese-style wagyu-and-truffle eggs Benedict.
Tea Choice
The oolong tea is specifically recommended, while another guest praised the freshly prepared teas and generous refills during afternoon tea.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book Ahead. Reserve in advance if you want vegan afternoon tea; one guest booked ahead and received vegan bites in the lounge setting.
Visit Weekdays. Weekdays are likely calmer for couples or families; a review specifically contrasts them with busier weekends.
Budget Juices. Check the inclusions before ordering afternoon tea: juices were charged separately in one customer’s visit.
Try Oolong. Oolong tea is a clearly recommended choice if you want something beyond the usual afternoon-tea selection.
Use Valet. Valet parking is available, which is useful if you are visiting the hotel lounge by car.

Common Concerns
Weekend Crowds
The lounge can become busy on weekends, and one guest arrived to find no seats available after others were seated first.
Scones
One afternoon-tea review found the scones disappointing and felt some sandwich flavours were less successful than the presentation.
Slow Orders
A guest reported waiting more than 23 minutes for a cocktail and crème brûlée, which arrived warm and over-burnt.
Value Concern
One reviewer enjoyed the concept but felt the set menu did not justify its price relative to the simplicity of the food and dessert.

The Bottom Line
Noor Lounge is a polished tea house in Jumeirah for afternoon tea, coffee, breakfast and a sweet bite in a calm lobby setting. Afternoon tea is the main draw: reviews mention fresh sandwiches, beautifully crafted cakes and a vegan version arranged in advance. The lounge also suits a quieter catch-up over coffee, with the Saint-Honoré, strawberry tart and date pudding among the more distinctive dessert mentions.
The setting is a strong part of the experience. Guests describe the lobby as elegant, peaceful and comfortable, with views toward the pool and Arabian Gulf. It can work for couples, families or a meeting, although one review found weekends busy enough that no seats were available.
Weekdays should be the easier choice if you want a more relaxed visit. Service is usually attentive and welcoming, with staff helping guests choose meals and keeping afternoon tea topped up with fresh tea. There are a few cautions: one older review disliked the scones, while another reported a 23-minute wait and desserts arriving warm.
Check what is included before ordering; a 2023 review reported 320AED for afternoon tea for two, with juices extra, while another reported 380 AED for two. Valet parking is available.
