TL;DR
Most Dubai hotels hold a security deposit on your card at check-in, but the exact amount is rarely published online — it's more reliable to contact the hotel directly before your trip.
Guests staying at Rose Rayhaan by Rotana couldn't find deposit information published anywhere and asked fellow travelers before check-in.
For Stella Di Mare Dubai Marina Hotel, no published deposit info was found either — whether a deposit is charged and how much remains unclear, so it's best to confirm at booking.
Travelers who stayed at Hyatt Centric Jumeirah found no deposit info publicly available, confirming that Dubai hotels rarely disclose deposit policies on their websites.
