“I was particularly drawn to the Creole-inspired dining-something genuinely different. The location in Business Bay puts you close to the Dubai Mall and the Fountain, plus it's hard to overlook those Burj Khalifa views from many rooms. The access to a private beach adds a resort feel to a city stay.”

I observed maintenance was lacking. My room smelled strongly of stale smoke, despite my request for a non-smoking room. Staff did not address this issue adequately. sound insulation looked poor. I could hear street noise late each night and it was quite disruptive.
