“Al Bandar Rotana smartly balances luxury and location along Dubai Creek. I'm particularly drawn to its rooftop scene: a pool with city views and a gastropub that's the only one of its kind in this part of Dubai. It's a solid choice, especially if you appreciate having both leisure and business amenities at your fingertips.”

i stayed at This place for four nights. the hotel gave me a fruit basket, cake, and bottle of wine complimentary to celebrate my anniversary. breakfast each morning was great with lots of choice, even a fresh egg station.

the pool bar wasn't the best, nor was the pool area because of small size. i didn't like the bar staff, i had to send my whiskey back often. i think there are possibly lots of fake reviews for This place.
