Its Arabian hospitality and cruise-inspired design offer a unique contrast, centrally located near the Burj Khalifa and the souks.

Wonderful Stay With Excellent Service!

I got a complimentary upgrade to an Executive Suite. This room ensured my stay was comfortable. The breakfast restaurant was clean, and the WiFi was stable! The Indian bar and lounge, called Gallops, provided a wonderful experience. It had very delicious cocktails.
The Arab disco was not for me. I didn't stay there for long.

I am so excited! i totally loved the super central location. It meant i could easily walk to so many shops and restaurants. the al rigga metro station is close, like a one minute walk, it made exploring super easy.
A minor thing, but the gym equipments looked a little outdated. Nothing serious though!
