Perfectly situated for strolls through vibrant Deira, metro adventures, shopping (plus a gratis mall shuttle) & access to the historic Creek area.

5 bars/restos onsite (count ‘em!), delighting with everything from a sports bar with killer tapas menu to a cocktail lounge with shisha bar.

Nothing says ‘welcome’ like free indoor valet parking and complimentary Arabic coffee and dates in the lobby.

Those cookies though.

In the heart of the Financial District, so you can stroll to all sorts of to-dos and the metro.

Simply sleek rooms stay out of your way but have all the comfort you need.
