Hotel was recommended by my business associate and I got a great deal on the room. Stayed for 3 nights and the hotel was perfect and what you expect from a Ritz Carlton. However and I should say not surprising being a business hotel in Dubai it was swamped with prostitutes. I was approached by two of them on checking in and when I told the reception staff they were clearly embarrassed and explained there was little they could do.
It seemed like every time you turned a corner there would be one. I even had to watch a negotiation between one and a client while waiting for the lift they assumed I didn't understand Arabic. Management should really do something about this but I think it's the type of guests who stay there that attract the working girls.
Definitely NOT family friendly. Dear Guest. We had taken your feedback into consideration and our loss prevention team had done a thorough investigation to understand the situation. It's AED6. Cold towels at check-in, then escorted to room for an orientation of it's many features. Concierge Hira very helpful throughout our visit, which included booking a Europcar car rental.
She and her colleagues are a credit to Ritz-Carlton. Fast, spacious lifts. Keycard required for room and lifts. There's a clear glass panel between the room and bathroom, but a blind can be pulled down within the bathroom. Effective electronic! Quiet and effective air-con units, which can be adjusted manually for temperature.
