New Intercontinental / Crowne Plaza Hotels
The new Intercon is now open in Festival City (near to Ikea). The Crowne Plaza next door is about to open - 1200 rooms and 19 restaurants between them.
It will be interesting to see if they are as GF as their sister hotels - usually this is the case. Only a 15 minute (outside rush hour), 25dhs taxi ride from the Golden Triangle across the new Business Bay Bridge so may be a good location for some.

Four Points by Sheraton, Downtown, not so girl friendly.
Well, I decided to push my luck last night and brought back a girl who I knew didn't have her original passport with her (I think this is the norm?). I thought maybe the desk jockey would have some leeway. NOPE, nothing but the original and a visa letter to will do. DENIED ENTRY!
Has anyone else had this problem there yet?
[QUOTE=Unirii]Blah. Last two nights the front desk has insisted not just on a passport copy but the original. What a pain. Thursday night there was actually a short queue of guys registering their girls. Friday my GF was in town and I brought her. The guy at the desk started to say something about "same procedure as last night" before I shot him the most murderous look I've ever had. Fortunately chica didn't notice.[/QUOTE]
