Big Jul[quote]I think the one at the rear is used mainly as a transit hotel by airlines.[/quote]That is correct. In fact they provide transit visas as well. The last time my friend came to dubai from India he stayed there and he was paying Dhs 110 per day for the 4 days that he was there. The only requirement for providing transit visa is that you should have a confirmed onward booking for another destination. The cost of transit visa wsa not included in the room cost. The rooms were big an airy. Very pleasant place. Would recommend that for someone who was just passing through.
Though a little out of way from the main centres it is just a 15 minute taxi ride away from most places.

Hi Gents,
Just got back from DXB. Well my trip to DXB was a little disappointing this time (Got caught out by work, so could not hobby). Anyhow stayed at the Taj Palace, the place is very strict I would say. At night there are guards posted at all three of the entrances to the hotel and they will question a girl if she walks in alone (One night he asked my regular girl if she was staying at the hotel).
The lobby layout...
Main Entrance
This floor has a main entrance, many people busy even at midnight/1am, many people always popping in and out. Security at the doors will ask if they suspect, but if you get past security then the reception desk on your right will not question or stop you as you walk to the main lifts.
Side Entrance
After 10pm when the Hotels restaurants and shops have shut, there is only one security guard here at this entrance, and no other staff. If you make it past this one guard, you will come to another set of lifts far away from the lobby. Although the lift only has buttons for the 1st, 2nd and 6th Floors (Not sure why?, think its for extra guests arriving to a conference hall that they have on the 6th floor).
Back Entrance
Again same as Side entrance. One guard after 10pm, another set of lifts, not sure which floors they allow access to though.
I think in general although I did not get stopped once whilst walking in with my girl, the Taj Palace is pretty strict. Entrance to the hallway to your room requires entry via another key card access door, so if you need a girl to your room and are not staying in an apartment in the hotel, its better if you meet her in the lobby (Apartment floors do not have extra security doors).
Your best bet I think is the same as what Badass suggested, which is walk in through the front of door of any hotel, with the girl on your arm and just act as if you have known her for years.
Obviously if you are drunk, hand on her arse and she is dressed for SW business then you are gonna have a problem LoL! Especially at the Taj Palace.
I'd easily trade this place for the girl friendly attitude I had at the Sheraton Dubai Creek.

Hi,
I stayed at the Haytt Regency Hotel. Apparently they have changed the rules about taking up guests. Now they charge 90 Dhs per night for taking up a guest to your room.
Also stayed at the Ramada Continental Deira and their was no problm in taking girls up to your room.

Faisal,
Did you stay at the Grand Hyatt or the Hyatt Regency, because the bludy Grand Hyatt is totally unfriendly!

I had been thinking of staying at the Hyatt Regency (with its Premiere disco). But after reading posts on this great forum about their less than friendly policies, I decided against it.
It's amusing to me that you can shop for all kind of sex in the lobby/disco, but they give you so much crap about taking the girl to the room. The hypocrisy!!
-
Sheraton Dubai Creek is a very nice hotel and perfectly friendly. I called in a nice CIS I met in the new Hyatt the night before and we had a perfect nooner. No hassle.
York has many Eritreans and Ethiopians, for those who share, like and enjoy my 'normal' regional preference.
Across from York I was in an African bar. Disappointing.
Cyclone was flooded with Far East Asia and I was quite disturbed after a couple of beers.

Has anybody any experience about the 'friendliness' of Fairmont Hotel?
-
Hi Everyone,
Stayed at the Haytt Regency Hotel and not the grand Haytt.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
Wish you all a very Happy New Year for mongering. If anyone has ventured to stay in the Regent Palace Hotel please be careful if you want to take guests there since they charge Dhms 200 per person extra. I have had that experience some time back.
Cheers.

I stayed at the Jebal Ali Hotel. Totally girl friendly and a nice environment. One can enjoy at the beach as well.

I've beeb invited to Dubai by an old friend who is loaded and staying at Burj-al-Arab. I know the hotel is very nice, but no point staying there if it is girl unfriendly. I'd much rather go elsewere. Any ideas as to wether it is ok?

I have never stayed there, from reliable sources: guests are OK, as long as you register them at the reception. Sneaking a chic into your room/suite will be problem.
-
I have a friend you works directly with the Burj-al-Arab it is NOT girl friendly. They have a very very high cliental who check in with their own sw girls. So it would be very difficult to get a girl to come up to your room.
-
No problem at the Burj Al Arab.I also had a friend stay there and I Went in with a girl.The problem is you have to pay I think it was 50 Dirham for anyone to get into the hotel.I paid 100 for the girl and I and they did not even look at her.It is totally friendly. I will post a detailed report on my trip as soon as I get a breather from work.

Burj Al Arab is quite guest friendly. All the girl has to do is quote the suite number. The staff and hotel is quite tuned in, they simply ask to see the girls passport copy and all the regular girls seem to know this.
