Posts: 15Re The New InterContinenatal Hotel
Its a very impressive hotel. The lobby is a bit different as it is long and narrow with all the restaurants and bars off to each side. There are little couches dotted around that were occupied by potential ladies from time to time but it was hard to tell if they were working or not.
The Bar Kaiki will have a good scene in time but for now it is too early. There were a couple of potential's there but in truth it was too difficult to tell and I certainly was not going to take a chance and approach.
It was no problem whatsoever bringing Guests to your room. No one asked any of us for paperwork or to register someone. It was a case of straight in no questions asked.
Another point worth noting is that while on the map it looks to be well outside the centre in reality it is just past the New bridge and is no more that 7-10 minutes from the airport places (which imo were the best places but more on that later)
It is a hotel that is being pitched very high and perhaps the clientele it attracts will be hoping to get the high end of the price range also.

Thanks for taking time to reply. I did do a search, I also took the time to check all your previous posts by clicking on your name and then following the tab saying find all previous reports by this person. However, not finding exactly what I was looking for, I needed clarification.
It would be pretty poor for a senior member did not to go into depth and RTFF before asking a question regarding a hotel.
Steamer,
Thanks for the information regarding the time it it likely to take. While I'm reasonably familiar with DXB (ask Bravo about when I 'pinched' his 'date'), the Business Bridge is new to me. Everything tends to change every six months if you're outside the country. You probably don't notice it so much if you live there :_) I eagerly await the FR from Peruvian who should be staying at the new Intercontinental this week.
If anyone would like to meet up for a drink before the Santana concert, please let me know and PM me.
Cheers

Posts: 64I've posted a fair bit about the new Intercon in this very forum - try a search ! The answer is about 20 minutes from all the venues you mention out of rush hour. During rush hour who knows.

Posts: 64The last time a mate of mine stayed at the Jorman it was definitely not GF. Same goes for many hotel apartments as they aim to be family firendly. Try Ramee, Dar Al Sondos or other Meridein apartments.

Posts: 64I can confirm Ibis is 100% GF.
Also try Sheraton Four Points, both the old one and the new one in Bud Dubai.

It's an easy 10-15 min cab ride, depending on traffic and time of night, from there to either Deira's Radisson, Premiere etc or over the Creek to GT (slightly further away). Probably cost about Dh20.
Rattler is further away but via new Business Bay bridge and Al Khail Road is just as quick to get to from there - again about 15 mins in a cab and probably about Dh25-30.

Posts: 369Intercontinental at Festival City
Hi,
I've just confirmed that I'll be coming down to DXB for the Santana concert in a few weeks time and will be staying at the new Intercontinental at Festival City. I've checked the threads and there is very little info on this hotel since it's relatively new.
Since I'm not familiar with the area of Festival City, realistically, which are the closest venues for mongering. Is it reasonably close to the Golden Triangle, or would I have to go looking at the Premier in the Hyatt for upmarket, or the Garage for downmarket? I get the impression from looking at a map that it's a fair distance away from the Rattler.
Any further information regarding the new Intercon would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Expatcat

Posts: 4Hotel Apartments
Hi,
Does any one have or heard of any experiences at the hotel apartments.
Unfortunately dont have too much choices due to affordable vacancies at the reasonably nice hotels.
My left choices are:
Jormand or Fortune Suites
Have usually stayed in hotels so dont have any clue of these being GF?
Will definitely post FR ending the trip!
Have fun!

Posts: 26Hyatt Regency
Hi guys, I am new to this site and have registered recently. I am a regular visitor since last 3 yrs to Dubai.
I stayed at Hyatt Regency last year in month of March and found it totally safe for mongering. I believe it is safe in a hotel to pay "Room Supplement" then taking risks and finding out other ways to avoid "walk of shame" or LE. I had a nice time for 3 nights all spent at premiere there itself. Quality place without any hassle of going to other places and wasting time in taxis.
All this is advised for a new comer to Dubai who is fully prepared to enjoy without any risks.
I am going next week on 24th Jan and have planned my stay at Crown Plaza & Raddison Deira for 2 nights each (Hyatt was unavailable) after going through immense amount of study on this site and knowing from fellow mongers. I will keep you informed with my latest experience. Planned to try out KUBU (when I am at Radisson) & Rattlesnake for a change along with Premiere which is my priority. Quality Stuff.

Posts: 13Hotel Ibis
I am looking for budget style accomodation in Dubai (under $150 per night).
Is the Ibis GF?
Can you recommend other hotels in that price range that is? I am just looking for a clean room within reasonable distance of tourist and night spots.
