Hello Friends.

I have been changing my hotels stay from time to time due to Red / Green issues.

Many hotels like Fairmont confirmed green when I checked in and turned Red when I walked with a WG.

To my knowledge the best way is to check with the WG'S in the clubs or Pimps with whom we have contact.

They are the source of correct information's.

In my last visit in April I have booked in Sheraton Deira for a week which used to be super green all these years.

I was informed that it is Red when I checked in.

Stayed for a day (had no choice) and then cancelled my bookings for other days.

Walked in to the Night club late evening and WG'S there were giving list of Green hotels in the vicinity.

Messaged to the pimps with whom I had contacts and checked with them who were also giving the list of Green hotels.

From then on this became my strategy.

How about a RTFF and the a phone call? Hyatt has been well reported on before and there are lots of comments about the hotel changing from purple to blue and then orange.

You should be ok in 5 star hotels.

Question regarding "red" hotels, in general are the ones that are red like Hyatt regency or Grand Hyatt only off limits for "visitors" coming after you have checked in?

In other words, is it ok if you check in with your girl and have a room with double occupancy? I know some of the smallest hotels kick up a fuss if the 2 people checking in are of very distinct origins, but will that be a problem in any of the 5 stars which are supposedly "red" ?

Red generally means unmarried couples cannot check in period.

Keep in mind that a large percentage of the local population here believes that traffic rules do not apply to them, only to foreigners to get an idea of what to expect.

Especially the people tasked with enforcing it, who are above the law!

True not all arrests make to the news, this avoid the embarrassment of letting them go free with no punishment in many cases.

In any case given the case by case approach to law enforcement here I find laughable all the advice given here.

A few weeks ago I saw an article from the local UAE news online: again, I am just saying what was in the story: A Moroccan woman was leaving a bar late one night. Two guys offered her a ride home, but instead drove her inland to the desert. They stopped and raped her. However she was able to then get away from them and ran to the road and flagged down a passing truck. The only amusing part of the story was that it was almost 4 am when she flagged down the truck which had I think a couple of Omani workers in it. The woman was naked and the driver was quoted as saying when he saw her in the road he thought she was a ghost. She had the license plate number of the guys who raped her. The next day the police arrested them and they were both Emirati males. So it would be interesting to know the outcome of this case.

We are now stuck because the free zone authority has decided that we can not have more than 5 shareholders. There is no rule anywhere stating this limit, just the guy sitting there has decided that nobody needs more than 5 shareholders.

Improvement? Sorry, I see no improvement at all. Furthermore I expect things to get worst as the ruling families need to appease the population with a much smaller budget. Get ready to plenty of "tough on infidel dog" shit. My 2 cents.

I am not saying your wrong but it has improved and no they don't make the news so they can release them as for the traffic rules that is a 100 procent true they have only one rule NL.

There are no rules.

Ramee Rose, Grand Millennium, Boutique 7 and Time hotel at Tecom are green, need original ID. Mostly the hotels confirm they don't allow visitors, while you check with them over the phone or by email! Because it's the law here! The decision to allow visitor to your room is generally made by the receptionist and / security team. Just be discreet and subtle while you walk in (as Wicked Roger mentioned earlier) and you could feel it more easier. When you book dbl room, you shouldn't be paying the surcharge at all, as it's the extra perk the receptionist make at night. Be bold and stand firm, as you already have paid for a double occupancy.

Any new information on the supposed change? I will be staying there and my long time girl is flying in to meet me. Won't be trying to sneak her in late night and she will not be dressed like coming from club.

Can I just register her and pay the difference in rate? She will be there multiple nights and during day hours as well.

Cheers.

Nope TKn, they'll continue as it is. It's just a merger and won't dilute the brand identities. In fact, Marriott members would be able to benefit their privileges at SPG hotels and the other way around. That's awesome. The green / red strategies are purely as per local laws or the individual hotel owner / management decisions, which affects us poor mongers.

Marriott is buying Starwood for $12.2 billion, creating the world's largest hotel company.

Starwood owns LMA and Sheraton chains hotels.

Do you think the status of the hotel will change from this acquiring?
