Dubai - Hotel Information

[Member #4717]

As long you are OK with Bur Dubai, try (Royal Ascot Hotel), they are green for 100 aed to let the lady come (lady registration by ID required), I heard that (The Ascot Hotel) allow for free, it's the hotel just next to Royal Ascot.

Good luck.

As I'm planning for a fast visit to Dubai this weekend, I checked with Arabia courtyard by email, to understand the policy.

The reply was negative, in contrary to what was mentioned in earlier report.

I'm trying to find another option.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks for that piece of intel, but I won't be changing my reservation for Arabian Courtyard just yet. What a monger is told in an e-mail and what happens when he is standing at the reception desk with his WG can absolutely be two different things.

Until we read a report here on ISG where a monger and his WG are turned away at the reception desk by Arabian Courtyard, we should all still consider that hotel "green."

That is why I mentioned, if you have booked for two guests and show ID in reception. No way in help they can stop you.

Just to add to this -- I contacted Majestic and they said visitors are not allowed. Now they could be just giving the standard answer as per UAE laws, but just FYI. The actual policy may be different.

Well, while I can't confirm that with first hand experience, my WL friend just messaged me with several GF hotels after I told her that FP Sheraton Khalid Bin Waleed st is now RED (Confirmed BTW as I contacted them). One of the GF hotels she mentioned was indeed Majestic Bur Dubai. So take that for what it's worth. WL's usually know which hotels are GF.

I am planning a visit in Feb. Somebody in private has said that Majestic hotel, Bur Dubai is GF. Anybody from forum has any update on that? Hotel standards are OK by Tripadvisor reviews.

Yes, it is GF, but you need to book online room for 2 people and register visitor ID in reception. Some hotels have reservations about letting in African girls though. So can't confirm about African.

Four Points Sheraton Bank street is red now checked 2 nights back. New policy has taken into effect from last 2 weeks where in the guest name shall be provided during check in else it's RED. When I checked last week it was super green and no problem in bringing someone quite late if take taken and off we are to fun. But not anymore. Dubai is getting tough day by day. Fellow mongers please correct or update me if I am wrong. As for the time being its RED.

There are 2 FP's in that area. The one on Khalid bin Waleed street has always been green for me. The one on Mankhool was pretty much always red. Which one are you referring to exactly?

[Wicked Roger]

In Saudi? You've got big balls my friend!

The girls say that Bizzie LOL (and other nice things also!

Westin was great for the lift and car routine as the lifts went straight to the room and no one seemed to care.

They already have you on video.

Very good advice Bizzie and one I use all over the world if possible, even in Saudi where some hotels had an underground car park and no one stopped me or my lady.

A few hotels have a separate side / rear entrance for the apartments / residence / parking in that building. I always use those to avoid the lobby. Look for it an tell the taxi drover to drop you off there.

-Fairmont, SZR.

-Sheraton Grand, SZR.

-Hilton, Creek.

-LE meridian by the airport.

And always book for 2 guests since it usually the same rate, but even if its a bit more.
