Dubai - Hotel Information

[Snow1998]

Again, Dubai policy does not permit outside guests, it is hotel that must allow it. And they can change it whenever they please. Thats why this thread is so important.

The law before in UAE didn't allow two people of the opposite sex to sleep together in the same room unless married to each other. This law has now been changed and co habitation is allowed under UAE law and doesn't specify nationality has to be the same either. Even before the cohabitation law some hotels still allowed unmarried different nationality couples even and thus the green label. This was then a hotel policy which actually was against the UAE law. There is no 'Dubai policy' not permitting outside guests. The policy / Law is every guest must be registered with a valid ID document. Again some hotels still don't strictly apply this rule.

This thread is important as you stated for knowing which hotels are confirmed green. However that is still not a guarantee. A hotel can change its policy anytime they want. Again its not 'Dubai policy'. I have stayed in Hilton and Marriott properties and never had a visitor or guest refused entry in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. That also doesn't mean it can't happen. Guess its just a long way of trying to say you are wrong about 'Dubai Policy'.

Stay in Moscow Hotel, Deira.

You can get everything there.

Good luck.

Zambind, I agree with Venom, Moscow is the best option if you are staying for one night. You are not leaving anything to chance. We are looking forward to your FR which you promised us many many years ago.

No hotel will say directly that you can bring in guest at later time. It's standard hotel policy.

Not true. You can message hotels directly, through booking.com, and they will tell you. You can also post a question on their main booking.com page and they will tell you.

Example, I was told yes several times (JW Marriot Marquis, Double Tree M Square, Emirates Tower Hotel, Dubai Marriot Harbor), but I still got several no (Intercontinental Dubai festival city, Hilton Jumeriah).

The yes ones will say just bring an ID, the no ones will say "Per Dubai policy, visitors are not allowed."

Always make booking for 2 pax. When you checkin tell them your GF will join you later if they ask. If they ask name, say she will let you know. That's easy peasy. 99% of Dxb hotels are green. So don't worry and have fun.

Not true. A person needs to know for sure and be upfront. Trying to lie to reception about having a GF is just silly (they have cameras everywhere), I have already mentioned two hotels that have outright said no guests are allowed period (Hilton Jumeriah and Intercontinental Festival City). Someone even also reported that JW Marquis told the person they cant bring a girl with a different nationality than him after initially telling him outside guests are ok. (http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?1619-Dubai-Hotel-Information&p=2732789&viewfull=1#post2732789) This is a serious decision that cant be left up to lies, chance, or deception. Before I even board the plane I have a message directly from the hotel saying outside guests are ok. As well as verified confirmation from members here. You pick the wrong hotel and thats thousands of dollar down the drain.

Again, Dubai policy does not permit outside guests, it is hotel that must allow it. And they can change it whenever they please. Thats why this thread is so important.

Try the Double Tree by Hilton M Sqaure Residences: Not the Hotel:

Thank you and yes I will be booking this.

All high end hotels in Dubai are green.

No true. It may be 90%, but its not 100%. And I have provided two examples above of 5 star hotels saying no, and several examples of 5 star hotels saying yes. If you also look back and read the thread, you’ll see several posts about users encountering red hotels they assumed were green.

Tried calling Hilton by Double tree business bay to confirm their guest policy.

They told me that they recommend that I pre-register the guest that I'll be expecting upon check-in. Which I obviously can't do since I don't know who I'll be meeting.

I don't know if that's code for "maybe"?

Anyone know if the hotel is green?

Not sure whether this is an ask if anybody knows if the hotel is green or just arkward for bringing back a girl.

When I first stayed at JW Marquis everything was great and you could walk a girl up no issues as the place was also so busy you never really needed to bothering registering a girl in. Later they had a guy standing at the bottom of the lifts forcing you to sign in. Then later they turned red red red, and you couldn't even sign in a girl. Even worse was you couldn't even bring down a girl from Vault from the top floor (has some nice girls up there).

Anyway not sure if anyone has stayed there lately and knows what the situation is like? Is it green or still red or somewhere in between? It's a shame if red because it's a decent hotel all in all.

I contacted JW Marquis and they said they allow guests with ID. But someone on page 5 said they had a different experience (hotel wouldnt let a guest in of a different nationality), so Im not sure.

I tend to always call the hotel, and be upfront and say I will be staying at the hotel and my girlfriend will be visiting will it be any issue? Sometimes you can get a diff answer and they won't answer things that are arkward sounding like girls coming up sign in etc but you can usually get a fair response back before you confirm and book.

Telling them my girlfriend will be visiting is not upfront. A simple do you allow outside guests is sufficient. They already know what you mean because they get asked it every single day. Telling them your girlfriend is visiting, implies your room needs to be charged as 2 adults staying overnight and not 1 adult with a non-overnight guest, and that you will not have multiple guests you need to sign in during your stay.

I stayed at the hote recently (officially. DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai M Square Hotel & Residences). Here is what I found. There are three types of rooms - 'normal' room, apartment and residence. The rooms are apartments are part of the main hotel. The 'residence' rooms have a separate entrance.

[Thank you for the info, looks very promising and I might book it.

This is a government requirement. If they don't do so they risk hefty penalties. Before on top of that there was a gray area about bringing in non related opposite sex people to your room so it meant loosing business. Now that the new laws have been enacted, here is no lost business so they will enforce it strictly for most of them. Plus, some of them see it at a source of profit and find out that they could charge you a fee each time you have a new visitor. So don't try too hard to sneak in someone, it will bite you back hard.

Also, hotels have cameras. So even if no one is in reception and its late at night, they obviously can see you bringing someone in from the video footage.

The reason I don't ever opt for an average hotel is because it kind off kills the vibe you want something good to go back to and if not fancy but atleast a good 3-4 star room experience for you and the women. It matters man a lot trust me. I've noticed this in the past and made the same mistake when york used to be popping I booked myself at york hotel and ohhh my it was a disaster. I belive I've spoken about that experience in my initial post man.

Make it an interesting vibe like youd treat your girl to.

Good room+great attitude+ to GFE experience mate (unless the lady is a biatch) hahaha.

I see what you mean by this. I've finally decided and confirmed my bookings for my upcoming trip of 12 days starting mid November. Have booked LE meridian conference Centre Club Room (Which will give me chance to explore Jules and and the other clubs near Deira) and Hilton Double tree M square (for clubs around the Bur Dubai and other nearby areas) for 5 days each. For my last 2 days have booked Crowne Plaza festival city due to some business work in the area. Hope these hotels are green. I've decided on them after RTFF and this forum has been great help. Will report back my experience in detail once I've explored the scenes around Dubai. Thanks and appreciate all the help.

Four Points Sheraton (Downtown) in Mankool is also green, but there is a Walk of Shame (WoS) to register. However, there's a basement car park with a lift and you can go straight to your room from there. Security are eagle eyed and will spot this and call you to send someone up to your room to collect passport and return it. That avoids the WoS.

Good to know and thanks for the tip, will be staying there later in November. Don't mind the walk of shame as long as they are not awkward.

Courtyard Marriot Al Barsha is bright green, can go straight up, there's a bar on the top floor, so I guess that helps.

Finally, Sheraton Diera Creek is green, just need to register your visitor, WoS is not too bad. Best to always register for your own safety, you'll get over the WoS. Cheers, SW.

If you guys are close. Not so much that you can have an orgy LOL. Get an Airbnb. Separate rooms for each. Get the girls, drink and party before taking them to the rooms.

Did something similar (although not all guys got girls) with a bunch of 5-6 guys in Bali pre covid. Great memories.

Safe mongering!!

Hello seniors and colleagues, I am a member of India forum and planning to visit Dubai in end November for a friend's bachelor bash. There are 4 of us. Looking for recommendations regarding wether it would be better to book an air bnb or a hotel for mongering activities. Have gone through the reports in this magnificent forum but still confused. TIA.

[Rk237]

I know what you mean man. It's just that I thought it would be less hassle like no wait for taxis etc. It's ground zero for pussies so would give more time exploring the available options. The other options I'm considering is nearby Marriott executive apartments or elements Al jaddaf as getting good corporate rates on both of them. Thanks for your response anyway. I'll keep my options open till I've more information about the property being guest friendly.
