3 Days in 'Dhabi.....where to go?
After largely confining my mongering to Dubai, I find myself scheduled to stay in Abu Dhabi in the next couple weeks.
Having scanned this thread (obviously shorter than the Dubai ones) and a few others, I am seeing mixed signals about my reserved hotel (the Millenium, for which I got a surprisingly good rate). Is it red or is it green?
I had stayed before in 2006 at Royal Meridien across from the Millenium and the "in-house" pub (Illusions) is an interesting amenity to say the least, although the CIS gals did not really compare to the ones I'd seen and experienced in DXB.
While I've got the chance to switch, should I consider switching to the Crowne Plaza or Beach Rotana? They're cheaper but probably less nice places. Royal Meridien is more expensive than Millenium right now so I've ruled that out.
Other than Illusions, what would be the "consensus" best place to go, e. G., AD's rough equivalent of the old Cyclone in Dubai? I've been to Ally Pally, and was not really impressed but that was 4 years ago.
Thanks!
