How Bizarre. WG-friendly hotels. Rule of Thumb
As a bizarre rule of thumb, most Dubai Hotels with well-known WG clubs (e. G. Regal, York, etc) are 100% not WG-friendly for hotel rooms. I have no idea why. Maybe a senior member can explain why.
An exception: Panorama Hotel Bur Dubai is WG-friendly. (Jockeys bar on Ground floor. Good for daytime and evenings, plus most of the WGs have a room nearby) and a sports bar on first floor that has never been reviewed on ISG as far as I know. A member should check it out. Maybe my member.
Another exception: Karama Hotel in (guess where) Karama. (Almost in Bur Dubai) Filipina WG and semi-WG hotspot, with a few African WGs for those who prefer stronger coffee.
Which reminds me: President Hotel near Karama Hotel has a few bars and clubs (African, Indian, CIS).
