[QUOTE=DFWdude;2153728]I will be in Dubai for my first ever trip next month. Staying at the Shangri La Hotel. Is it red or green? Any other tips for finding company while in Dubai?[/QUOTE]Hi mate. I stayed there for 3 nights last week. Whilst I didn't get up to anything, I saw at the desk one night a very obvious WG discussing with the front desk where to go and showing them ID etc. Looked green to me. I'the suggest you give them a call and ask what their policy is on hotel guests.
[QUOTE=Snow1998;2198046]Extract of email response a friend of mine got today.
Greetings from Hilton Dubai Reservations!
Thank you for your gold loyalty and choosing Hilton Hotels & Resorts as your hospitality service provider! Please be advised that original marriage certificate will be required upon check in if you are going to share the room with opposite gender member due to only married couples can stay in the same room as per UAE labor law.
Should you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.[/QUOTE]Hi guys, I'm back in Dubai this weekend and staying at HDC. Hit me up if you're around and want to hang.
I response to the above, I called HDC last night. Still green from what they told me. No chanhe to their guest policy. Their night manager has moved on to a new property, but that shouldn't matter. I'll report back on Thursday night if there's a problem. Otherwise if I don't report back, assume it's still green.
Hi all. Back in Dubai this weekend for 3 nights and staying at HDC. There's a few reasons I like HDC:
Pros.
1) big brand hotel to collect points.
2) high quality furnishings.
3) located in Deira with creek views (not amazing but better than boring city views).
4) they have JACUZZI rooms! As in, a jacuzzi in your private bathroom. (Only some rooms).
5) nicely located near to Kubu, Moscow, Broadway and very close to Premiere, Hues, etc. And also not far from Ratsky, York and Regal etc.
Cons.
1) quite a boring business hotel. High quality but nothing glam about this place. Women aren't often wowed.
2) breakfast isn't always included.
3) slightly random location not near to any shops or restaurants worth mentioning.
4) yes they have a back entrance but no you can't bypass reception - 100% of the time I enter through the back and 100% of the time I have to still check her in at front desk.
Jacuzzi rooms.
There's probably far better upscale properties around that are green with ID, have wow factor and are better located. BUT the jacuzzi rooms are literally a dealbreaker for me. Having a 2-person jacuzzi in your bathroom is a massive wow factor. And whenever I've stayed there over the past 3 years, every single WG except one stuck up Viet, has jumped in with me and had a great time in the bubbles.
Hygiene is important to me, so being in the jacuzzi means you can both guarantee you're each clean. Feet, genitalia, whatever.
So I find I'm usually more likely to get a BBBJ, and am more likely to want to go down on her as she's clean and fresh. Sure you can shower together in other hotels but a private jacuzzi is a lot of fun.
Yes the rooms cost more but I'm happy with that. Question I have is this. Have any of you stayed at any other property (anywhere in Dubai) that has a 2 man hot tub / jacuzzi in-room, but has a little more wow factor than HdC? Maybe near the palm or with beach views etc?
Cheers.

I'm advising my friend who will be glad to know this. BTW he is not a monger travels with his girlfriend.
[QUOTE=Vitrea;2199843]I searched and I did not find any info.
I just have one night (long layover) and I am planning on staying at JW Marriott or the Marriott apartments in Diera. Anyone know if they are green or Red? Thank you kindly. I will be bringing more than one visitor between 10 PM and 4 am. Ha Ha. Can't risk a Red hotel.[/QUOTE]Both JW Marriott Deira and Marquee are 100% red either the lady checks in with you at reception or at least sends you her ID before you check in or you are out of luck. I used to love both of these hotels until they became red. Also with JW Deira there is a back door in the connection to the small mall area and you may think you are safe by bringing your date through there but no luck as soon as you get to the room they will call you and tell you your guest has to leave or both of you have to leave. That one costed me AED 600 the last time I was there.
Happy hunting.
[QUOTE=Snow1998;2202705]Thank you for this update. I'm advising my friend who will be glad to know this. BTW he is not a monger travels with his girlfriend.[/QUOTE]I can confirm that HDC is green with ID. Change of duty manager but policy remains the same same friendly staff. I had a great Filipino takeaway on Thursday night, no problems checking in at the desk with ID. I had single occupancy as well (accidentally) but I flagged this on checking in and they said guest with ID is cool.
I know this thread talks about Hotel rooms, but I was just curious. Has anyone tried booking Air BnB? I think there won't be any kind of problem as the property is taken up independently. Or book a room from, say [URL]dubizzle.com[/URL] for a Week or so. Has anyone tried it?
Cheers!!
I am quite loyal to Hyatt hotels and I was wondering which of them are actually Green and which are Red. I am asking that since by reading through the older messages, there is a need of updated status because hotels seems to change their policy from time to time.
Here is a list of Hyatt hotels available in Dubai:
Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights.
Grand Hyatt Dubai.
Park Hyatt Dubai.
Hyatt Regency Dubai.
Four options I am considering for my upcoming stay in Dubai and help from experienced mongers is highly appreciated, thanks!
By going through all the previous posts, I can't really be sure which Hyatt hotels are still green. And since I'm a big fan of Hyatt hotels, I am considering staying at one of the following Hyatt hotels:
Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights.
Grand Hyatt Dubai.
Park Hyatt Dubai.
Hyatt Regency Dubai.
Please help me out by telling me which Hyatt I can book to be on the safe green side! Many thanks!
I can confirm this hotel is Green.
Girl came in without me, they asked her, the front desk called me asking if I was expecting a guest, I said yes, less than 5 minutes later she was knocking on my door.

And therefore it may be easier and wiser to book one of the many "green" hotels that have been mentioned multiple times in this forum.
For the help that I have given you, I only ask that you contribute a field report when you have mongered and returned to your home country. I ask this for your benefit, because ISG members that ask many questions and beg for contact information in forums are usually ignored by Senior Members like myself.
[QUOTE=AmRev2017;2203694]I know this thread talks about Hotel rooms, but I was just curious. Has anyone tried booking Air BnB?[/QUOTE]Since about 2 years now, Air BnB offerings are now sort-of-controlled here. So, at the very least, reliable hosts will almost always require a copy of passport of all guests after an Air BnB booking is confirmed. Not sure if this is an important consideration for you.

Another case where not-so-necessary regulation has started making the water a bit murky. I suppose you should ask the host via an Air BnB message.
I have no information about Dubizzle offers.
