Dubai - Hotel Information

Hi fellow mongers,

First post for me although I have been reading the forum for quite a few years and have benefited from the info on this forum. Nothing new to report just now but will be heading back to the desert in the next couple of months and will surely share my experiences (now that I have popped my cherry).

For now, for my upcoming trip, I was looking to book Shangri-La on SZR as this is where I have stayed previously and I know it has been totally green, however the price of this hotel does not match the high end decor (a little dated now) you would expect from a 5* hotel. Would appreciate if anyone could suggest a better standard, green hotel for roughly the same price.

On that price range this time of year you can get a one bed suite at Double Tree M square. Really good hotel and green. If you want to save money then the standard king room would do too at that hotel. Others may have better suggestions.

Hi All, anyone stayed at Mercure Barsaha. I am planning a trip and my usual hotel M Square is very expensive at that time (specially for apartments). Booked Mercure from reading blacktea report. But mixed reviews on trip advisor re cleanliness and quality. I gathered the suites are probably more modern and better than apartments. But if anyone had any experience of the place let me know. I was tempted by what blacktea called (harbour sharks) but don't want to compromise on hotel quality.

Also I assume the place is green?

Got 2 weeks free which means incoming reports of my 'first experience' doing this. Can anyone recommend 5 star hotels in JBR / MARINA / Downtown with WG that are in the hotel / lobby itself? Looking for easy access, sky is the limit with the budget.

Thanks allZ.

When I going to Dubai, my first choice of hotel in dubai is Canopy & Double tree M Square (Hotel, not apartment).

Couple year ago Canopy won't check and ask WG have to register when visit your room, even I pick WG together to hotel.

But last year one of escort visit my room, hotel front desk call me she have to going to register at the hotel front desk.

But I didn't pay any extra charges even she visit to me.

The better thing is Canopy next to Dubai creek, up stair have one lounge with beautiful Dubai creek view and swimming pool, you can drink something alcohol before or walk along the creek if you want.

Breakfast not that much choice than double tree M square.

HI fellow hobbyist!

I stay often in marina area after Burj closed down which was my fav spot,. ,and I was a bit weary of Bur dubai Diera area did that done that,hihi!

Now would anyone know if these hotels are green in marina area and if it is well worth the stay for WG in this area as in bar or spa on sites?

I have stayed at Wydham green, Media one green, many walking opportunities here in spas as well as Wg on marina walk.

If anyone has other well situated hotels in marina please let me know".

Thanks mates!

Hello,

Thank you very much to all for all the useful information in this forum. I will be in Dubai next week for the first time, and I would like to visit York Club (never visited before) and Premiere maybe. Could you suggest a 5 star green hotel not too far from York? I had a look at Raffles Hotel that seems very good, does anyone know if it is green? I also noticed that Premier club is 1000 AED for 2 people on Hyatt website (so I think 500 for one person). Has anyone visited Premiere in the last months and can confirm this? Many thanks!

Raffles is green.

But the rRaffles I know is far from York and very isolated, unless I am mistaken here?

[QUOTE=Kokoss1;2853872]But the rRaffles I know is far from York and very isolated, unless I am mistaken here?[/QUOTE]Yes, you are right, is far away to York.

I wouldn't walk it, but its no more than a 10 -15 minute drive in the evening.
