What 
Dubai’s  hotels  lack 
in subtlety,  they  make 
up  for with  marble 
fittings,  gold-leaf  fixtures 
and  other nouveaux  riches 
trappings.  The city’s  landmark 
hotels  can  be 
wildly  imaginative,  with a vast 
sense  of  scale. 
Business  hotels  are either 
on the  Creek  or on the main  business 
roads (Sheikh  Zayed  Road, 
Creek  Road  (Deira 
side),  Bank  Street 
and Umm  Suqeim  Beach Road.) 
The resorts on Beach Road 
are  convenient for Dubai  Media and 
Internet  City.  Note 
that  finding  anything 
decent  with  fewer 
than  four  stars 
can  be a  problem. 
Prostitution  is  rife in 
certain  hotels.  During 
the height  of the  tourist 
season  (November  to 
April),  hotel  vacancies 
are  scarce.  In summer 
(mid-May  to  mid –September),  rates 
drop by up to  half.
BURJ  AL  ARAB  
 The Burj  Al 
Arab  is Dubai’s  most 
famous  landmark.  The minimalist  white 
structure,  which  resembles 
a billowing  sail,  stands 
on  its  own 
island 280 meters  offshore.  No-one is 
saying how  much  it cost to 
build,  but  most 
hoteliers in Dubai  are  convinced 
it  will  never make 
money rather,  it  pays 
for  itself  by 
creating  a potent  marketing 
symbol  for Dubai.  This 
public  relations  strategy 
has,  however,  begun 
inauspiciously:   in  Dubai 
the  hotel  is 
affectionately  known  as the 
“giant  cockroach”,  thanks 
to its  shell-like  exterior. 
  If   you  like 
golden  fountains,  mirrors on ceilings,  fawning 
staff  and an ooze of opulence,  you 
will  be in your  element 
here.  Guests are met  at the airport  and 
chauffeured  to the hotel  in  a
white  Rolls  Royce, 
then  whisked  to 
their  rooms  by  a white
gloved,  personal  butler 
who  remains  on call 
24  hours  a day. 
Adding  yet  more 
drama,  the  escalators 
are  flanked  by 
two  gigantic  fish 
tanks.  Don’t  be 
surprised to  see  scuba 
divers  inside  cleaning 
the  glass.    Some 
guests  may  feel 
a  bit  cut 
off  at the  Burj. 
In the  hushed  lobby, 
staff  tiptoe  about, 
and  gawking  tourists must 
pay  an  entrance 
fee just  to  step 
inside.  There is  no  beach
though the staff  can  drive 
you to the nearby  Jumeirah  Beach 
Resort  in a   golf 
cart.  Not  everyone 
will  want to stay  at 
this  kind  of hotel, 
but it is an interesting place to 
visit.  The   view 
from  the Al  Muntaha 
restaurant  on the  top 
floor is one  of the best you
will  get in Dubai,  with  food  to 
match.  Most  of 
Dubai’s  buffets  offer 
mass-produced  food  that 
has  been  congealing 
in  hotplates for hours in end.   At 
the  Burj,  think 
pan-fried  foe  grass, 
seven  different  types 
of  caviar,  and Kobe 
beef  carved  at 
your  table.  Not 
bad for Dhs300(&80) 
without  wine.
THE 
RITZ-CARLTON  DUBAI 
Arguable 
Dubai’s  best-loved  hotel, 
the  Ritz-Carlton  flies 
in the face  of the  city’s 
hospitality  norms.  While 
most hoteliers  here  wage an 
endless  war  to build 
the  biggest,  brashest 
properties  imaginable,  this hotel 
is subtle  and understated,  With 
just 138  rooms , a  friendly 
and knowledgeable staff, 
afternoon  tea  and butler 
service,  it has a charm  and 
intimacy  that  would 
befuddle  its more  celebrated 
rivals.  Instead  of 
hiring  as  many 
cheap  Asian  staff 
as  budgets  will 
stretch  to,  training 
them  in  basic 
English  and  putting 
them on  a  crash 
course  in emptying  ashtrays, 
the  Ritz- Carlton  employs at 
least a handful  of  staff with whom you can  have 
an  instructive conversation about
food and drink. The  hotel’s  sommelier, for example,  keeps 
a fine cellar, which  he is happy to
discuss at  length, particularly  when 
hosting a regular  wine-tasting
evening. The  hotel  also boasts the  prettiest 
gardens on Jumeirah  beach.
