Grand Suite City View

The Grand Suite is the first grade where the bedroom closes. You come in to a living room with a round dining table for 4 in it, sofas and armchairs round a marble table, a television on a panelled wall and a silver console under it. The bedroom is through a pair of doors and can be shut properly, which sounds obvious and is not true of the Junior Suite below it. In it are a super king with Versace linen, a dressing area with a walk-in wardrobe and a Hollywood vanity, and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub as well as a walk-in shower — the first grade here to have one.

This is the city-facing half of the pair, and there are 8 of them against 26 on the Creek side, which is worth knowing if your dates are tight. What you look at is the Jaddaf Waterfront and the towers standing up behind it: a busier picture than the water, and a more obviously Dubai one. Everything the suites include comes with it — butler, ORO Lounge, spa credit, welcome bottle, and transfers on 3 nights or more.
