Mapping Dubai’s Best Hotels - The facilities/amenities that can be Expected
From hotels with nice pools to hotels with gorgeous views and proximity to the best tourist landmarks, shopping and retail avenues, business districts, transportation hubs and recreational outlets or even the best amenities, there are several criteria characterizing Dubai’s best hotels. What are the amenities that you essentially look for when you are choosing a luxury hotel in the Emirate of Dubai? These can be grouped under several heads. The first one is quite obviously food and beverages. Fastidious luxury travelers or true connoisseurs will automatically expect quality food and beverage offerings in the form of premier signature restaurants, cafes and bars/lounges for recreation/entertainment. Additionally, the second major head is fitness and recreational facilities. These should ideally comprise of a gymnasium, swimming pool and spa/wellness facilities.
The best hotels in Dubai are also expected to offer top-notch customer service round the clock along with offering facilities for business travellers and corporate guests as well. People also expect some facilities to keep their children entertained while they relax or get some work done. Lastly, connectivity is the all-important head, i.e. people want to be in close proximity to the airport and other major transit points along with places of business/recreation, major tourist landmarks, shopping destinations, etc. From this perspective, a hotel like Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay could be a case in point. It is situated just 25 minutes away from the Dubai International Airport and lies in close proximity to major commercial districts and the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa (both lie within a 5-minute radius from the hotel).
The Gulf Court Hotel has signature global cuisines on offer across 6 food and beverage offerings including Al Waha Restaurant, Café Delices, The Canal Lounge, Naisa Oriental Restaurant, Sports On 4 and The Other Office Karaoke which has private karaoke rooms. Along with the bars, lounges and restaurants, there are 5 meeting rooms with top-class audio-visual technology for conducting business along with a dedicated team for banquets. There is the Club Lounge on the 5th floor, looking onto the Dubai Water Canal with two big flat screens, exclusive food and beverages and an open bar. 270 rooms are on offer along with facilities like the health and recreational club (comprising of a gymnasium, sauna and steam room, swimming pool and Jacuzzi), membership program for usage of these facilities, VIP Kids Crew for entertaining children during their stay and the Socrates beauty lounge and spa. These are the amenities that are expected by luxury travelers at the finest hotels in Dubai.
