Insider’s Tip: While the hotel grounds can be captivating, make sure to make the most of the hotel’s enviable location. Situated in Old Dubai and minutes from infamous modern attractions, you can experience Dubai in a truly unique and all-encompassing way. Those craving history and culture can take a short creek stroll to Dubai’s Grand Mosque, visit historical art districts like Al Fahidi and Bastakiya, and wander the colorful gold and spice markets which are just a walk away. We recommend taking a traditional abra to go to the other side of the creek and explore the charming Al Seef – a spectacular experience of old world-architecture with modern comforts.
