Modern Arabian hospitality will be experienced throughout your stay, from our signature welcome Arabic coffee service upon check-in to the hotel's design, built using traditional Middle Eastern building techniques. For eat-like-a-local foodies our menus are packed full of seasonal, local produce from seafood to Arabic Meshawi as well as international cuisine cooked to perfection at Sabaa restaurant, open for breakfast and dinner. Order your food from your room and we’ll even deliver your Emirati-inspired delicacies in authentic picnic baskets.

Beautiful hotel in old Dubai, along Dubai's creek. Gorgeous Al Seef market, recreating what historical Dubai looked like. The hotel is rustic, with special retro details, beautifully decorated. Staff are warm, friendly and very helpful. ...

We were on short stopover. The hotel has several small buildings in traditional Dubai feel, and this was well appreciated. Room also in traditional style. Front staff were excellent, especially Laxmi who helped us navigate various local arrangements.
