Raffles Dubai – Luxury Accommodation in the Ultimate Tourist City

PLANNING A TRIP TO DUBAI- LEISURE OR BUSINESS? Dubai is the ultimate modern tourist city,

created with the needs and desires of its’ visitors in mind and constructed along stunning 21st century lines, boasting some of the most spectacular architecture on the face of the planet, side by side with traditional Arabic districts and the crystal clear waters of the Persian Gulf. The city boasts an airport which is soon set to become the busiest in the world, some of the planet’s largest shopping malls, an indoor ski slope, massive water parks complete with tanks full of sharks and ancient markets where visitors can haggle over the price of items such as gold, rugs, spices and fresh fruit and vegetables.

WHY DUBAI?

The beauty of Dubai is that it allows the visitor to pick and choose exactly what kind of holiday they wish to enjoy. For some people this will mean sampling the exclusive shopping on offer, whilst others might opt to go on a 4 wheel drive excursion into the spectacular desert which surrounds the city, whilst some may choose to spend the days relaxing on the crystal white sands of one of the many miles of beaches. As long as you’ve got a top hotel return to, anything is possible.

WHERE TO STAY IN DUBAI?

Raffles Dubai is a top luxury hotel in every respect. The architecture of the hotel is iconic in its’ own right, rising like a pyramid with views over the shores of Dubai Creek. All of the 252 rooms have their own balconies, offering sweeping views of the stunning cityscape, and the 5 star accommodation doesn’t stop there. Each room features a HD LED TV, air conditioning, an interactive entertainment system, coffee and tea facilities and an en suite luxury bathroom with bath and walk in shower.

RESTAURANTS AND BAR:

When it comes to dining, guests are simply spoiled for choice and, although Dubai has its’ fair share of top restaurants, they may never feel the need to eat or drink anywhere else. Options include Azur, a restaurant offering Pan Arabic and Asian dishes, Fire and Ice, an upmarket steakhouse, TOMO Japanese restaurant, a bar by the hotels own pool, the sophisticated Crossroads Cocktail bar and the People by Crystal nightclub.

DISCOVER THE CITY: If you want to discover the city which gave

birth to modern Dubai, the city as it used to be in years gone by, then pay a visit to Bastakiya, the market and cultural centre of Dubai. Here you’ll find traditional houses, markets, museums and galleries showing off the work of local artists. Another top tip is to enjoy one of the hotel’s desert trips, which involve driving out in a 4x4 vehicle, feeding camels, riding camels and sand boarding, then, after watching the sun set over the dunes, enjoying a delicious barbecue dinner and a display of belly dancing.

TRANSPORT LINKS :

The hotel is situated just a 15 minute taxi drive from Dubai International Airport, and an alternative means of making the journey is to utilise the Dubai metro system, which stops at the Dubai Healthcare City station, just a two minute walk from the hotel.
