All of the following included in our room rate: we were picked up at the airport by a chauffer, handed lemon grass scented towels while being driven to the hotel 30 min away. Stayed in a club fl room which was quite & had a view of the ocean. Very modern .Lovely little pastries left for us by our butler every evening. Breakfast was either a small buffet in the club lounge (44 fl) or on 2nd floor where there was an amazing selection of everything you could imagine. The club lounge had great afternoon tea, snacks, drinks on 44 fl. This perk is only available to guest staying in a club room .Shuttles to the beach 5 mins away or to the malls. When time to go back to the airport was chauffer driven .Over all experience, outstanding, food, service, and attention to detail. One of the very best hotel stays I have ever had any where in the world!

This is a property with high standards in every aspect and it is no surprise that it is a favourite with business travelers. It is well located, on the Marina.

The public areas are large but not spectacular.

However, as far as service is concerned, this hotel is genuine luxury all the way. The service is high quality, efficient and responsive but is amazingly unobstrusive - you never even spot any housekeeping staff! Tolietries are Bulgari. The beds are among the best you'll come across in any hotel and you're assured of restful sleep.

Each evening a platter of treats (good stuff, gets better each day) is left in your room.

My room overlooked The Palm, Jumeirah and the view was breathtaking.

Rooms aren't very large but are well appointed. F & B is also excellent. And, of course, the star outlet of the hotel - the Buddha Bar - rocks!

The low point is the quality of concierge services. The desk is blissfully unfamiliar with Dubai hotspots and will direct you to most ordinary and unpopular restaurants and clubs.

Overall, top marks for service, food and quiet efficiency. I would definitely return if I was staying in the Marina area again.

I'm in the hospitality business and I just wish I could take my staff from the US there to show them how a REAL Hotel get's thing right.From the minute they picked us up in the BMW 750il at the airport until they showed us right to our room it was a charm.
This hotel was rated 5 Star on the internet....I assure you the person who gave the Stars never stayed there.It would be considered 6-7 Stars in the States.
We've stayed at The Wynn in Vegas 5 times and I work for the company that owns 6 properties in Vegas and all I can say is Mr. Wynn should take a trip there.The staff would never point out the direction where to go they would take the time and effort to show you exactly how to get to your destination.
Restaurants very incredible.Drinks were a little expences but I knew that going into the country.
Dubai was Great....and my wife and myself would return to this hotel and no other when we return.

We stayed at the GH for one night while in Dubai. We spent most of the week staying with family in the Marina area but wanted to experience a beautiful Dubai hotel before leaving. 99% of our experience was fabulous.

-Excellent service from the staff
-Beautiful decor everywhere
-Spacious rooms
-Wonderful beach at the Royal Meridien
-FANTASTIC breakfast buffet at the mezz. restaurant
-Very accomodating - our flight out wasn't until after midnight so they stored our luggage and then let us use the spa to change / refresh before going to the airport
-Airport transfer included with club room - nice BMW 7 series

We booked a club room, and other than feeling that it's not worth the extra money, everything else was great. We felt that the airport transfer and breakfast made the club room more worth it, but we were terribly underwhelmed by the club lounge. Especially since the champagne and canapes were only offered for a short period of time when it was open (rather than the whole time in the evening), so we just couldn't get there. I think next time I would just book a regular room.

So, all-in-all it's a beautiful hotel with excellent service.
