Can somebody explain to me why the most of the UAE Starwood hotels don't participate in SPG? Ridiculous, I assume the investors thought they're far too high brow for such things, I'm sure they're now crawling back to SPG with the downturn.
This is a great hotel, Buddha Bar is a hang out for the beautiful and does great cocktails and food, Barr 44 is decent though there's better "sky bars" in Dubai but the piece de resistance has to be (Gary) Rhodes Mezzanine restaurant, voted best restaurant in Dubai this year ahead of many a Michelen-starred chef.
That said, Cat 6 seems a bit on the heavy side. As above, get the UAE hotels involved first and then set their expectations properly, will win for everybody.
