Conrad Dubai vs Hilton Doha
Just had a couple of nights in the previously magnificent Conrad, Dubai, where I was singularily non plussed.
Stayed there 4 times now, and got better treatment / upgrades as a Gold than I did this time as a diamond. No, and I mean NO recognition as a regular traveller with the exception of the scripted, thank you for your loyalty speech at check in. From start to finish, it wasn't in any way bad, just "meh".
Swapped to Doha, into the Hilton here, and things couldn't be more different, everyone cares, everyone makes an effort, and it is by far a nicer experience.
Conrad lost the edge ? Am I so insignificant as a diamond amongst the Uber wealthy of Dubai, and ignored as a result.
