This year I'll be at the Hilton Dubai Creek for a week in the holy month. Will I be able to get a beer in the executive lounge?
And the answer is NO

And nor will you get breakfast in the lounge, but rather in the small, over-crowded breakfast cafe.


The hotel is nice enough. Dated rather than old: black and chrome theme throughout. It's small in terms or room numbers, but has 14 floors - so providing only two, small capacity lifts wasn't a smart move.

As usual, executive rooms are no different to lesser rooms, simply on higher floors. The lounge doesn't impress, but does its job.

HGI is a better value option.
