Stayed there over the weekend. The Platinum upgrade to a Corner Suite with Burj Khalifa view. The Corner Suite was a very large room. The service was excellent overall.We even received turndown service, something I experienced as a foreign concept in the St. Regis Abu Dhabi and the Edition over there. The Executive Lounge was also very good with a good selection of food of high quality, supplemented by red and white wine, some liquor and of course beer.
Downsides were that the air condition of the room was quite loud, and that the toilet room didn't have ventillation.
The breakfast in Bhar! was a major disappointment and not adequate for a hotel which claims to be in the five star range. The omelette was a joke, and when I asked for a shakshouka the cook said "it's over there" pointing to a dry and pathetic thing which was anything but... Frankly this is not the response I expect to hear in a hotel which claims to be five star. The rest of the cold and hot items where also nothing to write home about.

In summary it is not a hotel I would eagerly return to.
