It's a fantastic hotel though and people are willing to pay it. I've done so a few times and thought it was well worth it -- particularly during covid to be able to de-mask in peace, etc. The pool is great, the spa is actually great too, and it's just so darn convenient. Plus it's not hard to bounce over to Al-Mourjan to eat and then come back. I booked the executive suite once and got random-upgraded to the presidential.
