Very close to the superb Jameel Arts Centre, with excellent art exhibitions.
I enjoyed very much my
stay at this property: very convienent location, very friendly staff, very good breakfast and nice rooms. The view from high floor was really great.
The superb Atelier Robuchon (gastronomic experience at a very abordable price considering the high quality of the food and experience) is only 15 minutes walk from the hotel.
I don't know what to say man, maybe as Royal Ambassador you got a better treatment and us lowly Spire Ambassadors don't get anything at this Intercontinental?
Having said that, what did you even like about the pool area, honestly? It looks nothing like the pictures, is disgustingly dirty and we could not find a place to sit there since all chairs were constantly occupied by people from the Crowne Plaza or even from people outside the hotel. The staff were not well trained and this was honestly the worst stay I had in UAE.
