Same for Saudi Arabia, the Sheraton I stayed in Riyadh back in 2008 had that.
I am staying at Conrad Abu Dhabi in June... it was either 600AED for the cheapest room or 900AED for the cheapest Level 45 room. I splurge all the time with rental cars, especially in Germany (no speed limit, ya know?), but never with hotels and I'm hoping this hotel will be an experience.
I didn't expect an upgrade from the regular room to Level 45 so I went for Level 45 and maybe I'll be upgraded from there as a Diamond? Anybody get that?
