Comments: Generally I really liked the hotel, but this "upgrade" was underwhelming. Several suite types were available. This room is not in any way different than a standard room, just in the same tower as the lounge (that is useful) and on a high floor. Mine was on the 59th floor, but in a place which must be the worst possible view from so high up - just a few buildings (plus a slight Burj Khalifa side view), and not even in a "nice skyline" sense. From the lounge (which is more than 20 floors lower) there were far better views in almost all directions.

Comments: I have had upgrades to several different room types here, but never this one. I like it, particularly for a single traveller. No internal separation with doors, but a large TV/wardrobe combination between bed and sitting area, plus a separate corner (walls on three sides) with a large desk and office-style storage space.
