Yes, that’s just Block One and Two.
Water in the rooms appears to have switched from house brand to Evian in glass bottles. Would imagine a push upmarket is very likely after the renovations are finished, which makes some sense since this hotel has one of the most marketable settings in Dubai (arguably
the best other than the Jumeirah beach hotels).
