It really is annoying that hotels in places like DXB, where huge numbers of flights leave in the wee hours, don't gear up for this. (Except the Airport hotel where you buy 6-hour periods.)
Most of the flyers out of South Asia are in a similar bind. The ridiculous part is that most of the "arriving" guests don't come in until the wee hours either and if the hotel staffed just a bit more late at night, they could easily accomodate guests in such a manner.
