But as we are travelling with a couple of families I am wondering if there is an alternative venue at the hotel that we can all enjoy together and that will supply drinks and canapes.

As part of a number of different requests, they responded as follows:
"Please be informed we can provide an early check-in as a subject to availability, it can be confirmed by our Front Office colleagues upon your arrival; as a Gold HHonors you are entitled for a space available room upgrade to the next room category, we well-noted your preference for a King-Size bed and the Corner Room, you will as well be entitled to enjoy the Executive Lounge access during your stay with us."
And on my stay last night, I was again provided lounge access without asking, on a Points and Money reward.

I recently stayed at this property. What a great hotel! New and very grand hotel with a huge impressive lobby. I had a big corner room and it was well maintained/equiped; I hardly noticed any wear and tear. Huge bathroom. There is a big pool with many sunbeds on 6th floor + a nice gym too. Rates are quite high - even for Dubai.
The hotel is next to a the Metro station (World Trade Center St.) which makes it very easy to connect to the airport (18 minutes only to terminal 1) and other parts in Dubai. In general, a taxi in Dubai is cheap though.
As HH Gold I was upgraded to a room on a high floor with executive lounge access (EL is on 24th floor). The staff in the lounge was great; great service. Alcohol and various hot dishes (canapeers) are served from 6PM to 8PM.
I had breakfast in the restaurant on the 6th floor. A very impressive and extensive buffet with many different hot dishes, eggs cooked to order etc. As my rate included breakfast I do not know if HH Golds or Diamonds can have breakfast in the restaurant as part of their HHonors benefits if upgraded to a room with execute lounge access.
Late check-out until 3PM was granted without problems.

Second this is a great hotel with a convenient location right next to the Metro. Late check-out was provided for us as well.

Stayed this week for 4 nights, upgraded to a King Deluxe suite from cheapest room. Being Ramadan the hotel is nowhere near full. Great little Bose sound system in room, everything still looks new in this circa 2 year old hotel.
Great property, attentive staff, will use again with no hesitation. No alcohol in lounge or anywhere else in the hotel before 8pm, so if you want food / booze use room service and your mini bar. The Marco Pierre White grill is closed until end of Ramadan.
The cave is a good spot for late night snacks / drinks and was pleasantly surprised with choice / prices.
Plenty of meeting rooms, service here though was a bit spotty.

I was surprised they didn't leave one in the room. was told you needed to purchase them.
I stayed for one night on a layover and was very impressed. I booked a cheap rate and was upgraded to the Conrad Suite as a HHD. I stopped in the lounge for breakfast, but ended up eating downstairs.
Would definitely be a property i will check out again.

View from Hotel
I'm currently reserved in a Sea View room that is noted to also have a Sheikh Zayed Road view. I also noticed a Skyline room option.
Can any experienced travelers let me know their thoughts on the preferred room view plane? I assume the sea view is preferred for the view, but how about noise as an issue?
Many thanks!

Noise not an issue at that sort of height.
Sea view is not actually that nice, as it's not a resort beach type of scenery - you're not missing out much vs. SZR view. And anyway the Club Lounge has the sea view where you can look.
Haven't stayed at a skyline view but if it looks directly onto SZR that might in fact be the best view.
