Advice with Dubai Hotel and transit to Abu Dhabi
 

Hello Flyertalkers!

I am excited to be making my first trip to Dubai and need some help planning out hotel stays.

We have 2 free nights at any of the Holiday Inn properties, including Intercontinentals. We have 1 free night at any Hyatt property.

We arrive into Abu Dhabi at 7:25 PM on March 13th, will be taking the Etihad Free Shuttle to Dubai and arrive late. Then we will be leaving Dubai early in the morning on 3/16, to catch the shuttle back to Abu Dhabi.

So, which Hyatt would you pick and which Holiday Inn, and in which order. We are 100% sightseers, not looking to party or go to the beach. So, closeness to sights or ease of access to Metro stations are pluses.

Thanks in advance, for any help or insights offered.

Hi there. The IC is a little out of the way (not a lot, but a little). I think your best Holiday Inn would be in Al Barsha which is very close to a metro station and major sites. As for a Hyatt I can recommend the Park Hyatt if you would like a romantic resort.
