The Standard of Hotels in Dubai
Dubai is known to have one of the best hotels in the world. From Burj
Khalifa, to Burj Al Arab, the Atlantic Hotel, and Marine Dubai. The list of the 5 star hotels in Dubai is huge.This week I decided to do my post on the difference in the hotel experience of Dubai hotel when compared to hotels in Canada. It is not fair as I experienced only a few hotels in Canada but most of those experiences were not very pleasant. As my father worked in the hotel
industry, I was fortunate enough to experience a wide range of different hotel in the Middle East particularly in the U.A.E.
Last November, my family planned a trip to the Niagara falls. We planned to
stay over night so that we can enjoy to the fullest without worrying to drive
all the way back home on the same day. I will not mention the name of the hotel
in which we booked our room but all I can say is that it was a five star hotel.
I was a bit surprised when I entered the room. The decor, furniture and the
theme of the room was very outdated. A prefect example of this is that the room still have tube screen televisions in 2011. Most of the amenities available were all
to pay for. They did not have proper room services. Only Breakfast menu was served.
They had a food chain franchise that was opened in the lobby of the hotel which
served lunch and dinner.

This room is of the Al Bustan Rotana hotel. This is a five star hotel but not very popular or famous. I know that everyone can not afford a room in Burj Al Arab hotel but Al Bustan Rontana offer great deal that is affordable.
This is Fairmount Dubai. It is an old hotel but as you see in the picture, the interior and decor of the room look very new and classy.
Atlantic Hotel is the latest addition to the luxury list of hotel in Dubai. Atlantic Dubai is a world of its own and would require a separate blog posting to cover the wide range of hotel services.
