"Hilton Dubai Creek" Hilton Dubai Creek Tip by sue_stone

We loved our hotel in Dubai. As our flights were free (courtesy of a great deal with our AMEX card and BA frequent flyer miles) we decided to spend a bit more than usual on accommodation, opting for the 5 star luxury of the Hilton Dubai Creek. It is not your average Hilton, but a more boutique style hotel, which is located in the central Deira area, by Dubai Creek.

We stayed in one of the 'Executive' rooms, which gave us added benefits such as airport transfers, and access to the Executive Lounge - where there was internet, a constant supply of snacks, and happy hour every evening - all included in our room rate. Our hotel room was excellent - a massive, comfortable bed, big marble bathroom, and views along the Creek.

Unique Qualities: All the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful in an unforced way. There is a small, roof-top pool, where you can relax with a drink or snack and enjoy the views across the city. There is also a health club, though we didn't check it out.

The hotel has two restaurants - the Glasshouse Brasserie (where breakfast is served) and Verre, which is Gordon Ramsay's UAE venture, and pretty good too. There are two bars as well - Issimo Martini Bar and the Carbon Lounge, addition to the pool bar.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at the Hilton Dubai Creek. Our room was huge and had great views of the Creek. Service from all the staff we came into contact with was first class. Had an excellent meal at Verre. Would definitely stay again.
