Michael RobinsonOvernight in Dubai
My wife and I will be overnighting in Dubai later this year on our way from Boston to Zambia.
We have never been to Dubai (or Zambia) before.
Any suggestions for a fine hotel in Dubai will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

DCS MemberSounds like a great trip.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with either destination. However, I believe a “fine” hotel in Dubai can sure be had for a “fine” price!
What’s on your hunt agenda?

SaeedMike,
You should ask Emirates.
They have partner hotels all over the city, and I am sure they will find a good deal for you.
If you and your wife would like to come by our house for a drink, you are very welcome.
I do travel quite a bit, but let me know what your flight timetable is.
Best of luck.

Mike O'A few years back I had a very nice three bedroom suite at the Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel. The room was on a high floor overlooking the Palm Jumeriah (the man-made palm tree-shaped island) and the yachts in the marina. The dining room table sat eight, plenty big enough for meetings. At the time, the bar on the top floor had a 35 year old Ardbeg single malt that almost made me forget I was there for business.

Michael RobinsonThrough Emirates, we booked a Diplomatic Suite at a 5 star hotel for a remarkably low rate. There must be too many hotels in Dubai!
Thanks, again, for the recommendation to contact Emirates.
