"Positioned along Dubai Creek in a revived 'new' old neighborhood, this waterfront hotel blends traditional architectural touches—wind towers, wooden beams—and vintage decor with modern construction; its 190 airy rooms are spread across small bait-style buildings and are filled with nostalgic trinkets. Rooftop lounges piled with carpets and cushions invite relaxation, and the pedestrian-friendly creekside setting places cafés, restaurants, and souvenir shops within easy walking distance." - Nicola Chilton
