"On the outskirts of Dubai and across from the Meydan ractrack, this hotel is popular with horse-racing junkies and business travelers in town for a conference. It's impossible to miss out on the action if there's a race going on—all rooms overlook the racetrack and have TV monitors installed in both the bathroom and entryway. The rooms are unsurprisingly high-tech, especially the bathroom where you can control the water temperature and pressure at the touch of a button." - Melinda Healy, Laura Ratliff
