ABBEY: Swissotel Al-Ghurair became our home during our 7-day stay in Dubai. The staffs warmly welcomed us and really attended to our needs; like supplying us with bottles of water, vanity kits, and shower gel upon request. The bed is soft and comfortable as well as the pillows. What I liked the most is the shower. It feels like rain giving me a nice soft massage. It refreshed me after each working day at Gitex. We also have Nespresso machine.
Our buffet breakfast is at Liwan (3rd floor). I indulged in their omelettes and sunny side up, pineapple fried rice, stir fry noodles, cheese za’atar, cold cuts, turkey bacon, sausage, juice and coffee.
We visited the gym only once due to time constraints. But it has lots of equipments like cable and smith machines, free weights, barbell, kettle ball, treadmills, and resistant bands.
We also made our Desert Safari tour at Swissotel for 230AED per person.
There’s only one incident that I was asked if they can scan Wilma’s ID. I told the security that she was my wife. Then they apologized. I don’t know what is that for but it left us puzzled.
WILL: First of all, again thanks to NEM for this wonderful trip. Hehe. And to Ms Lourdes Bermudo of Gulf Rain Travel and Tourism who applied for our visas, arranged our plane and the Swissotel Hotel booking. Lourdes extraordinarily phoned the reception and requested to give us a good view. Naks! Service to the max!

So what about the Swissotel? The room is fine. There’s a bathroom/bathtub and still the questionable for me and Abbey is the the two different toilet bowls. This is the second time we saw this kind.
The white sheets smell and feel clean, but the color gold cover at the bottom of the bed have a numerous stains. The towels as instructed was changed regularly and the room service is excellent.
Breakfast buffet is simple. For our stay of 7-days, I do not see something that is worthy for a second plate.
All in all, we felt home at Swissotel. Thanks Swissotel for accommodating the NEM team during GITEX event.
