Hidden amongst the rooftops and courtyards of the area’s bustling souks, the hotel is spread across 10 Bayts (traditional Arabian homes) that combine traditional, artisan design with contemporary service and comfort. Modern Arabian hospitality will be experienced throughout your stay, from our signature welcome Arabic coffee service upon check-in to the hotel's design, built using traditional Middle Eastern building techniques. For eat-like-a-local foodies our menus are packed full of seasonal, local produce from seafood to Arabic Meshawi as well as international cuisine cooked to perfection at Sabaa restaurant, open for breakfast and dinner. Order your food from your room and we’ll even deliver your Emirati-inspired delicacies in authentic picnic baskets. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and room service, along with free WiFi. The property is non-smoking. All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a fridge, a kettle, a bidet, a hair dryer and a desk. At the hotel the rooms come with a private bathroom.
