Al Bandar Rotana is a striking, ultra-modern hotel with a prime waterside location in the city’s original heartland. Ideal for business and leisure travelers, the elegant five-star property, which sits on the edge of Dubai Creek is close to several attractions including the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, Dubai Dolphinarium at Creek Park and the new Rise Dubai Creek Harbor development — an entertainment center that plays host to live music, DJ sets, movie screenings and unusual casual dining concepts. All 190 rooms and suites offer stunning city or creek views, are stylishly furnished and feature the latest in-room amenities and technology. Options range from spacious standard rooms to palatial suites, so whether you are traveling alone or with family, you will feel at home in this creekside haven. Club Rotana rooms and suites are available too, offering added benefits, from lounge access to personalized services. The five dining venues introduce new gastronomic experiences to Dubai Creek, from Morgan’s gastropub, the only gastropub concept in the area, to Gusto Italian Restaurant, serving seasonal authentic food. Guests can also experience a culinary feast at all-day international dining restaurant Salt & Pepper, enjoy a hot drink or snack in the stylish Vanilla Lobby Lounge, head to The Deck Pool Lounge to dine al fresco, or choose from the vast in-room dining menu. The Club Rotana Lounge also serves beverages and light meals. All outlets each have a stunning terrace overlooking Dubai Creek and Dubai’s spectacular skyline. Keep your body and mind in good shape at Bodylines Fitness & Wellness Club where modern facilities include a contemporary gym with cardiovascular and free-weight training areas, an outdoor swimming pool and sauna, steam and massage rooms. Six meeting rooms with natural daylight offer business executives the latest technology and audio visual equipment ensuring events run without a hitch. Al Rotana Bandar is minutes by road from Dubai International Airport, Dubai World Trade Center and major malls and souks. Dubai’s Diplomatic District, home to major embassies, is also close to the hotel.
