Swissotel Al Ghurair
Clean rooms great location friendly staff. Access to vehicle was a hassle going down two different elevators to get to basement. Room service was a little slow, sometimes had to call several times to get questions answered. I would definitely stay here but recommend staff to have more efficient service ...
