Surely the selection of hotels in Dubai has become very large for tourists. But one is also always looking for a good price/performance ratio. That’s what you’ll find at Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City and you get a lot of performances there. If you choose another location with the same category, you often have to pay more for it. Thus, the Dubai Festival City is still an insider tip in the city. It is a very modern hotel that is recommended not only for tourists but also for business travelers. Right next to it is the InterContinental Dubai Festival City, which is also very beautiful.
It is a very large hotel with many rooms. Normally the deluxe rooms are sufficient for a holiday in Dubai. These have a size of 34 square meters and are equipped with everything you need. When booking or checking in, you should make sure that you get a room with a view of Dubai Creek. As a rule, the suites are on the higher floors where you then have a better view. But whether you need this as a tourist or not, everyone should decide for themselves. Furthermore, the suites are of course larger at around 87 square meters and you have more space there.

Eating and drinking is always very important during a trip to Dubai. We always recommend booking the Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City with breakfast. That means you can help yourself to the buffet every morning where there is something for everyone. Warm meals are also offered there, so you won’t be hungry again in the afternoon. There is also the possibility that you can book a half board there. As a rule, however, you always have to reckon with a surcharge of 30 to 35 dollars per person and day. There you can help yourself to the buffet in the evening. But right next to the hotel is the Dubai Festival City Mall where there are many restaurants. So there is a particularly large selection and you don’t have to search long. Of course, if you prefer to eat in the hotel, you can do that too.
