What can be a real treat for a tired mind? Going out of your home for few days and staying at a peaceful place can be a wonderful idea. And nothing can be more marvelous than holidaying at beach. If holiday spot is across the Arabian ocean, it will surely be a lifetime rewarding experience. There are many around us who have enjoyed this fascination and many more are still there to continue this exploration in the years to come.

Dubai tourism sector is also suffering due to recession and number of leisure travelers has been declining continuously since 2009. Business travelers visit Dubai but now they tend to stay in slightly cheap hotels as compared to the costlier ones. To cater this tourism segment, every hotel will advertise itself in a unique way to attract more customers. Luxurious stay is not a thing that everyone demands but there are certain other things that can be the main attractions of hotels to entice customers.

Here goes the list:

Effectively manage your rates within your hotel class; never forget to compare your facilities with your competitors and at which rate they are offering all these. After comparing properly, offer your rates that can be your competitive edge over your competitors.

See what are the promotional features that other hotel owners use to advertise their hotel deals? They may be offering complimentary tea, free dinner, free internet or a spa treatment to entice more and more customers. See what out of all these offers can fit into your deals.

Make sure your staff is alert and friendly with your customers, right from the entrance. Your staff must treat guests well. Remember services sell sales and vice versa. Once the guests will be satisfied from your services, they will come back to you rather than trying a new hotel during next trip.

Luxury must be your norm. Clean rooms & lobbies, comfortable beds, Jacuzzis, glass-enclosed showers, internet, high tech gadgets, countless meals options and soft music or any other activity during dinner can be classic offers themselves. These all offers are the world’s best entertainments and can entice any guest to come back to your hotel.

Dubai has always been known for many luxurious and comfy destinations. Today I want to talk about the hotels from their architect perspectives. There are several hotels and restaurants in world that are built on the same pattern, only the outside view is different. While there are some unique hotels that are built on different patterns and dare to be unusual. Have you gotten a chance to visitAriauJungleTowersin capital ofBrazil,Manaus? The resort is built at treetop height, comprises of 8 towers with 268 rooms. Another weird hotel isMalmaison Oxford Castle,Englandwhich was used as a prison from Victorian times. It was turned into a hotel which comprises of 94 furnished rooms and few of them are the conversion of prison cells. Today, I am going to talk about one of the weird hotels of the world and that is Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa.

It is the first eco-friendly resort in emirates that gives an exceptional and soothing staying experience.

The resort consists of 42 individual suites with distinct modern facilities and each suite is having temperature controlled swimming pools. Guests can enjoy the complete privacy and their own interaction with desert life. Al Maha is the first desert and ecotourism resort in UAE that is also a representative of true Arabian hospitality. Two single massage rooms, two double massage rooms for couples that are offering complete body massage treatments in complete privacy. These are the few qualities that make it superior from the rest of the long array ofDubairesorts and hotels.

Al Maha Desert Resort is a sanctuary where you can walk along the sand dunes to get a closer interaction with wild life. No outsiders are allowed but hotel guides will escort you through the desert. Rest of the staff is quite dedicated and knowledgeable that makes the staying joy double in a unique heritage experience. You can enjoy the desert life either on foot, in an air-conditioned four wheel vehicle, on camel or horse backs. Apart from the recreation, you can also keep the business meetings in the Al Majlis Boardroom that employs multimedia presentation and video conferencing.

Let’s discover Al Maha Desert Resort cuisine that combines traditional Arabic taste with the modern demands. The entire cuisine is a blend of Mediterranean Middle Eastern International and Asian Dishes. Every time in any meal course you can ask for something of your choice and taste, your demand will be considered.

Everyone knows thatDubaiis focal place of ultra luxurious hotels and many out of them are 3, 4 and 5 star hotels located in almost every famous area ofDubaiand along beach areas. These classic hotels provide several facilities like swimming pools, air-conditioned rooms, laundry, spas and health clubs, game rooms, internet access, transportation, meeting rooms, culinary services and much more.

Today I am going to review few 4 and 5-star hotels in Dubai from cost, living and services point of view.

JW Marriot Hotel, Dubai: This must be a single 5-star hotel, which is very popular not just in Dubai but all around the world. It is situated in Downtown Dubai with modern architecture with glass façade and marble lobby. The Dubai International airport is only few kilometers away from Marriot Hotel andDubaiMuseum is only 6 kilometers away.

Metropolitan Hotel Deira: This hotel is located in the City Center of Dubai and only 3 kilometers away fromDubaiInternationalAirport. This hotel is surrounded by many attractions like Gold Souks, Dubai Creek, Deira City Center Shopping Mall,DubaiMuseum, Dubai Tennis Stadium, Burj Kahlifa,WildWadiPark and Mall of the Emirates.

Novotel Worl Trade Center: This is multi storey Tower-block hotel located in Dubai International Exhibition and few kilometers away fromDubaiMuseum. This hotel is popular for its 13 storey building and fully decorated guestrooms.

Metropolitan Hotel Dubai: This beautiful hotel is situated onSheikh Zayed Road and surrounded by an oasis. This hotel attracts the tourists with its fully furnished guestrooms in dark colors and Dark-wood Furnishings. This hotel is surrounded by many attractive places likeSafaPark, Burj Khalifa, Souk Al Bahar, Jumeirah Beech and Park, Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates andDubaiMuseum.

These are few attractive four star hotels but it does not mean the list end up here, it also include Dubai grand Hotel, Hatta Fort Hotel, Pearl Residence, Arabian Courtyard Hotel, Residence Deira By Le Meridien and Al Khaleej Palace Hotel. I have written this article with this hope only that you can make choice sitting on other side of your computer for your stay in Dubai.

How hotels are rated?

Did you ever think how we classify hotels into different categories like 4 star hotels or 5 star or seven star hotels. Marketers may have classified on the services or amenities basis. Well, there is no such classification exists for hotels but this thing has not disappointed marketers from tagging their properties into number of stars or diamonds and advertising them as 4, 5, 6 or 7 star hotels.

I personally feel so that this rating game must have begun when hotel management companies have kept on constructing hotels and started differentiating them on the basis of services provided and amenities. The race must have accelerated when a super luxurious hotel has built on an artificial island and tagged as a 7-star hotel by the Dubai government’s Development and Investment Office.

According to Wikipedia experts, there are only three seven star hotels in the world Town House Galleria in Milan; the Burj and Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. It is ridiculous when we talk about that travelers are still not being motivated to travel to Dubai, may be due to over-crowding of the city in form of towering buildings or may be due to inflation and economic conditions.

It is great to consider that when a hotel is tagged as 5-star hotel, it means it has achieved fine perfection in many forms. It is all that what one thinks to achieve when he enters into hotel management business. But there can be another thing also like, one reviewer in Norway stayed at the self-designated Six Star Ai Bahia Principe Costa Adeje, Spain, and went on to say the hotel lacked room service… but who cares, the reviewer said, because “you’re asleep during the night anyway.”

Travelers want that a hotel should meet its claims and pay attention to the basic idea of hospitality and exceedingly exceptional customer service. Travelers are not concerned with the number of stars because they demand value of their spent money and consider that hotel management is responsible for it. Therefore, it is recommended that it is not necessary to grab perfection in form of stars, it is important to look at the level of services you are going to provide.
