The Dubai Radisson SAS is a very comfortable hotel for the business traveller. My company made the arrangements and selected a 'Business Class' room. The room comes with breakfast and access to the Business Lounge. Breakfast can be taken in the lounge, the main restaurant or (my favourite) room service. Room service at no additional cost! I love it because I typically wake up earlier than the restaurants open and I can read my email while eating my waffle. The Business Lounge looks like any airport lounge and there was a happy hour with snacks from 6 to 8 PM. This is excellent for travellers who get a per diem. No charge for breakfast, eat lunch in a local restaurant and eat a light dinner with beer at no charge and you've got an extra 50 dollars a day in your pocket.
Internet is free - there's wireless and network. The rooms are comfortable with the European decor that typically comes with a five star hotel and have a large flat screen TV with about six channels of English TV and thirty channels of Arab TV. The rooms have large bathrooms that include tub, separate shower and a bidet. My only complaint was that the soap and shower gel were labeled 'aromatherapy' and smelled like cheap aftershave.
The pool area is nice and the exercise room is decent but doesn't open until 8am.
The concierge is very efficient and helped arrange a desert excursion for my colleagues and myself.
From journal Dubai is just like Vancouver without the rain!
