Cubicle Dreamin': Testing Out Luxury at the New Raffles Hotel in Dubai
Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.
In this episode, Hotel Maven Amanda K heads to Dubai. Enjoy.
It's not open until next month, but since I might need to win the lottery first that's not really a problem for my dream of staying at the brand spankin' new Raffles Dubai. I mean, come on, how could I resist a hotel that says "Magical moments and inspirational adventures to last a lifetime await at Raffles Dubai". While I doubt that it can live up to such a high expectation, the new Raffles does sound rather nice, and it looks cool too, all pyramid-like and fancy.
What about on the inside? Details are sketchy at the moment--though full superlative adjectives such as "blissful, stunning and enchanting"--but the hotel will feature an Asian-style design, Wifi, and (of course) fantastic service.
Raffles Dubai is offering an opening Celebration Package staying in a Grand Stateroom, including breakfast daily and airport transfers for $680 (plus 10% service charge PLUS 10% "municipality fee") so get in for that deal if you want to try out this Dubai pyramid for yourself. Then tell me if it lives up to all the adjectives.
