Reply To: Subtle/understated UAE leisure hotels

We were pleasantly surprised to not really encounter any Insta-types at GH (except maybe Steven Seagal who was also staying when we were there 😂). Beautiful hotel (understated luxury, for Dubai, I felt) in every way, except the pool gets very limited sun exposure, so it may depend on whether that’s an issue for Mrs Swiss.

You can get the free shuttle and use the facilities at Le Meridien, which is also very nice, but many people would find that too much hassle, I suspect.
