Quick Look: Park Hyatt Dubai

  • May 25, 2012
  • Brad A. Johnson

On my way back from a work assignment in India last month, I stopped for a couple days R&R in Dubai. I had originally planned to go shopping and skiing at that mall with the indoor ski slope, but once I checked into the Park Hyatt, I instantly changed my plans. I never left the hotel. Didn’t see or do anything in Dubai outside of my hotel. No shopping. No skiing. No sightseeing. No desert treks. Park Hyatt has long been one of my favorite luxury hotel brands, and the Dubai property did not disappoint. I love the architecture of the hotel, which is situated on the banks of Dubai Creek, sprawled across a park-like setting adjacent to Dubai’s most prestigious golf course and yacht club.  Between lounging by the pool, smoking an apricot hookah on the veranda, and eating the best tabbouleh EVER, I snapped a few pictures. Have a look around.

Hey, OC. FYI in case you missed it, @ryegoods has opened a new location on Red Hill in Tustin, just down the street from Flight/Mess Hall. Same incredible breads and pastries as the original on the peninsula. No lines here, plus a huge seating area. #sourdough #pastries #coffee #orangecounty 322 9
One more post from our lovely stay at @fstokyo. Delicious lunch at @maisonmarunouchi, the casual sibling to @sezannetokyo. Excellent all around. And clearly popular with Tokyo's ladies who lunch: the clientele during our visit, almost entirely women. Quite the see-and-be-seen crowd. 57 1
I’m not sure which I liked better about the @fstokyo, the valet greeter and escort from the train station, the view of the trains from our room, or the super comfy pajamas. Excellent service all around. #Tokyo #Japan #hoteljunkie 79 3
I think @sezannetokyo ⁠has a #footfetish, and I’m ok with that. Truly fantastic lunch. Impeccable service. ⁠ 63 1
We had a really fun "Lost in Translation" moment at @meatman_roppongi. Google Translate failed hilariously. Delicious meat/fat overload anyway. Great staff, charming hospitality. Lots of sake. Thank you, @fstokyo for securing the reservation! #Tokyo #Roppongi #sake 76 1
Well, that was interesting.  A toast to 2022. And looking forward to ‘23. Cheers, and safe travels to all. 81 1
