Crowne Plaza Dubai
Crowne Plaza Dubai stands in Deira, the older commercial district on the north bank of Dubai Creek. Two metro stations are within walking distance, which puts both the historic Creek-side neighbourhoods and the newer districts of central Dubai within a short ride.
The hotel runs three food and drink options. Brioso serves Italian food. Harry's is a bar with a happy hour. Spice Island is a buffet restaurant. The executive club lounge is available to guests in the higher room categories and provides a quieter place to work or eat away from the main dining areas.
Rooms and suites follow the standard Crowne Plaza configuration: air-conditioned, with the usual business-hotel amenities. The pool sits outside, which in Dubai's climate is usable for most of the year. The health and fitness centre is indoors.
The location in Deira is the hotel's main practical asset. The neighbourhood has functioning street life — the Gold Souk, the Spice Souk, and the Creek dhow wharves are all reachable on foot or by a short metro journey. Guests who want to cover the whole city use the metro rather than relying on taxis or a car.
