1. through 10, a beautiful designed building, the Marsa Plaza, the home of the InterContinental Residence Suites Festival City in Dubai, UAE. We loved the pleasing aspect of the exterior, a gorgeous building, beautiful location with the [New] Dubai Creek out front and we could walk along the Creek towards the InterContinental Hotel Festival City Dubai, these two hotels are within easy 10/15 walk from each other or less than 5 minutes via complimentary shuttle bus. The Suites are subtle and beautifully integrated into the Festival City landscape in this part of Dubai, which is also near to the airport making it ideal to stay after or before a flight in comfort. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again in our future. Enjoy.
1. through 10, we enjoyed our dinner at Mezza Luna, the Italian inspired Trattoria is a beautiful and relaxed place to meet, to enjoy and to feel well, located on the lobby level of the InterContinental Residence Suites Festival City in Dubai. Beautiful food, friendly and fast service, plus a gorgeous setting and value. We loved the textures of our meals, the flavors and presentation was memorable too, as was the service, which was swift and friendly at the same time. We would indeed look forward in our future to enjoy our dinner here again and yes, we would equally love to stay again at this hotel, located near the airport and the [New] Dubai Creek area. Having written this, on the next morning, after a memorable night at our Studio Suite at this hotel we came to visit again Mezza Luna to enjoy our breakfast. Overall, highly recommended, beautiful style, setting, service, value and choice alike. Enjoy.
1. through 15, we've discovered during our stay at the modern InterConintnetal Residence Suites Festival City, Dubai, UAE the wonderful indoor swimming pool and outdoor terrace overlooking Dubai, a gorgeous pool, a waterscape to be proud of, beautiful design, details and lots of space to enjoy this awesome facility at your or our own pace. Services are offered too incl. drinks and more, plus the terrace offers loungers too and lets not forget some splendid views. It was hot, as you would expect in Dubai, but swimming inside, being in the mood for relaxation and afterwards feeling well, that's as beautiful at it gets. Enjoy.
1. through 10, our Studio at the InterContinental Residence Suites Festival City, Dubai, UAE offered also a modern bathroom, we liked the clean feel, the Agraria products which come as standard at InterContinal Hotels around the world, plus some extras incl. Shaving Kit, which we thought was a nice upscale touch, but we would have loved to see a shower stall here instead of the shower/bathtub combined, having said this, overall it was very enjoyable and yes, we would look forward to stay again at the IC Residence Suites in our future for a short stay, before or after our flight/flights when in Dubai. Enjoy.
1. through 15, we enjoyed our stay at the InterContinental Residence Suites Festival City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in September 2014, but make sure when you're coming via taxi from the airport, in our case DXB, that the hotel/Residences are located at Marsa Plaza which isn't the IC Dubai Festival City as the "main hotel" is 7 minutes drive/or 15 minutes walk away along the new Dubai Creek. Once there we had a good welcome which was early, but our Studio was ready within 20 minutes despite the early hour, we sent them an e-mail beforehand so that they would know about our early arrival, but then it's Dubai, an early arrival or late departure shouldn't be too unexpected for any hotel in the Emirate. In regards to our 1 King Bed Studio, we had views over the city towards the airport, which we actually very much enjoyed, plus our Studio was airy, offered a luxurious bed, a large bathroom, a modern kitchen, beautiful modern furniture, a good seating area, which we used also for in-room dining, plus a good/large balcony with awesome views here in Dubai. Very enjoyable overall, we might stay here again as we look forward to visit Dubai in our future again. Enjoy.
