Having visited and taken advantage of this experience no less than 3 times, I can honestly say the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr’s\u00a036 Hour Weekend Package<\/a><\/strong> is among the most relaxing ways to spend two days in the capital. \u00a0We first went for this package back in 2010, when we were residents of Dubai, and have been back when living in Doha and with friends during our current stay in Abu Dhabi. \u00a0With an all you can eat and drink brunch, early check in, a luxe room, breakfast, lunch and<\/em> a late checkout – it’s a great value. \u00a0There is enough time to go big at brunch and completely recover the next day. \u00a0Finally, given the proximity\u00a0to the Souq\u00a0Qaryat Al Beri, if the weather isn’t too warm, you can walk over and have a look around (or another\u00a0drink).<\/p>\n

Reservations?<\/strong> \u00a0Made online (and not through a third party). \u00a0Given the package, I would be surprised if you could find this without booking directly through the hotel’s website.<\/p>\n

Ambiance? \u00a0<\/strong>One of my favorite Fairmont properties. \u00a0Honestly, I even love the smell of this hotel! \u00a0The exterior is one of a kind and the interior is quite modern. \u00a0Given the complete difference from the nearby Shangri-La (also nice), the two hotels make a striking addition to the skyline.<\/p>\n
