Royal Continental Hotel

Port Saeed is everyday Deira at full tilt: a lively grid of shawarma counters, money exchanges and office towers, with City Centre Deira, one of Dubai's first big malls, just across the road. The Creek is a pleasant stroll away, with Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club on its banks. Deira City Centre Metro is a short walk away, and the airport is less than ten minutes by car.

Every room features Royal Continental Digital Connect, an LED screen that controls the room at a single touch. Superior and Deluxe rooms are comfortable and well equipped, while the Family Rooms interconnect, giving parents and children their own space. For more room to spread out, Junior Suites add a separate living area.

The hotel's main restaurant serves buffets, starting with breakfast. For something lighter, the café offers a relaxed spot for coffee and a snack, and the City Centre Deira restaurants are just across the road.

This is a proper spa, not an afterthought. Orchid Spa pairs massages, facials and body treatments with a sauna and a traditional Moroccan hammam, plus a full beauty salon for hair and nails. The swimming pool and gym round out the facilities.
