Agree with M1- pick a hotel in JBR. There are some good restaurants in financial district and downtown (La Serre for example) but in JBR you have the beach, the boulevard you can walk along the beach (it's much cooler in Dec so nice to walk around the marina too) with all the shops and restaurants, etc. Financial district is less pedestrian friendly, more isolated.

I stayed at Ritz financial district last new year. It is an ok hotel. No rooftop for Dubai views or watching new year fireworks which is a bummer. You will be closer to the Dubai mall but that’s it. I would suggest stay at Sheraton Palm instead if you plan to use similar number of points/ $$.

Thanks everyone!!

JBR! Personally, I hate the Grosvenor haha too dark and it smells like old, great location, though. I love Meridien Mina, but it can be kind of noisy (great location too).

@BCG2 i always wanted to work in Dubai. Made it to the final round of McKinsey back in the day and failed :(

@M1 transfer! Or come to a project here.

@C1 we dont have an office :(
