the perfect place to stay in dubai – movenpick deira

movenpickIMG_0281

when we arrived in dubai, we were really ready for a comfy bed and a shower. we had gone straight to the airport from shark diving in south africa and flew overnight. our beautiful room at the movenpick deira hotel was a sight for sore eyes! a nap, some snacks and a shower felt so luxurious, especially because everything in our room was top notch.

our entire stay at movenpick deira was completely delightful. we loved the location of the hotel – near to the airport, away from the craziness of the malls and downtown, but really close to a subway stop, making the entire city so easily accessible. the service was impeccable – every member of the staff was incredibly kind and very helpful in not only ensuring a comfortable and happy stay at the hotel, but also a great time in dubai (they helped us find our way around and discover the coolest things in the city). the amenities were plentiful and the food was so delicious.

it can be overwhelming to decide on a place to stay in dubai – there are so, so many different hotels in lots of different parts of the city. we highly, highly recommend a stay at movenpick deira.

^^ we were tickled pink by the fact that the hotel had given us personalized t-shirts as a special souvenir. and that note! it says “welcome to movenpick deira. wishing you a pleasant stay as you #charianaroundtheworld.” they even picked up on our instagram hashtag! ian is obsessed with this t-shirt with his name on it in english and arabic. you’ll notice it in lots of pictures in blog posts to come!^^

  3. Wow, the hotel looks beautiful!
    Can I ask you how you partnershipped with the hotel? Did you just asked them beforehand if you could write a review on your blog in order to get a compensation/ free stay? Sorry for this (maybe) noisy question, I am totally not familiar with these things ;)
    I am so excited for your posts about the South America part of your trip- in order to relive the beautiful time I spent there :) Looking forward to the next posts.

  4. Charity, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about your travels and enjoying your pictures. Places I will probably never get, thank you for sharing, keep up the good work. I have been an "Eyre" fan for years, enjoyed your parents at Education Week many times.

  6. Just this week we were staying in Savannah, I looked in the hotel closet and there were two lush bath robes. As I pulled mine on I thought to myself "Aaah, the lap of luxury!" and remembered you and Trowbridge. Anyway, just thought it was funny to read this post and hear you mention the bath robes.
