This excellent, upmarket option is set just two very short blocks north of the meydan on a quiet alley, with unexpected sea views from its upper rear rooms. Expect monogrammed towels and toiletries, rounded wooden furniture and dapper staff who speak English and Arabic. The extravagant use of burnished gilt detailing might be a little showy for some tastes.
There's a fairly lavish breakfast buffet and an open-air lounge space for smoking nargile.
