The mile-long driveway through a lush date-palm grove is the first hint that the Park Hyatt is no ordinary hotel – an impression quickly confirmed the moment you step into the domed and pillared lobby. Tiptoeing between hip and haute, it has oversized pastel rooms with subtle arabesque flourishes and balconies for counting the dhows plying the Creek. Close to the airport.
The spa and restaurants are all top notch and the golf-course setting further lends an air of exclusivity.
