Phenomenal phenomenal video!!! Quick question - How would you compare the Conrad Dubai and Conrad Abu Dhabi? Your Conrad Abu Dhabi video convinced me to stay there for my upcoming Abu Dhabi trip. But for Dubai, I am debating between Conrad Dubai and Waldorf Astoria DIFC. Would love to get your thoughts, and keep up the amazing work!
I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Quick question that is not easy to answer :-) Both hotels met and exceeded my expectation in terms of service quality and staff professionalism. However, I found the check-in experience at the Conrad Abu Dhabi more personal and welcoming. The key difference is the design language of the hotels, the Conrad Abu Dhabi has brighter colours which I personally prefer, but that's individual taste. Another difference is the all-day lounge at the Conrad Dubai, with breakfast, soft drinks, coffee and snacks throughout the day, and an evening happy hour, compared to the Conrad Abu Dhabi with a happy hour in the evening. Maybe the chocolate fountain at breakfast at the Conrad Dubai will convince you? For Abu Dhabi, the Conrad certainly is the best choice (maybe the Mandarin Oriental..), but in Dubai there are many more options across different brands. I have not been to the Waldorf Astoria in Dubai DIFC yet, but given my two latest experiences at the WA Dubai Palm Jumeirah and WA Berlin, I am not too keen on that brand to be honest... to the extent that I decided not to visit the WA Maldives either, but chose another branded hotel for one of my next trips there.
