To make stays convenient, the hotel offers a free shuttle bus service to the business district, major tourist attractions and beaches.
"Dubai is a fast-growing, cosmopolitan city that offers visitors a range of activities, from shopping in the modern malls, to watching a performance at the opera, to abra rides on the creek," said Dianna Vaughan, senior vice president and global head, DoubleTree by Hilton. "As the first and only hotel in Bay Square, DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai - Business Bay is ideal for travelers seeking accommodation in this popular new destination.
