Sent from the all-new AOL app for Android Classy, shiny, not a great location for seeing the city The paramount is a well appointed modern hotel that is probably the next best thing to staying in Hollywood hotel. The Psram9unt film theme pervades, almost relentlessly, and fine detail is observed. The Covid seating restrictions are mocked up to look like the spaces are reserved for Hollywood stars, furniture has pictures of Hollywood legends as backrests; I tried out the Bob Hope. Even the lifts are themed. One of them opens up to a big black and white picture of Jerry Lewis struggling with too much luggage and the foyer has a prominent picture of Marlon Brando as the Don himself, nearby there is a seat reserved for the Don . For me checking-in made for a bumpy ride, no one could find my reservation. They eventually did, but not until 04:00 hours, which necessitated me packing, at that ungodly hour, and moving. This, after travelling for twelve hours or more, an ideal welcome after a long-haul flight. The Paramount film theme continues to the bedrooms, with tripod mounted studio lighting to make it feel like you are on 'on set'. Quotations, written in different areas abound, mostly uncredited, so there's a competition in the making. The speakeasy bar probably does have a prohibition era atmosphere, or at least we must assume that's how a 1930s speakeasy may have felt. The actual location, Business Bay, is not a pretty place, and not near enough to anything to attract you here unless you need to be here. (I did, work). It's certain that to get to anywhere like The Marina or the Malls, you will be taking a car, even getting to the nearest Metro is a car ride. This does make the hotel feel isolated. That said, there are good views of the Burj Khalifa from one side of the tower, otherwise, in common with most hotels in Dubai, your views are composed of high rise towers, semi- desert landscapes, and very busy roads, which are impossible to cross on foot. The real stars here are the hotel staff who are expert in hospitality. Amine and Silviara were particularly good in the dining room, at breakfast, the conference staff were very friendly and professional too. As hotels go this is pretty much as good as it gets here in Dubai; classy, in a very shiny way, without being old-person-stuffy. If you stay in the hotel complex, and are happy with the pool, Gym, etc. you may not have to take a taxi or Uber to satisfy your needs. If you are staying here and want to explore Dubai, get an Uber app or the Careem app., the latter is cheaper.
