Distances that matter
| From the hotel to | Roughly |
|---|---|
| Dubai International Airport | 10 minutes by car; Terminal 2 is the closest terminal |
| Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA) | A short drive |
| Sahara Centre, Sharjah | Under 4 km |
| Green Line metro | Within reach, according to Fortune Hotels |
| Al Mamzar Beach | A short taxi ride |
Al Qusais sits right on the Dubai and Sharjah border, so it also works if you are visiting family in Al Nahda or Sharjah but want to stay on the Dubai side.
Pool, spa and places to eat
For a hotel at this price, Fortune packs in a lot: an outdoor pool with a sun deck, a gym, sauna, hot tub and a spa offering massages. Food is mostly Indian and international. The restaurants include Entey Nalukettu for Kerala dishes, Panorama, Freddy’s Restro Cafe and Fortune Cafe, and Boatman’s Hub is the bar. There is evening entertainment and live sports on screen, so ask for a quieter room if you have an early flight.
Rules before you book
- Check in from 2 PM, check out by 12 PM.
- The main guest must be at least 18.
- Children are welcome and cribs are available, but extra beds are not.
- Pets are not accepted.
- Parking is free, which helps if a relative is dropping you at the airport.
Cost and the Tourism Dirham
As a four star Dubai hotel, Fortune adds a Tourism Dirham of AED 15 per room per night, paid at the hotel and separate from the room rate. A two night airport stopover for one room might total around AED 600, which is about AED 100 a month over 6 months on Tabby. Rates rise during big Dubai exhibitions and the winter season.
We can put the room on Tabby, Tamara or a bank card plan, and add your flight to the same booking. The plans are compared in our hotels pay later guide.
Good fit, or not
A good fit for transit stays, DAFZA business trips, Kerala and North Indian families who want familiar food, and anyone who wants a pool without paying Downtown prices. Not the right base for beach holidays or nights in the Marina, which are 40 minutes or more away.
