Although rather ’80s in style with plenty of patterned carpets and florals flying about, the generously sized rooms here are a stand-out factor of this 4-star establishment. Centrally located with all the mod cons, Al Safir serves business travellers well with its boardrooms, business centre and secretarial services. The pleasant Moroccan-inspired swimming pool and Jacuzzi provides a perfect way to unwind after a boardroom battle, as do the Iraqi restaurant and Iranian bar. If you’ve just won that coveted contract, you can celebrate with a private barbecue or party, which the hotel will organise for you. It is a perfect place for the sociable businessperson.
