The experience for two days were excellent. We were in the hotel almost fulltime because of attendance of seminar. The rooms, restaurants, meeting rooms all were excellent with smiling support of the staff.

The Intercontinental at Festival City delivers a lot. The restaurants are many, and each outlet has great quality food. The Belgian Café is my personal favourite, with an amazing selection of beers from around the world (imagine in a country where alcohol is still taboo!). The Spa has lovely treatments. The pool area has one of the more unique views, looking back onto the city skyline. This hotel would be perfect for a business traveller, as you can easily access the downtown in 10 minutes, but can also get to the older areas of Dubai, avoiding the crazy traffic of Sheikh Zayed Rd. (Dubai's main thoroughfare) You can also access the Fesival City Mall, which is not the most exciting mall in Dubai, but should you forget something, or wish to kill time in the evening, there is lots of selection and a movie theatre. Many hotels in Dubai (such as the Address hotel group) do not have quality food and beverage outlets to choose from if you stay for more than a few nights. At the Intercontinental you can dine in various restos, all at different price points, and also skip over to the Crown Plaza property next door (which is actually where the Belgian Café is located).

I found the hotel and all the services impeccable. Everything was perfect. Will definitely recommend. The only negative would be the location, a little away from other areas. But it is serviced by the festival city mall and the canal walk. Beautiful weather and the canal walk a pleasure

Arrived after 4 days in another hotel in Dubai for four days of shopping :) W
e have stay here before and it is one of our favorite hotels in Dubai. Very near to shopping restaurants , very nice and quite and only 5 minutes with a cab from the airport
The hotel is great as I am an Gold ambassador member they upgrade both our rooms for two very nice suites
Both room were spacious and very nice décor as our first visit there was 2 year ago we were thinking that it may not be the same
But they kept the room in very high standards and you cannot really get that one day have past from the other time everything was like the first time the carpets the seats the sofas everything …
All the hotel was really clean and the people working there were so amazing …
The hotel is connected to a mall that has great restaurants and places to have breakfast. There is an Italian restaurant there called Bella Italy (not sure for the name) and has amazing food and breakfast.
There is also a place that make amazing muffins sorry I cannot remember the name and know there is one place that you should not miss it is called The Cold Stone and you can find it in many places around dubai
This people are the best you get to choose what kind of ice cream you want ( I always have Banana and Chocolate) and then you get to mix whatever you like in the ice cream (I get TWIX and Mars usually)
The best ice cream ever and the people there are very kind and do tricks it is so much fun.
We will be returning to this hotel for sure It is truly a great place to stay it is a great value for what offers and the people
Are amazing very helpful and always with a great smile in the face.
