I happened to see a tweet on a (for me) busy Friday afternoon that struck me.

Reason for ChoosingWe’ve stay at the Grand Hyatt Dubai a few times now, including on our most recent trip around the world and every time it has been a short but fantastic stay. It is close enough to the Dubai airport that you don’t feel like you are rushing to get out of the hotel…
