Awards, birthdays, and guest comments!

A little while ago, our partners from Lastminute.com came to see us and brought us a nice surprise: A special plaque of appreciation for our dedication and longstanding partnership.

We’re very proud to have had a stellar year with Lastminute.com and would like to say a big “Thank you!” to all our Lastminute.com guests and, of course, our teams who look after them.

If you’re in Dubai this weekend, do join us to congratulate our friends from McGettigan’s JLT on their 5^th birthday! Yes, it’s really only been five years that we opened McGettigan’s Pub in our hotel, but what a journey it has been! These days, you can find McGettigan’s in several locations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ireland, Singapore, New York, and – shortly – also in London.

The next three days, though, are all about the JLT pub, where everything started. McGettigan’s has put together a fabulous lineup of offers and events – check them out here.

During the past weeks, we’ve also received more guest comments via our Golden Book in the hotel lobby. Here are a few, but you can find more on our dedicated Pinterest board here.

October’s here! So are our offers!

Good bye September! Hello October! We’re eagerly awaiting the cooler autumn and winter temperatures in Dubai!

Our local community, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, will play host to some great events over the coming weeks and we’ll showcase them in an upcoming blog post. Right now, we thought, we’d bring you up-to-date with our October offers.

Healey’s Bar and Terrace remains the place to be seen in JLT, so why not pop in for a masterly mixed cocktail, a fine glass of wine, some great snacks, or a shisha on the terrace? Need an additional excuse? How about our cocktail of the month?

 

 

If cocktails aren’t your thing, how about a mocktail? It’s great at any time of the day or when you’re relaxing after a gym or swimming session. Ascend to our Leisure Deck, sit back, enjoy the view, and take a healthy sip:

 

 

In our Author’s Lounge things aren’t just about tea, coffee, and great pastries! In October, you can also board a Belgian Beer Flight and try three great Belgian beers for a very special price!

Shopping fanatic? We’ve got a shuttle for you!

Everybody knows that Dubai is a shopper’s paradise and the Bonnington is located just a short distance away from some of the city’s major malls. Dubai Marina Mall is just across Sheikh Zayed Road and you can walk to it via the metro footbridge.

Other malls are a little further than a short walk away, but fret not, because we have a daily free shopping shuttle bus which you can use to visit Ibn Battuta Mall, Jumeirah Beach Residence (also handy for the beach and The Walk at JBR!), Mall of the Emirates, and, of course, Dubai Mall.

Shuttles run twice a day and here’s the schedule:
