Where To Stay in Dubai – Fairmont Dubai

Our first hotel for the trip was the Fairmount Dubai. Fairmount is the series of hotels all over the globe, and while I have heard of it, I haven’t stayed at any prior to this visit. I was incredibly impressed with this stunning hotel, its service, restaurants and location. I was also treated like royalty all the way, and if I had to go back to Dubai, this would be the hotel that I would go back to.It is located in Downtown Dubai on one of the main roads, called Sheikh Zayed Road, so you are close by to the World Trade Centre and the Dubai Mall.

Everything runs super smoothly at the Fairmount Dubai, from the check-in which took all of 5 minutes to their restaurant service. You get treated to a welcome drink while in the lobby, and there are chocolates,dates and fruits waiting for you upon arrival in the room. I stayed in the suite, which includes a huge lounge overlooking the city with an office and a Nespresso coffee machine(6 capsules a day are complimentary along with lots of bottles of water and a plate of fresh fruit).

And the second room is the bedroom with a massive bed and bathroom.

The view from the room is spectacular, and even though this is a boutique hotel, that sense of luxury is definitely there.

All in all the hotel is 34 stories high and contains almost 400 rooms ranging from a single room all the way up to the penthouse suite. The penthouse suite is of course luxury all the way. There is also a conference area with meeting rooms and a dinning area where you can have lunch between your meetings .

Of course Fairmont Dubai is also home to one of the best spas, a gym and not one but two pools- you have the sunset and the sunrise pool, as the sun shines in different directions throughout the day.

One of the highlights of the hotel for me is its dinning options. We had buffet breakfast at The Cascades every morning which contained everything and anything. In terms of diners, Fairmont Dubai has some of the worlds best restaurants, there is 8 in total on the property.

Noire is its “dining in the dark” concept restaurant, where you eat in complete darkness! It’s all about the senses there and the food is served to you all cut up already so you can eat it in little bites. The food ranges from sea urchin down to the more traditional lamb, and this is something worth trying! Another highlight for me was the Catch restaurant that just opened(you can read more about that in my Where To Eat In Dubai post).

Overall I had an amazing experience at The Fairmont Dubai. A night there starts from R2800 and up, which is pretty much the same price you would expect from the Johannesburg options such as The Hyde Park Hotel and 54 on Bath. I loved that it’s located in the heart of the city, but you still feel like you are on holiday while visiting it.

My actual face yesterday when my account was clone My actual face yesterday when my account was cloned 😩😨Please do not accept any messages from an account called irinadoman_team or insert your credit card details anywhere on this app, because scammers are out there trying hard to steal our cash 😩 My account was cloned because of a giveaway that I ran, and apparently this happens to a lot of brands and bloggers when a big prize is up for grabs! Their account gets cloned under a similar name and then their followers get a message saying that they are a winner, with a link to insert their credit card details. They say things like “We need you to cover the delivery cost of the prize” which is where they ask you to put in your card details- don’t do it!😩Anyways I was left quite traumatized from all this yesterday and the account is sadly still up, because this is Instagram 😒How fab is this photo of me getting swarmed by pigeons in Venice though?😂They were after my pizza bread 🤷🏻‍♀️ #scammerseverywhere #staywoke
Since it was our engageversary yesterday(totally a Since it was our engageversary yesterday(totally a word), let me tell you a (now) funny story about getting engaged 💍 I knew that we would be getting engaged sometime soon as we chatted about it, but I didn’t know when it would happen, so for a good month or two, I was always on standby-by mode, ready for things to happen😂 There were so many opportunities for a beautiful proposal as it was December, and we were traveling all over the country, visiting gorgeous locations 💙When Steve suggested  that we climb Lions Head in the Cape Town December heat at 12PM in the day, I did it, because I thought “Hey, maybe he will propose there(he didn’t😂)?” Then we went to visit the gorgeous Blyde River Canyon, and I thought surely this is the perfect place to do it(it wasn’t, but I did get this great pic😂)!?There were a couple of other close calls on the Balitto beach and in the bush, but in the end,  Steve chose his own time and place to do(as he usually does anyway). It was a very nerve wrecking month of my life, filled with “engagement ready” nails and outfits 😂 Who else can relate or was your engagement a total surprise😂?💁🏻‍♀️

🍷 Favourite wine farms in Cape Town 🍷 It’s 🍷 Favourite wine farms in Cape Town 🍷
It’s been a tough time for the wine industry in the last year so why not still support your fav wine farm if you can, by going there for a meal? We recently did just that when we were in Cape Town and headed to @quoinrock for a delectable picnic 🧺 . Here are some other wine farms that I love not only for their delicious wine but also for their cheese platters, yummy lunches and crazy beautiful views. Drop your favorites below because sharing is caring and let’s support our local wine industry 😊
🍷 @cavalliestate - I mean obviously, it’s why we chose it as a wedding venue! Their food is SO good, I’ve had it a few times now and even though their seasonal menu changes often, I can safely say that anything that you order from their menu will be divine 🤤 
🍷 @capepointvineyardsofficial One of the best cheese and charcuterie boards I’ve ever had was here! The views are beautiful because you see the beach AND the vineyards at the same time 😍
🍷 @beauconstantia - If you’re feeling like treating yourself then head on over to Chefs Warehouse that is in Beau Constantia, or enjoy a cheese board in the wine tasting area, overlooking some gorgeous vineyards .
🍷 @leopardsleap - Lovely for a birthday or a special occasion, Leopards Leap offers a Family Table experience  which is a mouthwatering selection of starters, mains and desserts, prepared just for you🤤At R395 a person it’s a great deal for the awesome meal that you get, believe me I’ve tried it!
🍷 @babylonstoren - a bit of an obvious one, but I can’t help but love this place 🤷🏻‍♀️You can have a foodie experience at their Babel restaurant or a relaxed lunch at the Greenhouse. 
Tell me what your favorites are that I must visit next time 🍷
My actual excited face when I heard that my favori My actual excited face when I heard that my favorite TV show Sex And The City is coming back for another season!😆😆😆 It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I absolutely love the show(and watch on repeat all the time) and Carrie Bradshaw has definitely been one of my biggest style inspirations over the years. She was the biggest inspiration behind my wedding ceremony look(as she married her Mr Big in a white suit with the gorgeous blue Manolos too 😉)and she has inspired many of my looks over the years. From the 80s-vibe black jumpsuit that I wore in the streets of New York to whimsical tutu and tulle skirts that I bought because of her, Carrie has been a constant source of #OOTD inspiration for me! Are you as excited as I am about the reboot? Also which of these looks is your fav?
