My royal treatment in Emirates Palace Hotel

After third attempt, we finally got in the Palace hotel. Hallelujah!!! Finally. I started to think if I will ever get in before I leave. This luxury hotel itself is open to public but not when sheik is entertaining his guests there.

 

I didn't see the highly critized Christmas tree from last year, but I did see the one from the year before. 

 Even so, it was still amazing. All these decorations. I know this one definitely will not be able to fit in my place.

The hotel serves multi-purposes. It has a concert hall and conferences rooms. There are plenty high-end boutiques. I saw the most beautiful carpet ever, the only thing I wanted to do was put in my place. It was in beautiful pink weaving with other pretty colors. I was never into pink, but that piece was lovely. I had the urge to take pictures. But I also felt maybe I was invading someone's wisdom prperty.

 The back of the hotel has a long stretched beach line.

I love this fountain

Since we didn't have $500 to spend for a night (still don't have it by now), for us poor people's royal treatment were coffee and cake. BTW, the hotel was all booked for the day. Plus, the desserts just looked so appetizing behind the glass. A book and a cup of coffee could be well sepdn even without the desserts we ordered. The small bites came with the tea or coffee. What a surprise! With the live music and yummy dessert, I was in heaven. 

 After sipping the gold into my stomach, I did fell like Donald Trump.

Desserts had arrived. They tasted as good as they looked. We purposely ordered these desserts with gold on top. Just wanted to feel like we are welthy people.

 

Live performers next to the cafe. The live music selection does change hoursly. A lovely pianist performed after these handsome men.

 Of course there's one thing that everyone has to do after meals -- bathroom.

    I didn't know why there's always water faucet in each bathroom. For washing hands after business?? If so, it's not that user friendly. Then somone told me that's for hygiene purposes. On the other hand, I know the swan is for decoration, anyone ever wipes hands from one of these towels?

 After meals and bathroom time, it was time for us to say good-bye. But there was one last thing to do -- take pictures.
