Hilton Dubai Jumeirah Resort - Art Dubai 2014

Last week, I took a few days off and went to Dubai with my family to attend the Art Dubai 2014.

My mother loves art and got an invitation from a Japanese gallery owner to this wonderful event. Thanks to him we were able to attend the Art Dubai as "Collectors' Circle" guest, which means that the admission was free, we had the chance to have a private view before the exhibition was opened to the public view, we could attend several programs exclusively organized for Collectors' Circle guest and last but not least we had a complementary car service by Maserati. :D

The first 2 nights we stayed at the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah Resort. Thanks to the Hilton Diamond membership, we got upgraded to the Family Suite with sea view. Apparently, it's one of the oldest hotel in Dubai but it was clean and it didn't look that old to me. The furnitures were maybe a little old-fashioned but it didn't bother me that much. I was so amazed that our room was spacious! :)

The Hilton Dubai Jumeirat Resort (you can see it on the very back on the picture below) is located on the beautiful Jumeirah Beach and Jumeirah Beach Residence Walk (JBR Walk), where you can enjoy various shopping and dining option.

When we were strolling on the beach, we found several beautiful sand sculptures. Look at this huge sandcastle! 

 This turtle looks like real! 

I just found an article about the sand sculptures at JBR - apparently they were made by an Australian artist: Jenny Rosen. She is amaaaa-zing!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hilton DJR even though it was just for 2 nights. The location was fabulous, the food at the executive lounge was good and we had impeccable and friendly service from all of the staffs! 

They were disappointed when we told them that we are staying at another hotel the next following days. They all thought that we weren't satisfied with Hilton... but we explained that we are invited to the Art Dubai and since it's going to take place at Madinat Jumeirah Hotel which is about 15 mins taxi ride away from Hilton, we wanted to stay close to the venue.

And OMG, thank God we also got the chance to stay at the other hotel - it was SO GORGEOUS!!! (Sorry Hilton!)
