With 1,250 rooms and vast public areas, this is the largest hotel in the Middle East. There are several period rooms including an octagonal piano bar with gilded ceiling and red leather stools. The hotel has recently renovated Ristorante Tuscany and JW's Steakhouse, but if you want to get out of the hotel, there are several restaurants, bars and shops in the upmarket expat district in which the Marriott is located.
