Park Hyatt Dubai has reopened its doors, with a number of safety measures and special offers in place.

The sprawling hotel inside Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, which features 223 rooms including 34 suites, has been closed for months owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

However, the five-star property is now ready to welcome back guests with strict safety precautions. These include frequent cleaning and disinfection of all public washrooms and high-touch points throughout the hotel.

Surfaces in rooms, which feature private balconies or terraces with views of the Creek or the lagoon, will also undergo some decluttering as items such as magazines will be removed. Any extra items that are requested (such as a dental kit or toiletries) will be placed inside specially sanitised delivery bags and left on the room's outside door handle.

Room attendants will also clean the space while wearing personal protective equipment and it will be checked again by team leaders with a black light. On check-out, rooms will be disinfected with a ULV fogging machine.

Guests can also get private in-room Covid-19 tests, carried out by the hotel's doctor, by booking an appointment through the concierge. The service costs Dh350.

Special offers to mark reopening

In addition to the safety measures introduced, Park Hyatt Dubai also has a promotion offering 30 per cent off bookings from now until Monday, November 30. The deal includes breakfast at Brasserie du Park, unlimited access to the lagoon beach and gymnasium, as well as complimentary access to Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club's driving range and mini golf facilities. There is also 20 per cent off food, drinks and spa treatments.

The hotel is also offering a daycation package for two that, for Dh850, gives access to the lagoon pool, a lagoon beach room and Dh200 back in credit for food and drinks.

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
