A vacation in Dubai is often associated with luxury hotels and high prices. If you've ever looked at a room service menu or checked the mini-bar price list, you know that alcohol markups can be 3-5 times higher than retail.
Arabian Bar offers a smart alternative: order your favorite drinks at a fair price delivered straight to your hotel. But how to do it correctly and legally?
Top 3 Rules for Hotel Delivery
To ensure your order goes smoothly, it's important to understand UAE hotel security protocols:
-
Meeting at the Lobby. In 99% of cases, hotel security does not allow delivery couriers to go up to guest rooms. This is standard practice for hotels like Ritz-Carlton, Atlantis, Jumeirah, and others.
-
Solution: Our courier will arrive at the Main Entrance or Lobby area. You will simply need to come down for a couple of minutes to collect your package.
-
-
Discreet Packaging. Many tourists ask: "Will hotel staff judge me for bringing alcohol in?"
-
Solution: We pack all orders in opaque, non-branded bags. From the outside, it looks like a standard food or retail delivery. No one will know you are carrying premium whiskey or wine.
-
-
Chilled Drinks. Waiting for an ice bucket in a hotel can sometimes take forever.
-
Tip: When ordering from Arabian Bar, specify that you want chilled bottles. We deliver them at the perfect serving temperature.
-
Why is it better than the Mini-Bar?
-
Selection: Mini-bars usually offer just a couple of beers and tiny spirit bottles. We offer a full catalog of global brands.
-
Price: The cost of a full bottle of wine with us is often the same as a single glass at the hotel bar.
-
Speed: Delivery takes about 30-40 minutes — often faster than waiting for room service during peak hours.
