This riad-style boutique hotel occupies a century-old wind-tower house smack dab in the Al Fahidi Historic District, off Al Fahidi St. Its 15 compact rooms sport whitewashed walls decorated with art that picks up on local themes like the Henna Room or the Dishdash Room. Most open onto a courtyard (making them rather dark) with a cafe where breakfast is served.
The Windtower deluxe room is a gem, housed in the original tower with sky views (through the glass!).
