Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Pearl Rotana Capital Centre.

Weekend clothes, sleepwear and the kit from the hotel gym cost less weighed than counted. Up to 6kg is AED 60, up to 12kg is AED 99, and every kilo beyond that is AED 12. Folded and back at Pearl Rotana within 24 hours.

The suit for the board meeting and the shirts under it. Shirts are AED 15, a two-piece suit AED 50, a three-piece AED 60 and an overcoat AED 50. Given to the driver before noon, they can be back at Pearl Rotana that evening.

A shirt that has spent a flight folded in a case usually only needs pressing. That is AED 9 on a hanger, AED 12 for trousers and AED 25 for a jacket or blazer. Back the following day, ready for the next appointment.

Not for hotel rooms: this is for people living in the apartments of Capital Centre and Al Rawdah. A comforter cover is AED 25, a pillow AED 18, a bed sheet AED 18 and a mattress protector AED 30. Large duvets take 48 hours.

Formal leather shoes and smart trainers cleaned and refreshed. A pair costs AED 55, boots AED 85, and stain protection adds AED 20. It takes two to four days, so it suits guests staying the week rather than one night.

A briefcase marked by daily use or a handbag that needs a refresh. Briefcases and laptop bags cost AED 45, standard handbags AED 45, oversized ones AED 55 and wallets AED 35. Allow three to five days.

A shirt sleeve shortened at the cuff costs AED 40, a trouser waist taken in AED 40 and a seam repaired AED 40. Snaps and buttons are AED 12 each. Most alterations need 48 to 72 hours, so ask early in your stay.

For residents near ADNEC with their own rugs and curtains, not hotel furnishings. Regular carpets are AED 20 per square metre, wool AED 26; curtains AED 20, or AED 25 with blackout. Returned in three days.

For guests in the capital for a wedding celebration. A standard bridal gown is from AED 250, a beaded one from AED 450, a wedding abaya AED 50 and a sherwani AED 70. Allow seven to fourteen days.

For promotion teams staying near ADNEC with a costumed character for a fair. A small mascot is AED 200, a medium one AED 230 and a large one AED 250. Heads, gloves and props are AED 30 each. Three to five days.

For parents who bring the family along on a work trip. A small soft toy costs AED 55, a medium one AED 70 and a large one AED 120. Cleaned gently and back in two to three days.
