Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina.

Gym kit, running clothes, T-shirts and underwear do not need pressing. We weigh them: 6kg for AED 60, 12kg for AED 99, then AED 12 per extra kilo. They come back to Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina washed, dried and folded within 24 hours.

The core service for anyone here on business. A two-piece suit costs AED 50, a blazer AED 40, a shirt AED 15, a tie AED 15 and a waistcoat AED 15. Book before 12 and it can be back the same evening.

Fresh shirts creased by a carry-on bag only need pressing. A shirt on a hanger costs AED 9, a blazer AED 25 and trousers AED 12. Pressed pieces return within 24 hours, ready for the next meeting.

Mostly for people living in the Marina towers, or guests on longer assignments with their own bedding. A bed sheet is AED 18, a towel AED 6, a duvet AED 50. Linen returns in 24 hours, larger duvets in 48.

Leather shoes that spend all day on hard floors need regular care. Formal shoes and sneakers are AED 55, boots AED 85, and stain protection AED 20. Allow two to four days, so book at the start of a longer trip.

A laptop bag that goes everywhere, or a weekend duffel. Briefcases and laptop bags cost AED 45, duffels AED 65 and a medium suitcase AED 130. Bag cleaning takes three to five days.

A new suit from Dubai Marina Mall rarely fits off the rail. Trouser hems are AED 40, jacket sleeves from AED 55 and a waist take-in AED 40. Alterations take 48 to 72 hours.

Hotel guests will not need this: it is for apartments across Dubai Marina. Carpets cost AED 20 per square metre, wool AED 26, and curtains AED 20 to AED 25 per square metre. Allow three days.

The ballroom here hosts events and celebrations. A standard bridal gown is from AED 250, a beaded one from AED 450, a wedding abaya AED 50 and a wedding kandura AED 20. Bridal cleaning takes one to two weeks, delivered anywhere in Dubai.

For agencies and brand teams running launches, exhibitions or events around the Marina. Mascot suits cost AED 200 small, AED 230 medium and AED 250 large, plus AED 30 per accessory. Ready in three to five days.

Some guests bring the family for the weekend after a conference. Soft toys cost AED 55 small, AED 70 medium and AED 120 large. Cleaning takes two or three days.

For households in Dubai Marina, not hotel rooms. A regular sofa cover is AED 35, a large one AED 40, and cushion covers from AED 10. They come back in two or three days.

Leather jackets for winter evenings at the Marina, or a leather blazer for business. Jackets start at AED 150, coats and blazers at AED 130, and small leather goods cost AED 100. Allow three to five days.
