Near Khalifa Street you have Millennium and Royal Meridian - both excellent. Near the Airport you are limited to either Shangri-La or Al Raha Beach. The One to One is quite central, slightly out of the city. Sorry - i live in Abu Dhabi so cant recommend hotels in Al Ain.

For Al Ain i would use either the Hilton Or the Inter Con
The Hilton is ok nice pool and pool bar, Pacos is the bar in there.
Horse n Jockey is in the Inter Con.

The Rotana in Al Ain is great too and it has a Trader Vics restaurant.

I agree, I really like the Hilton even if it is a bit shabby round the edges. The Rotana is nice as well but it has no atmosphere :)

Would it be tacky taking germans to the nice German Brauhaus restaurant/bar at Beach Rotana Hotel in AD?

Lots and lots of pork and german beer especially on buffet nights.
