Would really appreciate some advice as I haven't done a "fast stop" like this before.

I'm passing through DBX next year flying Emirates Business Class.
Getting off at DBX for less than 24 hours for a couple of meetings.
It doesn't make any sense to book a Hotel I think.......

I arrive at 5:15 am. I was wondering if I can stay airside for a couple of hours to use the lounge.
Shower, breakfast etc.

I expect not.........

(Q1) So I'll need to go 'hang' somewhere for an hour or two before my first meeting. I can make that a breakfast meeting.
Any ideas?

My flight out leaves at 4:25 am the next morning.
If I'm checking in 3 hours prior (1:25 am) there is little point in staying at a Hotel and having the hassle of travelling to the Airport etc.

(Q2) I'm sure I'll be done by 3 or 4 pm with my meetings.
I was thinking it makes sense therefore to head back to the airport to freshen up and get a few hours sleep. Before getting up again at 1 am ish.
Airport Hotel?
Airport 'Sleep n Fly' lounge / pods?
Any other ideas?

Long story about why I'm there less than 24 hours, but flights got changed and I need to be in Madrid the next day.
I really just need to do a couple of 1 hour meetings and move on.

I suppose another option, I have just noticed, is Day Use.
A site where you can book Hotel rooms for day time use.........
Might make more sense.
Hang there between meetings......

I love the Emirates lounge at Concourse A! At either ends of the lounge there are some comfortable full length lounge chairs with pillow and blanket...

I would never feel comfortable (or safe) sleeping in the cavernous emirates lounges (or any lounge for that matter.)
Pre covid, just near to dbx there was an anytime hotel offering all sorts of timing arrangements
