DXB business lounge, multiple entries on long layover

[umberloidster]

I'm eyeing a MEL-DXB-AMS redemption in J on Emirates metal.

One of the flight options has a 23hr layover which I'm thinking might be a good way of breaking up the trip and attempting to conquer jetlag.

Assuming I take this flight and book into the airside hotel at DXB, will I be able to enter and reenter the Business lounge multiple times?

I won't be heading landside during this layover.

No, not eligible. As I understand it, you need to be on the shortest possible connection time and I'm kind of deliberately picking the longest connection time.

23hr layover would see me at least going out rather than staying airside, worst case I would be hitting the Holiday Inn which is very reasonable, doesn’t sell rooms in 3hr blocks compared to airside.
