Marvel at spectacular city and Gulf views from your room above Abu Dhabi. Our modern hotel is within 10 minutes of the Presidential Palace and features a 74th floor observation deck, 12 award-winning restaurants and bars, and a full spa with 13 treatment rooms. We offer over 10,000 sq. ft. of event space, three outdoor pools, and a private beach.

A huge room with a fantastic view, robe, slippers, welcome fruit bowl, and Macrons. The evening buffet and breakfast were exceptional and not overly busy. Food from all over the world, nicely presented and replenished frequently. Very relaxed atmosphere and no rush to move you out. Lovely waiting staff, although the grill chef was a little grumpy. Pool areas were good, although very busy. Beach was small but quieter, and a nice touch giving free water and a cooler box. The reception area very impressive and was checked in by a very lovely Lucy, who I must say has an amazing memory. Girls handing out coffee and treats also very nice.
