The hotel

In a prime location and boasting unrivalled views of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Fairmont Bab al Bahr is the epitome of luxury. Everything is world-class, including service, the restaurants and leisure facilities. Guest rooms are a delight, furnished in contemporary style with all mod-cons. Upgrade to a Fairmont Gold Room and you benefit from Gold service too which includes dedicated check-in/check-out and complimentary Continental breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks. There’s a health club and a beach club to explore, the former boasting state-of-the-art gym equipment, the latter, two swimming pools, one Olympic sized and beach games galore. Restaurants abound at the Fairmont, opt for the bustling atmosphere of Marco’s New York Italian, or dine in style at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill. Mazaj is probably the finest Lebanese restaurant in Abu Dhabi, serving everything from mezze to kebabs to tapas or feast on sumptuous buffet fare at CuiScene, which also hosts theme nights and the famous Fairmont Saturday Brunch.

This was my third visit to the fairmont and overall it exceeded expectations. We stayed on the Gold floor and Stephen and his team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They were very attentive and always on hand to take care of any request. The Marco Pierre White restaurant is work a mention where the food was magnificent. The only minor disappointment from the stay was being asked to pay to check in early on our day of arrival even though our room was available. I haven’t been asked to do this on my previous two visits when arriving early and not something I’d expect to have to pay for when staying on the Gold floor. Saying that I’m Hopi h to return here later this year. Read less

The food was delicious the waitress Marah was so friendly and so helpful. She helped us walk towards our table and was so kind and her intentions is to help us. The Omlet was perfectly made, the pancakes/waffles were amazing, and the fruit tasted fresh and sweet.
