The hotel

Every bit as palatial as the name suggests, Emirates Palace is fit for royalty. Its private beach, marina and bay give an air of intimate seclusion, while the location, on the Corniche in the heart of Abu Dhabi, says otherwise. Under 114 ornate domes, each 18 metres high, this regal retreat hosts elegant guest rooms, a truly indulgent spa (we’re talking gold and caviar body and beauty treatments), and 14 restaurants, cafés, lounges and bars catering to your every whim. Even its gardens are majestic, with 85 hectares promising tranquil strolls, yoga and two swimming pools: one for relaxation and the other for fun. The crown of Emirates Palace is its dining, from the Emirati dishes and décor at Mezlai to the award-winning Mezzaluna Italian restaurant. All after starting your evening in style at the caviar and champagne bar.

Really enjoyed my stay. Lastly the spa was beyond amazing . Thank you Novi! The best therapist ever. I will definitely come back for other treatments. She knows what she’s doing. It’s so hard to find a therapist that knows what she’s doing. She knows the anatomy of the body well and her technique is uniquely amazing. Thank u Novi. Read less

Stayed with family recently and had most wonderful experience at the palace. Right from the beginning, check in was very smooth, then Mr Sheikh personally guided us to the room and explained us about the palace. In the evening again Mr Sheikh gave us a nice tour of the palace and surrounding areas on battery car. Was really mesmerised by the beauty and view of the palace. The room, layout and special evening celebration arranged by Mr Joseph was out of the world experience. Breakfast was nice.Pool and water slides were nice experience and my little one thoroughly enjoyed the time at the pool. Overall a wonderful experience and would love to stay again and again at such a beautiful place. Read less
