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.

We were at this hotel in January. Four consecutive years. Сhic interior. But the furniture in the rooms is already worn out. GREAT BEACH. Excellent breakfasts. Service in Room - 4+. Perhaps I'll come again.

Buggies to get you around the large grounds if you dont want to walk. Beach hut BBQ at sunset was so chilled and perfect. Restaurants and bars are top notch. Have done the Friday brunch also by the pool and that has to be one of the best classiest brunches in the city. Read less

A great way to fill in 1 hour in Abu Dhabi. A beautiful hotel, gardens and cafes. We went to experience the gold dusted coffee and ice cream, because when else would we do this.

A great way to fill in 1 hour in Abu Dhabi. A beautiful hotel, gardens and cafes. We went to experience the gold dusted coffee and ice cream, because when else would we do this. It’s expensive, as expected, but worth it if you’re looking for a decadent morning or afternoon team in a high end hotel in the UAE. Make sure men and women have full length pants and shoulders covered to enter. Read less

Was a very good experience in Abu Dhabi. Usually we stay in Dubai, but this time we want to change a little bit and we had a nice surprise Furniture and design it a bit old style (classic but nothing spectacular) Services and employees = premium
