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, each with sensational views and 24-hour butler service. A truly indulgent spa (we’re talking gold body and beauty treatments), and 12 restaurants, cafés, lounges and bars serving cuisines from world-renowned chefs. Even its gardens are majestic, with 85 hectares promising tranquil strolls, yoga and two temperature controlled swimming pools: one for relaxation and the other for fun. The crown of Emirates Palace is its dining, from Arabic cuisine at Lebanese Terrace, to the award-winning Mezzaluna Italian restaurant. With many of Abu Dhabi's main attractions within a short distance, including superb shopping destinations and impressive cultural and heritage sites, Emirates Palace provides guests with the perfect place to explore the beauty and charm of the UAE's capital.

He overturned my boring stay into a fun one !!!

Just back from another wonderful 10 day family stay at Emirates Palace, in two inter-connecting rooms - first time under the Mandarin Oriental management, who delivered impeccable service throughout the duration of our holiday. A very special thank you to Gopal Bhusal, our housekeeping manager who looked after our every need, and who was fully backed up by Raja Kona, the housekeeping supervisor who with his team ensured that the rooms remained spotless and maintained to the highest standard. We enjoyed using the pools in both wings during our stay - a special thank you to Kanisha at the west wing pool who kept us supplied with refreshments throughout our stay, and Umar, Miriam, Nikhail and Koffi who attended to all our needs at the east wing pool. We dined at all the restaurants and found the dining to be first class all round. What a fantastic family holiday at this luxury resort - we can't wait to return. Read less
