Fantastic hotel with amazing staff. From Suity at Reception to Ivans at the concierge and Naveen in housekeeping we have been well looked after. They could not do enough for us to make our honeymoon unforgettable. From room upgrades to late check outs, the care and attention each person gives is a credit to the hotel.

I stayed in W Abu Dhabi for three nights and it was magical - I would like to thank Christine from the welcome office, she was very friendly and welcoming. I had breakfast at Garage and the service was unmatched and the food options were tasty. I would like to thank Kevin, Aziz, Aburorohed, Roshan, Saru and Augustine for their service and radiating positive energy. I also tried the In-room-dining food and it was delicious - Anil, my server was super friendly and nice. I went to the WET Deck in my 2nd and 3rd days, it’s on the top floor, the view is breathtaking and the music is electrifying - I would like thank Baba, Eric, Chit Mjn, Sajan and Anamesh. Everyone in the hotel made my stay and experience special and luxurious. Read less

The breakfast was very nice! Mr. Roshan was very helpful all the time, he was coming asking if everything is okay, if we need something else, which made us feel very welcomed. For sure we will come back very soon, and thank you so much for the service and kindness.
