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.

What a lovely hotel. We only stayed here for a couple of days before going to Yas Island. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our room was huge overlooking the pool & beach. Plenty of amenities. The beds were very comfortable too. We could also see the beautiful Grand Mosque. We arrived late and by the time we got sorted we could only eat at the bar. We sat outside and the staff were lovely and the food was good. We were in the Gold Lounge but unfortunately it was being renovated so we had afternoon tea near reception and snacks & drinks in the evening at Marco’s Italian. The staff were exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed. However I must say the snacks were not small and we had to cancel our dinner reservation as we were too full. The beach area is nice and again staff are attentive. There are a few restaurants to choose from. Breakfast was delicious. There was so much to choose from. We would definitely return to this hotel and recommend the Gold Lounge. Read less
