Character and identity
Stretching nearly a kilometre along the western Corniche, this palatial 396-room property is Abu Dhabi's most theatrical address: 114 domes, more than 6,000 square metres of 22-karat gold leaf, and an in-house gold-leaf specialist to maintain it. Rooms (renovated in 2023) soften the opulence with cream, beige and gold palettes, marble bathrooms, Diptyque or Amouage amenities, and balconies over the Arabian Sea or gardens. Dining spans Antonio Guida's Italian at Talea, Hemant Oberoi's Martabaan, Hakkasan's Cantonese terrace, and Emirati cooking at Mezlai. A Moroccan-inspired spa, a private beach approaching a mile, and butler service for every room set the register.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and families drawn to spectacle, gold-plated grandeur and resort-scale amenities on a city stay. Active travellers will get good mileage from the watersports centre, padel and cricket facilities, four-mile running path and two pools; families have the Kids Play Zone, AquaFun Park and a beach that genuinely earns the word private.
Should look elsewhere:
Design minimalists and anyone allergic to bling will find the gold-everywhere aesthetic relentless. The lobby draws sightseeing day-trippers, so seclusion-seekers should know the public areas are busy. In-room tech can be patchy; one faulty iPad control panel was flagged at this rate.
Bottom line
The selling point is sheer scale and spectacle: nothing else in Abu Dhabi delivers this combination of palace architecture, beachfront, and a dozen serious restaurants under one roof. Spend the money if you want the full theatre; book a suite in the west wing for the space, and aim for cooler months (November to March) when the beach, pools and running path actually pay off.
