Luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi

When choosing luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi, I would first decide how to spend the days.

The hotels

Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi

Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas

I would leave several mornings for the beach and pools at Park Hyatt, choosing the room for the hours I plan to spend outdoors. For a trip centred on outings along the Corniche, I would prefer a city address.

Why choose it:
Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi
Who for:
couples and families

Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi

The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort

The St. Regis makes sense for returning from the beach to a different dinner table each evening. If I mainly wanted quiet hours in the room, I would choose another resort while the works continue.

Why choose it:
Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi

What the Lumi are New hotels in Abu Dhabi: Saadiyat, the canal and a private island

Emirates Palace gives you the palace and its gardens, while Park Hyatt and St. Regis put you on Saadiyat’s beach.

Before you book

What would I ask for with children?

Family Deluxe Sea View3 joins 2 rooms across 110 m². Ask for the bed arrangement for your children’s ages and the total for everyone. Kids Palace4 welcomes ages 10 months to 12 years: have the hours, supervision and price added to the quote if you intend to use it.

What would I have written into the rate?

I would ask for breakfast, cancellation and every tax or service charge in the room1 total. If the beach is the main reason for coming, also ask which beach you will use on your dates and which wing makes the most convenient base.
