What To Look For in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi does not have a single face — it has many, each with its own horizon. Along the Corniche and across Saadiyat Island, the city's finest hotels turn the view into the main argument: white sands dissolving into the Persian Gulf, yacht-dotted marinas, a skyline that ignites at dusk, and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque's dome holding its place on a golden horizon. What unites them all is the conviction that where you sleep should be, in itself, a reason to travel.

Hotel Views: A Visual Tour

Beach & Sea

More restrained yet equally breathtaking, the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and VillasPark Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and VillasBooking.comExpediaHotels.com positions its villas and suites between the golden desert and the turquoise Gulf, with infinity pools that dissolve into the horizon. The Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island ResortJumeirah at Saadiyat Island ResortBooking.comExpediaHotels.com pairs ocean-view suites with private-pool villas, just ten minutes from the Louvre Abu Dhabi — culture and sea at equal distance.

The Mosque View

Some views stay with you. The Shangri-La Qaryat Al BeriShangri-La Qaryat Al BeriBooking.comExpediaHotels.com may be the only hotel in the world where you can sit on the bar terrace, drink in hand, and watch the illuminated domes of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque reflect on the waters of Khor Al Maqta. Gondolas drift through private waterways, palm-lined paths lead to shaded pools, and the scent of oud drifts through the air — an experience that is unmistakably Arabian in spirit and cosmopolitan in every detail.

Skyline & Marina

The Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah IslandFour Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah IslandBooking.comExpediaHotels.com rises at the island's edge with 200 Gulf-facing rooms and sunset cocktails at the Eclipse Terrace.
