Stylish, design-oriented space incredibly located right off the Gulf shores.

Rooms are practically Don Draper-level sleek, boasting oversized marble bathrooms & private balconies.

Spectacular architecture, spectacular location. A facade of sheer blue glass and views of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

Refined, contemporary international atmosphere in the heart of the Tourist Club part of the city. And yes, right on the water.

Nautical-inspired design is sleek and stunning. Spot-on location for easy access to Corniche Beach and a slew of shopping malls.

Close but not too close to the city centre and the airport, a contemporary spot in an upscale district.

Stunning lobby gets one-upped only by the 27th-floor rooftop pool. (It was a close call – one possibly made because we can't get tan in the lobby.)

Sleep Advantage perks range from an aromatherapy kit to uber-plush bedding — yes, please.

Snug against the Abu Dhabi waterside, part of a combined and utterly modern marina-slash-cultural destination.

Eight km off the coast - but truly a world away. Nestled in a nature reserve along sun-kissed, pristine beaches.

Studio-style setup with all the must-have home-away perks makes ya feel like an island local (if only for a night).

Covers all the standard mod cons and then some.

First, a quick tour of the highlights: large fitness centre, café terrace, and (our favesie) the rooftop pool and sauna.

Situated on a stunning stretch of private beach & surrounded by 85 hectares of lush grounds.

Prime downtown locale within walking distance of shops & restaurants.
