Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi

Originally built as a Palace for the Royal Family, the hotel opened its doors for guests to enjoy in 2005. The building reflects the different shades of the Arabian Desert and in total the Emirates Palace boasts 394 rooms across the main building and two wings spreading out from each side of the central Palace house. Each room and suite is a masterful blend of Arabian regal splendour and cutting edge technology, an oasis where every possible guest need has been anticipated and exceeded.

Enjoy two temperature controlled swimming pools featuring a lazy river, cascading waterfalls and two water flumes which children love! Adults can relax by the pool for a quiet setting with a large Jacuzzi and swim up bar. The Emirates Palace Spa will instantly relax you and ignite a sense of balance and serenity with the biggest Hamman in the UAE. Young Princes and Princesses can escape to the Kids Palace for a fun day of yoga, music, craft experiences and astronomy spread out over three floors or even be pampered in the Kid’s beauty salon. Guests can also experience traditional Arabian hospitality with local coffee, tea and dates in a typical Bedouin tent followed by a camel ride along the white sandy beach. Explore the Corniche area by foot or cycle along the coast path and stop off at many cafes and shops along the way.
