The hotel

Every bit as palatial as the name suggests, Emirates Palace is fit for royalty. Its private beach, marina and bay give an air of intimate seclusion, while the location, on the Corniche in the heart of Abu Dhabi, says otherwise. Under 114 ornate domes, each 18 metres high, this regal retreat hosts elegant guest rooms, each with sensational views and 24-hour butler service. A truly indulgent spa (we’re talking gold body and beauty treatments), and 12 restaurants, cafés, lounges and bars serving cuisines from world-renowned chefs. Even its gardens are majestic, with 85 hectares promising tranquil strolls, yoga and two temperature controlled swimming pools: one for relaxation and the other for fun. The crown of Emirates Palace is its dining, from Arabic cuisine at Lebanese Terrace, to the award-winning Mezzaluna Italian restaurant. With many of Abu Dhabi's main attractions within a short distance, including superb shopping destinations and impressive cultural and heritage sites, Emirates Palace provides guests with the perfect place to explore the beauty and charm of the UAE's capital.

Especially Ms. Ann was an excellent staff to make us feel as VIP guest. Definitely we want to be back soon with our grandsons. Abu Dhabi was also a great place to experience many cultures and attractions such as Sea Word, WB, Ferrari world and luxury shopping, etc. Emirate Palace MO was one of our best experiences. We enjoyed our wedding anniversary trip so much. President palace was excellent place to see Arabian high-end culture. Luvre Abu Dhabi was also great. Future Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will be the reason to visit Emirates Palace MO. Thanks again to Ann & other staff of Emirates Palace MO. I am looking forward to being back soon. Read less

The surroundings, facilities and buildings are absolute luxury and the manner in which the staff treat guests is exceptional. I am a returning guest and my stay was wonderful, and so peaceful. I really was treated like royalty. Huge thanks to Ali and Supun in housekeeping. The staff in Vendome are terrific and the food is very varied and interesting. Luci, Rudra, Abdullah, Usnam, Praveen, Prakash and Cristina were absolutely terrific. I have travelled world and have never received such excellent service. The ladies who greeted me every day in Vendome were so kind and welcoming. And a special mention to Mirian and Koffi who looked after me so well down by the poolside. It was a pleasure to meet them all. Many thanks to Blair and Ciara as well. Read less

This is the best summer camp you can find in Abu Dhabi. It’s one of the most expensive one but it’s totally worth it. The main reason for me keep sending my son to this camp is their amazing staff. They are so professional and organized yet very friendly and excellent with kids. They encouraged my son to try different activities that I wouldn’t think he is able to do. I will be honest here, I think they r way better than many teachers working in international schools. Shout out to Aziz, Ali Akbor, Kris, Hernan, Srimal, Mizar and Tash! Thanks so much for taking good care of my son and giving him the best summer camp experience!! Read less
