The hotel

In a prime location and boasting unrivalled views of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Fairmont Bab al Bahr is the epitome of luxury. Everything is world-class, including service, the restaurants and leisure facilities. Guest rooms are a delight, furnished in contemporary style with all mod-cons. Upgrade to a Fairmont Gold Room and you benefit from Gold service too which includes dedicated check-in/check-out and complimentary Continental breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks. There’s a health club and a beach club to explore, the former boasting state-of-the-art gym equipment, the latter, two swimming pools, one Olympic sized and beach games galore. Restaurants abound at the Fairmont, opt for the bustling atmosphere of Marco’s New York Italian, or dine in style at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill. Mazaj is probably the finest Lebanese restaurant in Abu Dhabi, serving everything from mezze to kebabs to tapas or feast on sumptuous buffet fare at CuiScene, which also hosts theme nights and the famous Fairmont Saturday Brunch.

A fantastic hotel with breathtaking views of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, especially at sunset. The staff are incredibly professional, attentive, and always eager to assist. Spacious rooms, great dining options, and a perfect location make this a top choice for both leisure and business travelers. Highly recommended!

Came here for the Meadfa conference. Got upgraded to a lovely room. The service is outstanding. Fairmont bab al bahar is a class apart. I also lost my AirPods during breakfast. A lovely person whose is Mr maktoum had kept it safely for me and throughout the trip was truly 5 star. Elisha at checkout gets a special mention

Dani was great! And overall experience was superb. Thank you for the hospitality and food as always. P.s having me write 200 words is too much and now I'm just filling it with words so I can continue. As I speak my friend is waiting for me to go so bye.

We booked Fairmont Gold for the second time and were not disappointed - the staff were very friendly and attentive - Rajan, Al Fam and Eve really looked after us and always had a smile on their face. Rooms were spacious, the chef made fabulous omelets for breakfast, loved the private beach and pool bar….we also booked a table at Marco Pierre White’s steak restaurant which didn’t disappoint - every member if staff was super friendly, we loved it and will book again. We also booked a desert safari with desert adventures - our driver Shejeer was great fun. Read less
