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.

It was big, looks luxurious. But that’s all. The biggest issue was big variance in staff quality. One or two excellent staffs I expect in MO. Many others were not trained properly or not at all. I have been to MO Tokyo, HK, NY and SF. Worst MO experiences ever!

After a recommendation, we decided to book an afternoon tea and we were not disappointed. Both Dino & Phyn made us feel welcome and were attentive to our every need. I have a gluten allergy and was a bit nervous about the quality of the food, but I had nothing to worry about as it was truly delicious and I didn’t feel like I was missing out, with my alternatives. I would suggest if you are thinking of booking then definitely do as I’m sure you also will be pleased that you did so. Read less
