Luxury personified, The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal, just steps away from the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, is set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens, overlooking a pristine stretch of private beach and one of the largest pools in the destination. Inspired by early Renaissance architecture, every room is nothing less than sheer bliss with gorgeous views of the illustrious Grand Canal and stately gardens from your private balcony. Enjoy a day by the canal or relax by the grand pool, soaking up the sun in peace. If you’re travelling with kids, they’ll have the time of their lives at the Ritz Kids Club, with activities galore including face painting and treasure hunts. Between the swimming pool and the beach is also the Splash Park, try and drag them from that if you can! A very special venue, you’ll feel extra special as a member of The Ritz-Carlton Club, which combines intimacy, comfort and exclusivity with personalised service and attention to detail. Rooms on the Club Level enjoy The Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge offering a continuous steam of culinary offerings throughout the day, complimentary Internet access and international magazines and newspapers – helping to make your stay a supremely memorable one. Also memorable is the hotel’s choice of restaurants and bars– eight to be exact. The four main restaurants feature cuisine from around the world. Mijana, an Arabic -Lebanese restaurant designed by the famous designer Super Potato from Japan. For seafood and steak, The Forge is stylish and contemporary or feast on Southeast Asian delights either indoor or in an outdoor lounge with majestic views of the mosque at Li Jiang. Less formal dining includes the all-day dining restaurant Giornotte, built to resemble a classic Italian villa, or Al Fresco Pool and Beach Restaurant with a variety of dishes, healthy salads and cocktails, as well as Dolce providing healthy snacks.

Delicious food and great ambience. We sat outside to enjoy the air and the garden. Saber was the boss and helped us order great dishes. We had the cold mezze platter and shared a shawarma with my husband. We finished with a yummy Baklava. Dont leave without ordering this! Enjoy your meal!

Like many on here I have been extremely privileged to have stayed in some wonderful hotels all over the World. The RC in Abu Dhabi is certainly Special. Firstly the hotel was bigger than I had realised but this most certainly didn’t take away from the most amazing personal service that every single member of staff seemed to have ooze out of them so naturally that it seemed like you were in a much smaller hotel. The staff were all literally amazing for our entire stay, the food in every restaurant was fantastic and the Club room we had really was so quiet, beautiful & furnished with luxury, top end items that we did not want to leave! Thank you Ritz Carlton and all of your amazing staff for such a relaxing and memorable stay. We’ll definitely be back!
