Marriott Hotel Downtown, Abu Dhabi

ELLE Spa – Spa Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"What’s the vibe at this place? More everyday than ultra-luxe, ELLE Spa—the first for the magazine brand—offers a dose of Parisian flair that's more affordable than some of the city's other spas. It's centrally located and offers some of the best views of the city from its perch on the 24th floor of the Marriott Downtown. Take us into the room. How was the session itself? Treatment rooms are simple but comfortable, and the therapists are thorough but not over-the-top. Music is soft and relaxing, and scents are soothing. What about after the treatment? The views of the city are worth sticking around for; post-treatment relaxation rooms are stocked with loungers, tea and light refreshments. What do they do best here, then? And how can we make sure we get the most out of it? This is a great spa for those looking for convenience at the right price, especially if you're more interested in the treatments themselves, than extravagant surrounds." - Melinda Healy
