15 Best Hotels in Abu Dhabi | Condé Nast Traveler

"Driving up the welcome ramp to Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort almost feels though you're about to board a luxury  spaceship. This Jetsons-esque hotel nods to the future, both with its sleek and imposing glass design and its eco-conscious philosophy; examples include automatic curtains that reduce the use of air conditioning, and marine life conservation efforts. Sitting on one of the more remote stretches of Saadiyat Island, this resort has a rare environment of quiet and leisure. The wildlife thinks so too—sea turtles and other marine and coastal wildlife inhabit this protected land." - Melinda Healy
