"Arriving at Beach Rotana always feels hectic; after all, the hotel is next door to Abu Dhabi Mall. But once the keys are handed over, or the taxi fare is paid, it's smooth sailing. The lobby atrium makes quite a statement, one that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle outside. Rooms are a bit on the small side for Abu Dhabi. But even though they feel compact, small terraces can offer views of an estuary leading into the Gulf, as well as the sparkling Louvre Abu Dhabi beyond." - Melinda Healy
