The 15 Best Hotels in Abu Dhabi | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located on the waterfront of Al Bateen Marina in a quiet residential corner, the hotel stands out for its design-hotel aesthetic against the standard opulence of the city. The large lobby, decked out in midcentury interior design, buzzes with local travelers, tourists, and coffee meetings; rooms are clinical in their minimalism with white and wood-paneled walls, floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Al Bateen Marina and the hotel pool. Dining is a highlight: the Michelin-rated Oak Room focuses on beautiful cuts of steak served with buttery asparagus, triple-cooked chunky fries, and truffle mash, while the Library Bar's velvet seating invites late-night conversations and samplings from an experimental Tales of Cocktails menu inspired by the region." - Ann Marie McQueen, CNT Editors
