Marina - Al Bateen - W35 - Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates Get directions

"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

"Its exteriors reference the sails of the local traditional ships, while its interiors are ultra-chic with the EDITION signature palette found across the venue. Make use of the spa and its bespoke amenities while your there. We recommend pampering yourself a little before heading out to feast at the Food Festival, located only eight minutes away." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Dressed like a smart London club, all wood and leather – but with the music turned up loud – Oak Room is all about meat. Steaks, largely from the USA and Australia, come in various cuts and are accompanied by a large selection of sides; don’t miss the triple cooked chips. Sunday roasts are popular and there’s a wide variety of other dishes on offer too, from fish and chips to burgers." - Michelin Inspector

"Considered one of the country’s most spectacular hotels, this modern marvel appears in The MICHELIN Guide’s Abu Dhabi hotel selection." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"A sleek, minimalist waterfront hotel at the Al Bateen marina, the property features 198 light-filled rooms in neutral tones with herringbone oak floors inspired by local basket weaving. The timber-paneled Oak Room by Tom Aikens serves a meat-centric menu popular with local carnivores, while the lobby combines simple, sultry styling with an aerial kinetic glass sculpture by Studio Drift. Amenities include a ground-floor pool with private cabanas and olive trees for relaxed afternoons." - Nicola Chilton
