Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental Abu Dhabi | Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

5+ stars

Every bit as palatial as the name suggests, Emirates Palace is fit for royalty. Its private beach, marina and bay give an air of intimate seclusion, while the location, on the Corniche in the heart of Abu Dhabi, says otherwise. Under 114 ornate domes, each 18 metres high, this regal retreat hosts elegant guest rooms, each with sensational views and 24-hour butler service. A truly indulgent spa (we’re talking gold body and beauty treatments), and 12 restaurants, cafés, lounges and bars serving cuisines from world-renowned chefs. Even its gardens are majestic, with 85 hectares promising tranquil strolls, yoga and two temperature controlled swimming pools: one for relaxation and the other for fun. The crown of Emirates Palace is its dining, from Arabic cuisine at Lebanese Terrace, to the award-winning Mezzaluna Italian restaurant. With many of Abu Dhabi's main attractions within a short distance, including superb shopping destinations and impressive cultural and heritage sites, Emirates Palace provides guests with the perfect place to explore the beauty and charm of the UAE's capital.

“Another Unforgettable Stay at Emirates Palace!”

Nov 05, 2026gail445

Another amazing stay at Emirates Palace! The whole place really is a palace, and every visit seems to get better and better. The EP Club team looked after all nine of us beautifully. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail made our stay feel incredibly special. Around the pool, Mahesh was always checking that we were happy, comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the day. Such wonderful, attentive service. A particular highlight was Sand & Koal restaurant, which was simply out of this world! Aris made sure everything ran seamlessly, leading his fantastic team Gavin and sherri who were absolutely brilliant. And then there's Chef Jack! What can we say? As always, he was absolutely exceptional. We have been fortunate enough to eat at some truly impressive restaurants around the world, but nothing quite compares to the food here. The flavours, presentation, quality and sheer attention to detail were extraordinary. Quite honestly, some of the best food we have ever tasted! Emirates Palace is spectacular in its own right, but it's the wonderful people who make it so memorable. We cannot thank everyone enough for another fabulous stay. We are already looking forward to returning!

“Our Favourite Hotel”

Nov 02, 2026Brian C

Another excellent holiday at this wonderful hotel, served by lovely people who really care about the service they provide. The property itself is lovely but it is always enhanced by the quality of the people who work there. Some very nice restaurants to choose from

“Bad experience”

Oct 30, 2026layal a

I had a really bad experience. They cleaned my room after i returned i turn the pillow i saw all makeup staines from last night the bedsheets were so dirty they didnt change them even though they saw visible stains on them they just reversed the pillows! After i complained they said i need to inform them to change the bedsheets because they are trying to be sustainable? How would a 5 star hotel see dirty staines on the bedsheets that are not even ironed and do this? This is the last time i will be staying in this hotel
