The hotel

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.

Thank you Santosh for your amazingly attentive service with a smile ; we loved our chats with you !! Krish with your great energy & big smile & of course Alvina always smiling & upbeat - you made our daughter’s holiday extra special :) The food at the EP club was absolutely fantastic. Veronica’s evening canapés were creative & utterly delicious. The service throughout the whole hotel was impeccable. From the buggy drivers to the pool staff to the restaurant staff to security. Every single member of staff were fantastic & made our holiday special. Our daughter loved the kids palace & we had such a great time on the water slides & the lazy river. We also rode the camels on the beach & went paddle boarding & kayaking which was so much fun. This truly is a magical hotel & I cried when we left !! If you’re thinking of booking to stay here then you definitely should as it’s out of this world !! Thank you :) The Shepherds xx Read less
