The hotel

In a prime location and boasting unrivalled views of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Fairmont Bab al Bahr is the epitome of luxury. Everything is world-class, including service, the restaurants and leisure facilities. Guest rooms are a delight, furnished in contemporary style with all mod-cons. Upgrade to a Fairmont Gold Room and you benefit from Gold service too which includes dedicated check-in/check-out and complimentary Continental breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks. There’s a health club and a beach club to explore, the former boasting state-of-the-art gym equipment, the latter, two swimming pools, one Olympic sized and beach games galore. Restaurants abound at the Fairmont, opt for the bustling atmosphere of Marco’s New York Italian, or dine in style at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill. Mazaj is probably the finest Lebanese restaurant in Abu Dhabi, serving everything from mezze to kebabs to tapas or feast on sumptuous buffet fare at CuiScene, which also hosts theme nights and the famous Fairmont Saturday Brunch.

I returned for my sisters surprise 30th birthday. The hotel was accommodating as she had booked another hotel. She was welcome to dine for a complimentary breakfast and was able to enjoy the services provided. The hotel is family-friendly and loves to celebrate and host its guests. My last stay was a solo trip, and I enjoyed it just as much. We did have an issue with the room, which was resolved speedily, and we received a goodwill gesture of dining at Cuiscene for the whole family. Read less

Amazing..Mesmerizing property....just wondering where and how to begin. I'm here in 640 accompanying my better half on an invitation meeting. The lobby is sprawling and magnificent rooms are well appointed..Rahim house keeping is great. Illiyas taught me the correct way to use steam iron...facilities created are of great quality. Reception is welcoming. The beach poolside are well maintained and clean. Now the breakfast....mind boggling..superb healthy choices..found it difficult to do justice..so asked John for a list..Jobby was kind enough to hand it over. One word one of its kind ...best breakfast..all staff at entry..table service are on their feet with great etiquettes. The other restaurants Marco...majaz.. have lot to catch up on the you attitude for a hospitality property like this... You visit them as no other choice is easy. Overall great property..must visit.
