Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

4 stars

Southern Sun Abu Dhabi puts the city at your feet, with the Corniche close by and plenty of Abu Dhabi within easy reach. Inside, contemporary design meets subtle Arabic touches, while spacious rooms and suites start from the 10th floor. Then there’s the rooftop. Take a dip with the skyline stretching out around you, linger over drinks at Hytes Bar, or head downstairs for steaks at The Foundry and coffee at Filaments Café. And when you’re ready to see more, the hotel’s Al Zahiya location puts you in a great spot for getting out and discovering the UAE capital.
