I would like to thank all the staff at W Abu Dhabi and in particular the Concierge, Ivan who helped me find my passport that I had lost.

We just have to give a huge shoutout to Aziz at the W Hotel Abu Dhabi—he turned our mornings into the highlight of the trip! Right when we walked in, he welcomed us with the friendliest smile and made us feel truly welcomed. He was super attentive, remembered our coffee preferences, and even steered us toward the best dishes on the buffet. We were traveling with our 5-month-old, and Aziz was so kind and thoughtful with the baby—it really meant a lot to us and made breakfast feel relaxed and enjoyable. His warm, positive attitude made every morning brighter. Thank you, Aziz, for your amazing service! Read less
