The fairmont competes with many outstanding hotels in the UAE, and one could easily choose some of the best in Dubai, which is not far away. If you are staying in Abu Dhabi, however, I recommend this hotel for all the reasons I note in my title. In brief, it has it all, and all is first rate. More

The property is very new, chic designed and well furbished. We stayed in a Fairmont view room which able to see the Sheikh Zayed Mosque right opposite to the creek, but not a good idea to take picture in room as their glass frame wall makes the lights green. Spacious bathroom with double sinks so two of us can tidy... More

The hotel is incredible. We stayed for 2 nights as we wanted to get out of Dubai for half-term. The hotel was recommended to us by friends and we are glad we listened to them. The overall hotel package is perfect. We stayed in a gold room overlooking the creek and Sheikh Zayed Mosque. As a Fairmont President's Club member... More

This hotel is fantastic. We loved the daring design, modern, luxurious and brandnew rooms, glorious pool and poolbar, all against the dramatic backdrop of the enormous mosque (definitely worth the visit by the way, even if you have to brave the scorching heat in a long black dress to get in like I did). We were most of all impressed... More

I stayed here for 7 nights to get away from the dreadful English weather. This is a really well run and efficient hotel. The service on the Club Floor and around the pool area was some of the best I have experienced. A special mention for Coco in the Restaurant Area - he made all the difference! The rooms are... More

This is one of the best hotels that we have stayed at. New and beautiful rooms and amenities. The restaurants are excellent, the service wonderful. The beach is comfortable and pleasant -- not the Bahamas, but pretty much as good as can be expected in Abu Dhabi. I have attended conferences here and the facilities were great. More

What a beautiful hotel. Stunning, overlooking the mosque & just beautifully furnished. We stayed for 2 nights & had a beautiful room overlooking the river & Abu Dhabi's Mosque. Magnificent. The room is luxurious & beautifully appointed. We upgraded upon arrival & had access to the executive floor which allowed for private dining, breakfast, etc. My only advise to women... More

This hotel really does provide great service,from the chap who delivers your luggage to the restaurant staff everything is done with a smile. I had a room facing the creek this time which provides a fantastic view. The room was very modern in design and had very comfortable beds. The hotel provides a good choice of bars and restaurants giving... More
