Conrad Etihad Towers Hotel, Abu Dhabi
If you are looking for pure architectural drama in Abu Dhabi, the Conrad Etihad Towers is it. Designed by the Australian firm DBI Design, this five-tower complex looks like a cluster of sleek, curved sails rising right out of the Arabian Gulf. The hotel itself is tucked into Tower 1, combining ultra-luxury with some seriously bold engineering.
Movie buffs will instantly recognize these skyscrapers from Furious 7. In one of Hollywood’s most over-the-top stunts, Vin Diesel drives a multi-million-dollar Lykan Hypercar straight through the windows of one tower and leaps across to the next. Thankfully, daily life here is much more relaxed.
One of the coolest features is the Observation Deck at 300, located up on the 74th floor of Tower 2. It’s the highest vantage point in the city, offering 360-degree views of the Corniche and the nearby Emirates Palace. It is the ultimate spot for a sky-high afternoon tea.
Originally opening its doors as a Jumeirah property in 2011, Hilton took over management in 2020, rebranding it under their luxury Conrad name. Today, it remains a favorite for anyone wanting top-tier dining, private beach access, and a slice of modern movie history.
Expert reviews
“The lobby’s show-stopping glass wall ushers you into this exclusive cocoon where guests float from spa treatment to private beach before choosing between some of the city’s top-class restaurants and bars once the sun goes down.”
“Where it stands on the western end of the Corniche, Conrad Etihad Towers today finds itself amid a cluster of hotels. It beholds the best (and highest) views of all, and is within walking distance of some of the city’s most popular attractions, whilst being a one-stop shop for dining and shopping.”

Excellent value for money!
Staff were fantastic and the room was huge, clean and very comfortable. The small gestures in the evening room turn around were so lovely.
Walls were a little thin, heard the family next door. Windows needed cleaning as my view was amazing.

Luxury
Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers completely exceeded every expectation. From the moment you arrive, the hotel feels like a true luxury experience—not just in service, but in every single detail of its design, comfort, and atmosphere. The reception area alone is absolutely breathtaking, with its stunning see-through glass design that creates such an open, elegant, and unforgettable first impression. It’s beautifully designed in a way that gives both guests arriving and the staff an incredible surrounding view, making the entrance feel bright, grand, and architecturally impressive. The ambiance throughout the hotel is exceptional. The live pianist adds such a sophisticated and luxurious touch, creating an atmosphere that feels refined from the very beginning. The tea lounge area is equally beautiful—peaceful, elegant, and the perfect space to relax while truly appreciating the hotel’s attention to detail. Every corner reflects thoughtful luxury, from the stunning décor to the stylish, high-end furniture that feels both elegant and exceptionally comfortable. Cleanliness was absolutely outstanding. Everything was immaculate, polished, and maintained to perfection. You can instantly tell this hotel operates at an incredibly high standard, where every detail is taken care of attentively. The service was equally impressive—professional, warm, welcoming, and consistently exceptional. Every interaction felt seamless, and every need was met with genuine care. The swimming pool area was another standout feature. Despite Abu Dhabi’s heat, the poolside environment felt incredibly comfortable and completely well-managed in terms of temperature. We didn’t feel hot at all—it was breezy, refreshing, and enjoyable the entire time, which made relaxing by the pool feel effortless and luxurious rather than overwhelming. And the buffet… absolutely the best. This was not just a buffet; it was a true luxury dining experience.

Enjoyed the stay at Conrad
Excellent breakfast. Cleanliness of rooms and common area. Decent restaurent choices and a nice bar on 62nd level. Loved the view and ambiance of the bar and services by staff.
Our stay was at level 3. A room at a higher level for the view would have been better.

Excellent quality service
I had an outstanding experience, and I can confidently say that a 5-star rating is simply not enough to reflect the level of service I received. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. A special mention goes to the receptionist, Lory, who truly made a lasting impression. Her welcoming attitude, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire experience exceptional. She handled everything smoothly and made me feel valued and comfortable right away. Customer service like this is rare to find—efficient, friendly, and sincerely dedicated. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-quality service. Truly beyond 5 stars!

Great hotel, polite staff, clean environment. The only downside is a restaurant with live music that’s very loud no matter if you’re at the pool or on the beach, you’ll hear it.

It was incredibly worthwhile!
Everything was incredible especially the warm service of the staff. Ms. Khin deserves a perfect score for her natural charm and hospitality. The complimentary birthday cake was delish and so as the buffets! All in all, it was a very very great stay and can't want to go back there again! 🥹💛✨
I just hope we can experience the Observation Deck since it was close for safety purposes. At least something to look forward on our next stay with you! 🫶🏻

Fantastic hotel, excellent service - definitely returning!
Service and staff were truly exceptional. Breakfast was wide ranging to suit different requirements and tastes- something for everyone. Pool/lounger area was well designed for families and couples - different areas so there was quiet as well as ‘noisier’ areas. Rooms were generously proportioned and modern - well maintained and exceptionally clean. We had a double and twin interconnecting rooms on 43rd floor for a family of 5. Phenomenal views overlooking the sea. Sushisamba is next door - worth booking in advance so as not to disappoint. Also tried 3Fils (very very good) and Hakkasan at Emirates Palace which was underwhelming. If looking for a base to explore all of Abu Dhabi and try various restaurants - any go wrong. If you prefer to stick around beach/theme parks, Yas Island or Saadiyat might be better. We will definitely be returning.
Wait times for lifts can be a bit long but the hotel was fully booked so not entirely surprising.

Great vacation
Very friendly staff The room was amazing (we had a residence so a living room + 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms) The pool area and beach were really nice Lots of choices to eat
The staff at the restaurants wasn't always well organized: at breakfast, almost daily the plates, cutlery, or bowls at the different buffet stations were missing and we had to ask for them. The hot drinks took forever to be delivered Almost every day there was an event that prevented us to use the main restaurant next to the pool (which had a broader international menu than the bar pool)
