Sofitel Corniche, Abu Dhabi

Corniche Road East, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Slap on the Corniche and packed full of facilities, you can’t really go wrong staying in the Sofitel’s large, light-filled rooms. The two rooftop pools (one kept specifically for families with wee ones) are where most guests hang out, though after dark many are tempted into Jazz & Fizz for a drink or two.”

Telegraph review:

“This well situated 280-room hotel exudes French elegance and offers sweeping views of the Gulf and city skyline. A stay at the Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche will have you experiencing five-star luxury minutes from the emirate’s popular Corniche promenade and beach.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Looking for a masterclass in supreme hospitality? Turn your gaze towards the Middle East, specifically the Arabian Peninsula. A perfect specimen of such finesse is visible at the Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche.

Indeed, this hotel’s reputation precedes it; the name ‘Sofitel’ essentially encapsulates the luxurious experience you can expect. Competing effortlessly with other luxury hotel giants, Sofitel’s distinct Art Deco style brings an artistic flair to their elegance.

This property is no exception. If you find the beds softer than usual or the sky-high views more breathtaking, remember it’s just their standard procedure in the Emirates.

While the Sofitel does not lack in recreational offerings — boasting an open-air pool, a comprehensive spa, and a six-fold selection of eateries and watering holes — it’s fundamentally designed for the corporate world.

Rest assured, the entire establishment will exceed your expectations — but for a premium experience, there’s an actual elevated portion of the hotel: the two uppermost floors house Club Millésime, a luxury club that rivals offerings from any major hotel chains.

Very good

The place was great and the cleaning and working staff like cleaning department and waiters etc were wonderful. The lady at the reception was fantastic too.

Kinda grumpy/rude potentially racist reception guy, was very stand offish and didn't provide proper information or support. Terrible image for the brand.

A memorable stay which could have been easily better had the service level been at least to the expected level.

Location and the size of the property

The drainage in bath area of washroom was defective. The room and washroom didn’t feel fresh and squeaky clean when we checked in. The room did not have room slippers & tissue box. The washroom had body wash but no loofah. The room service indeed too slow. Had to give repeated reminders to get the above sorted out.

Very relaxing stay during an amazing F1 weekend

Very friendly staff. The main pool was relaxing and nicely cool in the shade. The second pool is somewhat hidden but much warmer.

Breakfast was a bit crowded during the F1 Raceweek, but it was fine. Breakfast itself was wonderful.

Fabulous

The breakfast, the location, the fantastic city view from the room, the staff’s helpfulness

The hotel should enable re-heating food for guests. I don’t like to waste food and any hotel will just get you to sign a waiver if they re-heat food for you. Sofitel however did not enable it at all.

Great hotel but very uncomfortable bed.

Great location, attentive staff, good facilities

The bed was awful. There was a huge dent in the mattress. It had obviously been tried to be concealed as there was a mattress topper, however, never made it any more comfortable. After 9 nights, I came away with terrible back ache.

Excellent Location, Well supportive staff but room size is not upto the mark.

Excellent Location. Support Staff is too good. Specially Miss Allen of the Check in staff was too kind to us and she managed well to allot us room just before time.We appreciate support staff.

Room size has been quite small. Category wise Room size is not suitable for comfortable stay for sure.

Short stay for work.

Nice room, quite big, with the bathroom open (or not) in the room.

There was only warm water for the bath, and the shower was leaking. The valet parking staff doesn’t understand English well. And the restaurant at the pool level, the staff sees you waiting but don’t come to ask you what you want. Some people left, I went to the bar to ask if they were still serving food…

Amazing view of the wonderful Abu Dhabi corniche!

The room was clean, tidy and mattress was comfortable. The Breakfast was delicious with good verities that suits different tastes. The lobby was spacious and relaxing. The swimming pool was amazing, decently sized to allow for quite amusing time for my kids.

Nothing significant to report except for that there was no direct access to the hotel from corniche road.

Loved the room and the breakfast buffet was the highlight of our stay, food was delicious and diverse, friendly staff and we even got a late check out.

The room’s AC was leaking all night but we called to get it fixed. And the iron was outdated and leaked as well.

Very nice hotel, room was wonderful, breakfast was extremely rich, staff was very friendly, very polite and extremely helpful, everything was perfect! We will be sure staying here again during our visit to Abu Dhabi.

It was a bit hot in the corridors once you come out of the room and also in the main lift.

Great stay, thank you.

We were given an interconnected room to be with the family, upgraded to a suite and amazing friendly staff who made my wife's birthday special. The staff always have a smile and the buffet menu is amazingly good.

The room had a smell, the sofa cloth was dirty and the TV channel options for a 5 star hotel is quite poor, the bose radio system did not work nor the bluetooth.

Feels more like a 4 stars hotel

The location and breakfast were really good!

We chose the hotel to spend the night after a long flight. We requested an extra bed to be added for my 6 years old son through the reservation and through a separate message sent to the Hotel, as a reply to their welcome message and enquire if there were any special requests from our side. We arrived and the bed was not in the room. We called twice the hotel office until the bed arrived and the staff member wanted to leave it in the middle of the room. We had then to request for him to move the table and chair, so the bed could be placed by the side of our bed. A hassle which could have been easily avoided.

Really lovely room. This is not the usual type of hotel I stay in, but I splurged for 4 nights. No regrets. I'm coeliac and the staff, in particular the Chef Riza, made sure I knew which food I could and couldn't eat. It is a rare treat to have gluten free pancakes made for me every morning! Soju, at the concierge desk was incredibly helpful when I asked where to go for specific items. There are 2 pools, one in the shade and one in the sun. The latter was a bit harder to find (out maybe it was just me) so do ask the staff. It was the perfect spot to relax with a book and fresh juice

No complaints
