Sofitel Corniche, Abu Dhabi
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.”

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.

Pleasant, good service.
We found the interior of the whole hotel very dark. It came over as depressed. Also by opening the door you immediately bumped into the closet. Breakfast and Diner was good. Personnel good be more smiling.
The color of the interior should change from dark brown to the UAE color’s of light brown ( dessert sand), light blue (sky), dark blue ( water of Arabian Gulf ) and White ( peache )

Great place
Everything was excellent. The food and service at the p.8 floor restaurant were excellent. Admina nd reception staff have been amazing. Recommended.
The only issue we had was with housekeeping. One day they forgot to make up our room entirely, the next day they forgot to put 2 bath towels, and the following day they omitted to put face towels. Otherwise all good.

Overall a nice time but expected a bit more for the 5 star hotel.
The staff was friendly and accommodating. 24 hrs front desk. Spa was very nice I received a great massage.
The room could have been cleaner when I first checked in. There is no mini bar which was unexpected. Windows everywhere were very dirty and it really killed the views.

Veey comfortable hotel with amazingly friendly staff a very comfo
The location of the hotel was very good - close to the Corniche Beach and also 10 min drive to Emirates Palace, Qasar al Watan palace and also close to Louvre. I liked the facilities of the hotel- the spa, the pool with amazing sunset views and jacuzzi and very friendly staff - from the pool and restaurant- i would mention Shafi who was great. There was also a hair salon with manichiure etc right next to the spa which for me felt great. And The room was spacious with amazing view over the sea and the breakfast was amazing. Overall, the highlight was definitely the staff who was very friendly and handled professionally any request of any kind or any situation.

Overall good experience, however it’s not value for money!
Excellent Location Wonderful Breakfast Parking Access & Valet
flexibility and willing to help were missing at the receptionist side. Bathroom is a miss without embedded water access
