The Edition, Abu Dhabi
More photosMarriott’s EDITION, a high-end boutique concept, is globally adaptable. The overall aesthetic, blending sophisticated boutique-inspired design with true luxury hotel amenities, echoes its counterparts in locations such as New York and Milan.
Yet, the Abu Dhabi EDITION carries a distinctive local flair; even its architectural outline pays homage to the traditional ship sails of the Arabian Gulf. An exquisite spa and a coveted location near the marina enhance its allure; dining options include the Oak Room, a quintessential British steakhouse by UK chef Tom Aikens, offset by his wellness-focused Market.
Rooms at this hotel are minimalistic and peaceful. It has a very bright and airy design with a neutral color palette, which complements the ocean views. Like many hotels in the area, the Abu Dhabi Edition also offers superb massage, hammam, sauna, and jacuzzi experiences. If you want to play some golf, there is a course nearby.

Expert reviews
“Debuted in November 2018 as EDITION’s first property in the Middle East, The Abu Dhabi EDITION is a stunning microcosm of the city it inhabits. While Arabian culture and heritage are referenced prolifically throughout the property, this place is thoroughly modern and adds a dash of high-octane glamor to Abu Dhabi’s crowded hotel scene.”
“This first EDITION branded property in the Middle East sets itself apart both in its design and waterfront location. The stylish 198-room hotel is like nothing else in the capital and gets kudos for teaming up with celebrated British chef Tom Aikens, the man behind its three quality culinary concepts.”

Sofitel Corniche, Abu Dhabi
The Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche is a striking luxury hotel anchoring the Capital Plaza complex right on the city's northwest shore. Opened in 2012 as the French brand's very first property in the UAE capital, it immediately stood out for its seamless blend of European elegance and traditional Arabic hospitality.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“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.”
Southern Sun, Abu Dhabi
If you are heading to the UAE, the Southern Sun Abu Dhabi is a fantastic base camp. Located right in the bustling Al Zahiya business district, it perfectly bridges old-school Arabic elegance with sleek, contemporary design. One of the coolest architectural quirks of the building is its clever layout. To guarantee everyone gets a killer view, all 353 guest rooms and suites strictly start on the 10th floor and rise up to the 26th.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“This shiny high-rise packs in the flair of a hotel twice the price from the moment you walk into the triple-height lobby hung with swooping contemporary lamps. A fresh, modern vibe runs through the rooms with a sprinkle of Middle Eastern design touches thrown in, and there’s a buzzing social vibe throughout thanks to a bundle of popular bars and cafes.”
Yas Plaza Circuit Hotel, Abu Dhabi
Yas Plaza Circuit places you right in the pulsing heart of Abu Dhabi’s action-packed Yas Island. This vibrant, family-friendly hotel is designed with a striking, contemporary aesthetic, using bold colors and energetic, kinetic design elements that mirror the high-octane spirit of its neighbor, the legendary Yas Marina Circuit.
Lonely Planet“A little less glossy than neighboring hotels, this hotel’s neat-as-a-pin, compact rooms offer Yas Island’s most budget-conscious choice. As long as you’re not expecting trendsetting chic styling in your room (it’s all very business-neutrals here) it’s a good-value choice.”
Hotel W, Abu Dhabi
