Marvel at spectacular city and Gulf views from your room above Abu Dhabi. Our modern 1 MICHELIN Key hotel is within 10 minutes of the Presidential Palace and features a 74th floor observation deck, 12 award-winning restaurants and bars, and a full spa with 13 treatment rooms. We offer over 10,000 sq. ft. of event space, three outdoor pools, and a private beach. Odu to Quiet Luxury: A Symphony of Small Gestures Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers Check-in was seamless—swift, warm, gracious. The kind of welcome that doesn’t feel rehearsed but felt. The bellboys, almost choreographed by instinct, guided me not just with my luggage, but with presence. No fuss, no fanfare—just flow. You don’t arrive at a hotel—you arrive into ease. And in that first moment, I realised—true hospitality isn’t about arrival. It’s about how gently the world opens when you are truly seen. Sunita, my room attendant, left a handwritten note: “It is my pleasure to take care of your room. I hope this stay brings you joy and comfort. I am at your service.” But it wasn’t just the note. She placed a glass cloth beside my spectacles—something no hotel, in all my 30 years of travel, had ever done. That’s not routine. That’s ritual. That’s a poem, stitched into cloth. Then came the sea. On the second day, I returned to the beach—hungrier, slower, softer. Young, diverse boys moved with the rhythm of the wind, adjusting umbrellas before I even noticed the sun, offering water with wordless grace. One of them, Philippe from Chile, has called this place home for four years. He carries the quiet pride of someone who loves what they do. When he saw I hadn’t eaten, he gently suggested something light, something kind to the moment—no menu, no push—just care. Later that evening, Aamir, gentle and perceptive, arranged a visit to the 74th-floor observation deck—not just for the view, but the story waiting there. In the lift, I met Marco Polo, yes—his real name—who operates it with the poise of someone who’s seen many departures and arrivals. Born in the Philippines, he had traced his roots back to Italy—a man between geographies, like many of us. The 46-second ride to the top—one of the longest I’ve ever felt in a closed chamber—held a silence of a different kind. Not sharing these moments is the other side of the coin of romance and loneliness.

Located on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, overlooking its own private natural bay, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi is situated on 1.3 km stretch of private beach. The silver, gold and glass mosaics décor is evocative of Arabia’s rich history of hospitality. This luxury accommodation, with the latest technology and 12 food and beverage outlets to choose from during your stay, offers guests the very best of new and old world charm. Not a frequent traveller by any means but I've stayed at some very nice locations and The Emirates Palace is easily my favourite so far. The building, the beach, the pool, the restaurants and exceptional staff. 10/10 absolutely no doubt. The concierge team helped with me quite complex plans ahead of time and executed everything perfectly.
