A true icon of Arabian grandeur and modern sophistication, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi stands as one of the Middle East’s most legendary luxury landmarks. Nestled along the city’s Corniche waterfront, overlooking the shimmering Arabian Gulf, the palace spans over 100 hectares of lush gardens, palm-lined avenues, and private beachfront. Originally opened as Emirates Palace, the property was reimagined under the Mandarin Oriental brand in 2022, combining majestic Arabic architecture with the group’s refined contemporary sensibility. The hotel features 390 rooms and suites, each crafted from marble, gold leaf, and mother-of-pearl, with grand domed ceilings, intricate geometric motifs, and sumptuous fabrics that evoke timeless opulence. Many suites offer private terraces and dedicated butler service, with views across the Gulf or the palace’s manicured gardens.
Dining is a celebration of global gastronomy: Hakkasan, a Michelin-starred restaurant, presents modern Cantonese cuisine; Talea by Antonio Guida offers authentic handmade Italian dishes; Martabaan by Hemant Oberoi reinterprets classic Indian flavors with artistic flair; and Vendôme serves lavish international buffets in a bright, elegant setting. Guests can unwind at The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, a serene retreat blending Arabian wellness traditions with Oriental therapies, featuring private treatment suites, a traditional hammam, and tranquil sea-view lounges. The hotel also offers two outdoor swimming pools, a 1.3-kilometer private beach, a marina, and a kids’ adventure park. With its breathtaking architecture, world-class service, and the signature warmth of Mandarin Oriental hospitality, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi is more than a hotel, it is a royal sanctuary that unites culture, art, and modern luxury in perfect harmony.
