Ritz-Carlton debuts in the UAE capital

THE 532-key Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal opened its doors on Tuesday, with facilities catering to both leisure and business travellers.

Inspired by 15th to early 17th century Renaissance architecture and the urban planning of the city of Venice, the hotel is located at the waterfront and consists of ten stately buildings arranged in a crescent formation.

Beautifully manicured lawns, unique water features and private beaches are some of the many highlights of the luxury property, which overlooks a 1,600m2 pool and is backed by the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

“We are delighted to open our first hotel in the United Arab Emirates capital of Abu Dhabi, a city we have waited to be in until finding absolutely the right location,” said Herve Humler, president and COO of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, in a press statement.

Guests can choose to stay in rooms, suites or villas with one and two bedrooms, spacious outdoor terraces, separate arrival palazzo and private butler service.

The Ritz-Carlton Club Level provides a dedicated concierge, private check-in and five F&B offerings throughout the day within an exclusive lounge boasting panoramic views of the property, canal and city skyline.

Event planners can utilise the hotel’s 1,550m2 Roma Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 900 guests and is divisable by three. There are also two expansive marble foyers with natural daylight, 14 meeting rooms and a traditional majlis.

Other facilities include 10 restaurants and bars, including three signature restaurants created by award-winning Japanese designer Super Potato.
