Some of the best of what the UAE’s capital has to offer is at your fingertips when staying at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal. Spread across the banks of picturesque Al Maqta Creek, the 23-ha waterfront hotel is a grand, Italian Renaissance-inspired retreat.
Facilities include the 1,600-sqm swimming pool, lush olive groves overlooking the nearby Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and exceptional restaurants filling Venetian Village offering international dining in an al fresco setting. The hotel’s elegance is mirrored throughout its 447 guest rooms and 85 private villas, which vaunt sumptuous furnishings in rich colours, spacious balconies and terraces with peaceful garden and water views, and luxurious amenities.
While it may be hard to tear yourself away from The Ritz-Carton’s comforts, the hotel makes it easy to explore the surrounding Al Maqta Creek area and Eastern Mangroves, including Souk Qaryat Al Beri, with a traditional abra boat. Minutes away, explore the remarkable Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in a private or group tour, learning about the rich Emirati heritage and set off at sunset as the sky glows beyond the hotel and Grand Mosque, a postcard-perfect sight.
Visit now and take advantage of the “Intrigue You” package (from AED1,150 per night), in a Deluxe Room, Club Room, Executive Suite or One-Bedroom Villa with complimentary perks that include a daily buffet breakfast at classic Italian villa-styled Giornotte restaurant, local calls and valet parking. And with a third night free when you book two nights, you can be assured of all the relaxation and time you need for an indulgent getaway.
