If you’re looking for a little urban escapism this summer, all roads lead to The Abu Dhabi EDITION. This sleek and contemporary enclave in Al Bateen Marina has all the trappings of a minimalist yet homely hotel, all gorgeous wood finishings, soft neutral tones, and a refined yet laid-back atmosphere. Book The Suite Escape offer to wake up in one of its stunning suites, followed by a healthy breakfast a Market at EDITION, the light-filled lobby restaurant.
You’ll also be gifted Dhs350 credit to spend on food and drink, early check-in at midday and late check-out at 2pm. If you fancy treating yourself to a little brunch too, you have two rather fabulous options. First is the award-winning Writer’s Block Brunch at the hotel’s speakeasy Library Bar, which takes place every Friday from 7pm. It’s a cool and casual affair, with crafted cocktails inspired by some of the greatest works of literature, like Ulysses and Great Expectations.
Feasting to the sound of mellow in-house DJ beats, you’ll work your way through four different menu chapters, starting with cheese and cold cuts, moving on to beef tartare and kale salad, followed by Wagyu sliders, and ending with indulgent profiteroles. On Saturdays and Sundays, the brunch fun moves to Market at EDITION with its Social Brunch, with a three-course tasting menu – think potato and cheese croquettes, spiced chicken taquitos and bresaola pizza – washed down with cocktails and wines.
