Top 10 Best Hotels Abu Dhabi’s
Abu Dhabi
used to be a cheap destination. Today it ranks among the most expensive cities
for living in the world. Luxury here, however, is much more affordable for
visitors than many imagine, and few cities in the world offer such comfort at
such prices.
Package
deals, seasonal discounts, fierce competition between hotels plus the recent
economic downturn has made bargain-bagging a reality. To combat the plummeting
visitor numbers, top-ranked hotels are presently offering discounts of up to
65%.
With hotels
competing fiercely to offer the most extravagant facilities - ranging from
lavish spas and private water parks, to fine dining and shopping malls, and
with the city’s licensing laws limiting the sale of alcohol to bars, clubs and
restaurants inside hotels, many visitors end up spending most of their time in
their hotels. For many, the hotel ends up forming a highlight of their holiday,
so it’s a good idea to choose carefully. Here’s a ‘Top 10’ to suit all budgets.
Top 10 Hotels
1 ) Emirates Palace, West Corniche
Abu Dhabi's
answer to Dubai’s iconic Burj Al-Arab, the Emirates Palace awards itself seven

specially-imported white sand, and a private water park.

size and neo-Moorish in design, the ultra-chic Shangri-La rivals the Emirates
