The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal

Rooms

The hotel offers a variety of comfortable rooms and opulent suites spread out across the main building. Decor is elegant and modern throughout, with both Arab and Italian influences visible in the rich textiles and intricate artwork. All offer spacious marble bathrooms, and balconies or terraces where you can sit and admire the views over the beach, manicured gardens, or the Grand Mosque.

For extra space, you could stay in one of the luxurious two- or three-bedroom villas on the grounds, which have separate living and dining areas, kitchenettes, and plunge pools on their large private terraces.
