Excellent Hotel, well placed for the Golf and midway between Yaz Island and the City Great rooms overlooking the Mosque with quality staff and service to match. Good choice of restaurants with other options and mall within minutes. Top Class More

To be honest our stay at the Fairmont was as good as we have experienced. We stayed in a Gold room with a Mosque view for five nights and as others have said the extra amount paid is really worth it. The staff just can't do enough for you and they are so polite and want to help, which is... More

We stayed 4 nights at the Fairmont, I had booked a Gold room with view of the Mosque after reading the comments here. Due to a lengthy flight delay from London we did not arrive until 6am. The staff were very welcoming and directed us to our room immediately. The room had a King Bed which was fantastic, particularly so... More

This hotel has a modern, sleek design with a beautiful lobby area. The design of the building is very different to the majority of 'faux arabian' hotels you'll find in the region and the shiny, minimalist European style might not be to everyone's taste. I loved it though. The rooms are thoughtfully laid out with big desk areas and wide,... More

We stayed 6 nights in the Fairmont and had a fabulous time. We upgraded to a Gold room on arrival and this was a great decision as it allowed us complimentary food and alcaholic drinks in the evenings which we estimated saved us a significant amount versus purchasing alcohol in the bars. We asked for a Mosque view room and... More

Spent two nights at this wonderful hotel and it lives up to where Fairmont want to position their brand. The hotel itself is relatively new and positioned about halfway between Abu Dhabi airport and downtown and not too far from the Yas island complex where the F1 Grand Prix is staged. We drove from Dubai and while it was an... More

Arriving to Abu Dhabi on a 2 day transit at 4am I took a ride to Bab Al Bahr. Approaching it from the distance, whilst it was still dark, I could see the beautiful lights on the front of the building spelling out their shape.. Met by exceptional service, the staff were so happy to accommodate me on my ridiculously... More

Tried for the first time with recommendation, it is fantastic. Food at the pool is great, service is nice too. The pool is nicely warm, and the beach is clean. The food service is fast and efficient around the pool, the menu is well designed. I had a great conversation with the Jr Sous Chef Eric Turgeon who passed by... More

We stayed here in January 2011 for 3 nights and enjoyed it very much. Fairmont is very fresh and well maintained. We booked the Gold Rooms - had a small additional cost but got us great rooms on 8. floor with access to Gold lounge on 7th floor. We enjoyed great service, breakfast, afternoon tea and drinks in the evening... More
