Our Opinion of Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental Abu Dhabi
Emirates Palace is one of those rare hotels that is genuinely recognisable by name alone. Originally built as a landmark for Abu Dhabi and now managed by Mandarin Oriental, it sits on its own stretch of coastline with 1.3 kilometres of private beach, multiple pools, and grounds that are as meticulously maintained as the interiors.
The scale is unmistakable. The architecture draws on traditional Arabian palace design with domes, arches and gold-leaf accents, and the public spaces are vast without feeling impersonal. Dining is a major draw, with 14 restaurants and bars ranging from casual to fine dining. The hotel has been awarded two Michelin Keys and holds a Forbes Five-Star rating, reflecting the level of service throughout.
Accommodation comprises 302 rooms and 88 suites, each with butler service, and the higher categories offer sea, garden or city views. The location is central enough to reach Abu Dhabi's cultural districts, shopping malls and the Corniche within minutes.
This is a hotel for guests who want the full statement. It suits milestone celebrations, luxury-minded travellers who appreciate service standards, and anyone looking for a hotel that is an experience in itself. It also works well for combining a city stay with easy access to Saadiyat Island's beaches and cultural attractions.
