15 Best Hotels in Abu Dhabi | Condé Nast Traveler

"Sleek and extravagant, Rosewood Abu Dhabi provides a dramatic welcome, with architecture that calls to mind an undulating desert. The reflective glass exterior on the 34-story high-rise sparkles day and night; a glass-encrusted wall and water features in the lobby further the wow factor. The luxury hotel, which rose from a sandy site in 2013, continues to hold its position as the best place to stay on Al Maryah Island. As Rosewood's first foray into the UAE, this property, much like all 26 Rosewoods worldwide, epitomizes style and sophistication." - Melinda Healy
