The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal

Inspired by the 15th to 17th century Renaissance architecture, all 447 room and suites are beautifully designed with cream and beige hues and Italian marble giving the feel of sophistication and elegance. All rooms and suites come with the modern amenities you would expect from a 5* hotel. Located in a horse shoe shape around the main pool the rooms & suites all boast views of the Grand Canal, tropical gardens or pool. The Garden Suites are scattered within the lush grounds and have their own large terrace for extra space.

The 85 private villas come with their own butler and private check-in area. These spacious and elegant villas are perfect for those looking for more privacy and space. We love the club rooms & suites for the access to the exclusive lounge located on the top floor showing panoramic views of the Al Maqta Creek. Enjoy a personalised check-in, 5 culinary presentations consisting of breakfast, midday snacks, afternoon tea, light snacks, evening hors d’oeuvres and cordials and desserts included in your stay.

The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal boasts 8 restaurants and bars showcasing impressive extensive menus at each. Giornotte is their all day Italian restaurant with a Mediterranean flare, Mijana a contemporary Arabic restaurant and Li Jiang a Southeast Asian open kitchen style restaurant are just some of the dining options to experience with something to suit the most discerning palette. For even more dining options you must visit the Venetian Village right next to the hotel. Spanning over 20,000 square metres this Venetian inspired venue features a mixture of dining outlets from Mediterranean to Japanese. Mini souks, mud brick rooms and local bars bring lots of fun and hustle & bustle to the hotel.
