Lonely Planet "With a central location and attractively furnished comfortable rooms, there is much to recommend. ... There are more bars and nightclubs in the hotel than one could visit in a month of Thursdays."

The 17th-floor disco attracts all comers and as such it may be preferable to avoid sleeping on the 16th floor.
DK Eyewitness "With several bars and clubs on site, this hotel sees a lot of action in the evenings, but isn’t really suitable for families."

Frommer's "Abu Dhabi's landmark hotel is unsubtle evidence of the city's wealth and grandiosity." Full review
Lonely Planet "Fit for a king (or for that matter an empress, an emir or a sultan), which is just as well because that is principally what this regal, super-luxurious hotel was built for."
Travel + Leisure "Perhaps the best way to express the grandeur of the newly built, Kempinski-operated Emirates Palace—reportedly the most expensive hotel ever built—is to break it down by numbers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "All the rooms feature wide plasma TVs and extras such as welcome cocktails, flowers and fruit in the room, butler service, complimentary minibar and Internet access."
Rough Guide "Abu Dhabi’s landmark hotel (see opposite) is the favoured residence of visiting heads of state and assorted celebrities, with every luxury you could think of."
Time Out "It’s not just giddy hyperbole either; it really feels palatial, with luxury that regularly accommodates royalty." Full review
Star Service "With glorious domes and manicured gardens, the exterior exhibits just a small taste of what's on the inside." Full review
Gayot "Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi Hotel Review: This immense property overlooks the Persian Gulf and is close to everything the city has to offer."
