DK Eyewitness "While all the rooms are beautifully appointed and have sublime views of the Corniche and Arabian Sea, the Royal Club rooms are worth the extra dirhams for the Hermès products alone."
Rough Guide "Chic modern hotel catering to a mix of business and tourist visitors, with stylish, rather minimalist, modern rooms and a better-than average selection of in-house eating and drinking venues."

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
