Very interesting and a must stop if you are nearby. Stop in for a drink, dessert, or tea, but be prepared $$$$

Luxurious, magnificent, dazzling palace. Immense waste of natural resources and materials you are discovering. However, since you can feel like in tales of 1001 nights too. Huge, gorgeous, yet easily and luxuriously decorated spaces here. The number of staff as great as if at any moment they were waiting for heads of state to the hall. It to approach recommended...

The Emirates Parking has a big parking under the palace. Park your car for free and wonder about the big cars parked! Right at the entrance of the hotel you'll have a beautiful view over the garden and you can look at the valet parking too. The Palace is beautiful inside, gold as far as you can see. Even the...

Everybody should visit somewhere like the Emirates Palace at least once in their lives. It is full of amazing locations, restaurants and bars and some of the fixtures take your breath away. The meals generally arent cheap but you get what you pay for and the diversity of meals across the variety of restaurants is as broad and the meals... More

For scale and opulence in today's world it is hard to do better than the Arabs I guess. So the emirates Palace delivers fully and more on that.

The most amazing place in your life is there waiting for you. Try to get a place in the Bach lounge and you will jump in another universe, singer playing guitar, nice cocktails and Shisha will do the rest. Dont be surprised if you cross some Hollywood star, they pass by very often there.

This is really a must to visit in Abu Dhabi. The Public Access areas of this hotel are worth a visit....enjoy a Gold Dust Coffee for only 55 Dirums or lash out in one of many restaurants for lunch or dinner...share high tea which is also an experience in luxurious surroundings. Admire enormous floral displays as well as showcases containing... More

The Palace is beautiful, but I didn't understand why it's a "must do" while in Abu Dhabi. The interior space is nice, but if you are not a guest of the hotel, your movement is very restricted. You aren't even allowed out of the building and onto the beach. If you have plenty of time, certainly make a stop. But... More

When in Abu Dhabi, we decided to have afternoon tea here. We arrived a bit early so that we could walk the building/grounds. Talk about OTT (Over The Top)! Gold leaf and marble everywhere. The lobby and hallways were huge and palatial. I can see why it cost 3+ billion dollars to build! Tea was lovely. Some of the treats... More
