I live in Abu Dhabi, so I didn't stay the night, so I am not aware of the rooms etc. One of our special weekend treats for me and my family is an afteroon tea/coffee and cakes. Since the Rocco Forte has opened I have been meaning to check it out. It was quite quiet when we arrived - on... More

The build up was great, -fantastic looking building and facilities, -got email asking for my room preferences (quiet and not near elevators/etc), nice touch, but from then on downhill , very far and very fast. The big stuff: -Arrive on a Thursday night and am shown to room immediately next to an elevator (Why ask for preferences if you don't... More

I had just recently come back from yet another trip to the middle east, which is one of my favorite regions to travel too currently. As I was traveling on business, and had a day to kill before my meetings started in Dubai, I wanted to check out the new Rocco property. At first appearance, when you first pull up... More

Recently I was staying at the hotel with a friend of mine. The rooms are quite good, it just needs to be relocated.. To have a view of a construction site and a gas station with noisy planes coming up and down in an airport is not what you pay money for. Restaurants are pretty well designed, especially the italian... More

I stayed at the Rocco Forte Hotel in Abu Dhabi for three nights. The decor, design and attention to detail is stunning, and the room (Deluxe King) was beautifully furnished, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was large and spotless, and the minibar interesting rather than typical. The Blue Bar is simply incredible and Oro restaurant (Italian) is first rate.... More

My husband and myself stayed at this hotel for 3 days in mid-February. It is a very impressive building with a breathtaking lobby – very beautiful. Upon checking in we were greeted by the Guest Relations Manager and this set the tone for the rest of the stay. All staff are incredibly charming and friendly. The rooms are spacious and... More

I stayed at the Rocco Forte on a business trip to the UAE a few weeks back. I had never heard of the property before but chose to stay due to the close proximity to the Embassies area. On initial arrival that evening I was surprised to see that there hasn't been much attention to the entry of the hotel.... More

This is a brand new hotel and was still being finished when we stayed (which was a surprise and disappointment as we had no clue that it wasn't finished and was represented to have a luxury mall attached which is still a raw construction site). We selected it because it was midway between AD downtown, Yas Island (F1 track), close... More
