Abu Dhabi Hotels Gids - Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts hotels in Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Emirate

This Hotel is just awesome! We spent our 15th wedding anniversary there, there up-graded our from to a deluxe suite and the view was just amazing, could see the Mosque from our balcony!!! Hotel service was fantastic and restaurants top of the scale!!! Breakfast buffet had such a choice. Great location in Abu Dhabi, They,provide shuttle to the Mosque and back, we did walk back because it was such a nice day! Souk is just next to this hotel and shopping is awesome, can get great bargains!!!

Don't expect Wow! type of luxury when you first see the room. This is a well-designed, understated kind of place, with everything you need for a shorter to medium-term stay. We had a studio apartment, with adequately appointed kitchen, comfortable seating area and large balcony (unfortunately not on the sunny side - good in the summer, not so good for us in the winter). The bed was comfortable and a proper king size. The bathroom was just big enough, and the shower might even be tight if you are big (we are not). As we were on the third floor, we had plenty light from the outside, and a good view over the 'Grand Canal' to the Ritz Carlton. It's a pleasant walk along the beach promenade to the souk, with its shops, restaurants, small supermarket, and cafés. On the way, you pass a couple of guest swimming pools, which although not very deep, are pleasant enough if you want to lounge at the pool. You have access to the Shangri La hotel itself, which has several restaurants and bars, plus a larger pool with pool bar facing west towards the grand mosque over the water. The wifi internet connection is surprisingly fast (it handled two laptops on skype in a conference call on skype with family at home without a stutter), and we assume the ethernet connection is even better, although we never used it.

Hotel staff and facilities were awesome. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
