Bab Al Qasr

Bab Al Qasr is a palatial Arabian-Moroccan beach hotel and residences on the Corniche, directly opposite Emirates Palace, with one of Abu Dhabi's largest private beaches and a central position by Etihad Towers, the Observation Deck at 300 and Qasr Al Watan. Around 677 keys span rooms, suites and serviced apartments with marble baths and Moroccan accents — from superior and premier rooms to junior suites with a dressing area and floor-to-ceiling windows, and two-bedroom residences with a full kitchen for families and longer stays — all served by a two-level Club Lounge. Dining runs to shoreline plates and drinks at Loop Beach, afternoon tea in the Rose Lounge, a live-cooking international buffet, a Latin cocktail bar and a pool bar. The Moroccan-style Ayana Spa keeps six therapy rooms with a hammam, steam, sauna and jacuzzi, while an outdoor infinity pool and sun terrace overlook the beach, and a VR entertainment zone, the Al Dana ballroom and eight meeting rooms handle families and events. The grand scale and central Corniche address keep the capital's landmarks within reach while the private beach holds the resort feel. On a bed-and-breakfast basis, with half-board packages, around 29 to 33 minutes by road from Zayed International, it is a grand, central city-and-beach base by the Corniche landmarks.
