Overview
A mall-linked city beach resort
Beach Rotana is a central city beach resort with an adjoining serviced-apartment wing, directly linked to Abu Dhabi Mall on a 430-metre private beach in the Al Zahiyah Tourist Club area, near Al Maryah Island and about five minutes from the Gold Souk. The award-winning over-water Finz leads a roster of around a dozen venues — Italian at Prego's, Indian fusion at Indigo, French-Polynesian dining and cocktails at Trader Vic's, a German tavern at Brauhaus, and cafes, lounges and a pool bar alongside. Zen the Spa keeps ten treatment rooms and two tranquillity suites with signature Rasul-mud, thalassotherapy and hydrotherapy rituals, and an outdoor infinity pool with a swim-up bar pairs with the private beach, three floodlit tennis courts, two squash courts, the Bodylines fitness club, watersports and a kids' club. Rooms and suites in the hotel run alongside the adjacent Beach Rotana Towers serviced apartments, from Classic Rooms to sea-view rooms and suites with Club Lounge access in the Tower Wing, two-bedroom apartments with a kitchenette and a Royal Suite. The direct mall link and central position make an easy base for the city while keeping a private beach. On a bed-and-breakfast basis, around 30 to 40 minutes by road from Zayed International, it is a flexible, central city-and-beach base.
