Overview
An own-marina city-resort
The InterContinental Abu Dhabi is an established marina city-resort on its own 183-berth marina and private beach at Al Khubeirah — one of the capital's original luxury hotels, about five minutes from the Corniche, Marina Mall and Emirates Palace. A lively Marina Walk dining scene is led by the Fish Market, where you choose your own seafood to be cooked to order, and the Chamas churrascaria and Brazilian grill, with a relaxed Belgian Café, the all-day Selat and the marina-side Y Bar alongside. The 390 rooms and suites span fourteen room types with marble baths, monsoon showers and marina, city or sea views, plus a separate InterContinental Residences building of serviced apartments — from Classic Rooms to Club InterContinental rooms with 24-hour lounge access, one-bedroom suites and a Royal Suite. An outdoor infinity pool and a kids' splash pool with a slide sit beside the Bayshore Beach Club on the water, with two floodlit tennis courts, table tennis and culinary masterclasses among the extras. The marina setting and Marina Walk give a waterfront dining-and-yachting scene rare among the city hotels. On a bed-and-breakfast basis, with an all-inclusive package option and full board, around 30 minutes by road from Zayed International, it is a marina city-resort that works for families and couples alike.
