Le Meridien Abu Dhabi

Amber Morris

This hotel was really charming. It has multiple restaurant options, swim up bar at the pool, beach, and walkable to a mall and downtown Abu Dhabi. It was a nice change to stay in a hotel with a bit of soul. It has a very American old school bar & saloon near the front entrance - which was kind of cute and reminded us of home. The hotel is clean with a very intimate feeling. The rooms were quite small for an older hotel, but it was fine - and clean. The absolute only thing we were disappointed in, is the hotel seems to market their football pitch, which is the reason we booked it as we were taking our kids to the Saudi Super Cup. During the day, we walked over to the pitch and it was locked. For some reason the front desk told us where it was but failed to mention it was locked. We walked back, asked how to access and we were told it’s actually a FIFA prepped pitch and available only for groups. The Google page literally has a photo of the pitch with a Le Meridian ball on it. Unless it’s accessible to guests, they should remove the for marketing. However, we’d definitely stay here again as it’s a nice change of pace and scenery from Dubai. We quite liked the mid-Century charm and learning about the history of the hotel.

I cannot say anything about the room since I have only stayed over the pool for the day. Notwithstanding, I had such an amazing and relaxing time. Ms. Quincie and Pretty from Pool Reception went beyond expectations by providing immaculate support with genuine smiles and a lot of kindness. I am extremely grateful from both of them and efficient communication via whats app prior to the day. Mr. Dewar (Pool area bartender) also took very good care of me during my stay. Food was quite taste and has been served on time And hot. Recommend the hotel for some nice relaxing time with family or alone.

This hotel is old but elegant. It has quite a history back in the 90's. I loved our room which has a city view. The room service was great and accommodated our needs on time. Check in was smooth. We arrived early and our room wasn't ready but we were given access to their executive lounge to relax and eat while waiting. The lobby and elevator smells so good and calming. They have a breakfast buffet with lots of food options. They have an outdoor pool with floating bar and beach if you prefer swimming there instead. I was impressed with their gym as it was huge and has everything you need to workout. The only cons I can share is that they have little amenities inside the bathroom, which were body lotion, hand soap, shower cap and sanitary bag. But it isn't a big deal for me but an opportunity for the hotel to reconsider. P.S. If you are in UAE, make sure you have an adapter for your electronics as they use a different type of outlet as shown in the photo. Luckily for us, the hotel provided us with an adapter.

We didn't stay at hotel but used the pool and beach facilities. It is a perfect place to come for a fun and relaxing pool day! We were greeted by the most friendly member of staff, Delwar, who took amazing care of all our poolside needs. The service here is outstanding! Music playlist is always on point, good mixes and can be heard from the beach as well. Highly recommended!

We spent a few days in Abu Dhabi and tried this hotel. I didn't have many expectations but I was surprised from the moment I walked inside. The hotel overall is very well kept. From what I understand it was opened in the 1970s so it doesn't have the flashy looks and it's not as high as newer hotels, but it's very unique and well maintained. The room itself was comfortable and similar to other higher mid tier hotels. Service was excellent from the front desk to the room attendants. We get late check out from status and they were able to extend it further due to our very late flight. A pleasant surprise. The food at the breakfast buffet was nice as well with various hot food and cold food stations. The rear of the hotel is very nice with a pool, bar for the pool, many chairs and a private beach, all well maintained. We stumbled upon the gym and fitness center and I was surprised at how large and well equipped it is. It's made for serious weight workouts. The biggest and best gym and fitness center I've seen in a hotel. People were using the heavy weights and machines area so I didn't get a pic. But know this rivals many dedicated gyms I've been in. The location seems nice. It's easy to get a taxi and downtown areas are fairly close. It's also next to a big mall. Taxis are easy to use, all of our drivers were professional, they all have the same meter equipment and take credit cards. I didn't consider Uber as the taxi system is nice and easy to use. I was impressed with my stay.
