Sunrise and sunset are moments for inspiration at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal. The sun shimmers off Al Maqta Creek in the morning, while the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is lit beautifully as the sun retreats at the end of each day. This impressive setting, along with hotel amenities such as a kids program, waterpark, spa and meeting venues, is perfect for any type of travel, from family getaways, couples retreats and business stays.

Had a lovely time over New Year. Really enjoyed the New Year Eve celebrations and the food was spectacular. Loved the Mijana restaurant and special thanks to Sahiba and Ranjit. Sahiba was excellent throughout our stay and was always welcoming and greeted us, nothing was too much trouble. She is a credit to you!

We visited this hotel on the 30th December - 8th January. I was absolutely blown away by this hotel. The service is impeccable, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. However what is also notable is that the staff are genuine and seem to be able to be themselves. We have stayed in other hotels where everything feels scripted but this is not the case here. If you are travelling with children this hotel is amazing. They go above and beyond to cater for them and make a fuss of them wherever they are. We travelled with our 11 month old. Everyday a cabana was reserved for us so that he could be in the shade, we were given fresh water and towels throughout the day. Staff also gave my son little toys and made every effort to interact with him. Raj who is the leisure and pool manager was outstanding and made our holiday really special. We had club access and this was very much worth it for us. We were concerned that it was going to be just snacks but you can get your full days meals in there if you so wish. There was always hot and cold food at breakfast, lunch and dinner. For us the breakfast was much better here as the main buffet is so huge we preferred a smaller space so that we could be up and down whilst still being able to see our son. Again the service here was great, we were particularly looked after by a member of staff who told us he was from Chennai in India he used to work in the main restaurant but then only worked in the club but I can not remember his name - if the hotel is able to recognise him from that I really hope so! Food again, really good. We ate at the Japanese and the steak house and both were excellent. We had wagu fillet in the steakhouse which is probably the best steak I’ve ever had. We stayed in a club suit and this was very spacious. I cannot wait to return to this hotel, hopefully in March. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

Forge was amazing and the staff took wonderful care of us. From management to waitstaff to the kitchen, we were treated to a beautiful evening. The new chef is also lovely! I can’t wait for the new menu because I believe it will be the same great quality, just elevated.
