The contemporary waterfront landmark is a reflection of Abu Dhabi’s forward-looking spirit on Al Maryah Island—where the city's ambitions are reflected in setting, scale and design. This is a place redefining the line between business and pleasure, shaped by sophistication and grounded in local influence.

Begin with a welcome that holds meaning. Arabic coffee and seven dates, each one representing an Emirate. A chandelier inspired by Bedouin tents. Walls embellished with mashrabiya patterns carved by hand.

For those seeking purpose and reflection, art is curated with cultural context. Emirati calligraphy, sculpture and installation. Tales of such works told by a guide introduce artist to audience.

And gastronomy is equally grounded. Spices from souks and ingredients from around the world are the foundations of a culinary journey that spans the Mediterranean to Canton. Private tastings of rare vintages and cocktails layered with Emirati citrus and desert botanicals are a further exploration of global flavor.

At Rosewood Abu Dhabi, the view is just the beginning.
