A weekend at the Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel and Resort brings you to a time when five-star service was sterling and that is still what you’ll find today.
Impeccable and uncompromising, this landmark of the city of Abu Dhabi shines through without marketing gimmicks and pretentious displays: what you see is what you get, and what you get is excellence.
If you remember Abu Dhabi in its early days, the Sheraton was one of the pioneers of first-class hotel service. Times have changed, and the landscape around the hotel has transformed into a vibrant city, but the Sheraton has remained both an icon and a magnet, still catering to a clientele of long-term residents as well as the visiting tourist and business person.
The location is at the end of the corniche (northern end, but every body just refers to it as “the end”) and nestled among the bright lights of modernity, the Sheraton Abu Dhabi’s distinct silhouette is instantly recognizable.

Our room was simple, yet elegant and sporting all the modern amenities one could wish for.
But it is after dark that the Sheraton Abu Dhabi lights up!
The hotel in fact offers a variety of entertainment that goes back to its roots, and the loyal following of Abu Dhabi residents is proof that the Sheraton is still the place to go for a good night out!
And to glide in on the smooth city lights, we were fortunate to drive the new Mercedes C-200!
In the UAE we are spoiled for luxury cars, and so the C-class might seem like an “entry-level” Mercedes – but if you think that, you haven’t driven it! Most of the state-of-the-art features that you only expect from the top-of-the-line flagship model are available in the C-200: for instance, check out the integrated safety concept!
Even better, take it for a drive yourself – click here to book your testdrive.
Back at the Sheraton Abu Dhabi, dining is a question of choice – and all are great choices:
Al Mayass – Lebanese-Armenian
El Sombrero – Mexican
La Mamma – Italian
Bravo – Spanish
Flavours – International
The Beachcomber – Shisha bar
Cloud Nine – cigar lounge
Tavern pub – British pub
B-Lounge – Chillout lounge
Zenith – night club
And all are excellent, in their own ways.
The Sombrero Mexican restaurant is most often fully-booked, especially at weekends, so place a reservation to secure your table.
The Tavern Pub is a popular watering hole for regulars and visitors alike – great ambience!
And Flavours caters to families with an excellent selection of international cuisine.
At the Sheraton Abu Dhabi, enjoy the pool and the lagoon, work out at the Health Club, do business and celebrate weddings in the grand halls, and have a good night’s sleep in the famed Sheraton beds – but most of all, spend some time with friends at the Sheraton’s lively food and beverage outlets.
