THE SUITE LIFE

A luxurious stay awaits guests this Ramadan at The Abu Dhabi EDITION, nestled in the heart of the capital's charming Al Bateen Marina neighbourhood

- Serena Botelho e Warren

The Abu Dhabi EDITION, a luxury lifestyle hotel located in the capital's downtown district against the backdrop of the Al Bateen Marina waterfront, is as stunning on the exterior as it is inside. We were thoroughly mesmerised by the modern, sleek architecture that exudes grandeur. Warm lighting and polished, sophisticated décor welcomed us at the contemporary lobby. As far as dining experiences at the hotel go, there is a lobby bar, pool bar, three-story social space, and three signature restaurants where Michelin-starred Chef Tom Aikens conveys his culinary ethos namely Alba Terrace, Oak Room and an all-day dining spot, Market.

Accommodation spaces vary across 198 guest rooms with Marina or City views and 57 exclusively serviced residences. This month of Ramadan, the property has released an exclusive GCC Residents Package, including Iftar and Suhoor, that you can take advantage of. We were ushered over to check-in, a process that was smooth and quick and in no time, were on our way to our room.

ACCOMMODATION:

Clean lines, a neutral palette, wood panelling, grey oak timber flooring with solid pale khaki rugs in the main room, and off-white marble flooring in the bathroom awaited us in our Deluxe Marina room. A walk around the 49 sq. metre space revealed an elegant bathroom decked out in plush Black Tea amenities developed by world-renowned perfumery Le Labo; a tub that looked out to the bedroom, separated by a privacy screen; a well-appointed bed; lounge spot; and a spacious balcony that overlooked the Marina and the hotel.
