I recently stayed at the Fairmont Hotel on a weeks vacation with my wife. My observations would be that the hotel is well situated and provides easy access to Abu Dhabi’s main attractions as taxis are easily available and very modest in price. The hotel is spotless and our room on the fifth floor was large and very well appointed with everything you could require. The biggest plus for the hotel as mentioned by previous reviewers is the excellent service provided by the staff who deserve the praise provided by patrons.The sole slight disappointment of our visit was unbeknownst to us a very large ( I believe around 300 guests )four day Indian wedding had been booked at the hotel which included a number of outdoor functions accompanied by loud music. Unfortunately there celebrations impinged somewhat on our hotel experience.Other than this issue I would thoroughly recommend the hotel if you are visiting Abu Dhabi.

I've stayed at numerous luxury hotels across India and internationally, and Fairmont Bab Al Bahr ranks among my top experiences. It's that rare combination of spectacular location, genuine luxury, excellent service, and unique experiences (those Grand Mosque views!) that creates lasting memories. Would I stay here again? Without question. In fact, I'm already planning my next Abu Dhabi trip and this will be my base once again. Whether you're planning a weekend escape, a longer Abu Dhabi exploration, or a stopover on your way to another destination, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr deserves serious consideration. It's not just a place to stay—it's an integral part of what makes your Abu Dhabi experience magical. More here: https://onepunjabibinger.in/blog/fairmont-bab-al-bahr

I had a wonderful stay and would like to sincerely thank Mr. Rajan for everything. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly made the experience special. He went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and was always helpful with a smile. The hospitality and service were exceptional, and it’s because of people like Mr. Rajan that this hotel stands out. I highly recommend this place and look forward to returning

We are currently staying at the Fairmont and want to leave some feedback for the service staff and was directed to trip advisor. They are amazing and attentive and I particularly wanted to give a shout out to Jabeer in Marcos. I’m gluten intolerant and there is nothing for dessert other than ice cream on that menu. I didn’t want this so whilst my companions tucked into their delicious desserts I sat and watched. Until Jabeer appeared with a gluten free pudding from another restaurant. I didn’t ask for anything but he took it upon himself to find me something. All of the staff in the restaurants/porters/pool attendants work incredibly hard to make your stay seamless. If i had to leave a small criticism, there is nowhere in house to give positive feedback for individual staff who go above and beyond like Jabeer.

Really cannot say enough about this beautiful hotel. Situated across from the Grand Mosque, the view from our room was spectacular, especially at sunset. The staff really make this hotel next level. They are all extremely professional yet friendly and helpful. Great selection of restaurants on site, we tried the cafe sushi ( sushi at its best!) and the Lebanese restaurant and English pub ( very pretty at night ) with great food and lovely man serving us. My husband was unsure of what beer to choose so he eagerly gave him a few sample beers to try and this was appreciated. Facilities are beautiful and well maintained. Highly recommend this hotel and really hope to be back some day. The rooms are very spacious and the bathroom is huge. Loved the walk in large shower…. Not a big fan of stepping into the bath showers so this was appreciated. Mr Raymond at the front of the hotel directing the cars and his team were so slick at their jobs and super friendly to chat with while awaiting a taxi . This hotel has it all….
