Fairmont Bab Al Bahr

Leah and Gokul have done a good cleaning job. They have listened my requests and set my room as expected. I highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed at the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr many times and each time I just love it. The place, the rooms, the environment, the facilities, the food, the Gold lounge are absolutely great. But what strikes me the most each time is the service. It's so agreable to have all these employees smiling, greeting you each time and showing you they're happy to help and assist. Having said that, this weekend I was expecting the same but I had even more, a very special welcome with an upgrade to a fantastic Suite with a splendid view on the Grand Mosque. Many thanks to you Reem, you made my stay incredible and you made me looking forward to coming back. Many thanks also to the fantastic Gold Lounge team for their warm welcome each time and for their outstanding service.

The Fairmont couples winter holiday to Abu Dhabi. The Fairmont is known for their luxurious hotels and Spas across the globe; naturally, I have a slightly higher expectation and harsher critic. The hotel itself is designed beautifully, with a pool area and private beach. We opted for breakfast only for our stay as we ventured out to explore a lot of Abu Dhabi. The breakfast was perfect, with many options and lovely staff. The reception is grand and fits the 5 star luxury feel; the rooms are very spacious and uniquely designed, again meeting the 5 star expectations. The private beach is a massive plus as it is peaceful but still provides a nice city view. The location is perfect with taxis being easily accessible; staff are extremely helpful to order/contact a taxi. As always with the UAE, staff are very attentive and friendly, they have a genuine interest in visitors. Upon arrival, the receptionists were helpful; although, it seemed the booking was changed to my (male) partners name creating confusing for some time. I am unsure if this was a genuine mistake, or misogyny. This did not, however, dampen my experience as staff always try to be respectful when balancing visitors from different cultures. The reason why a 5 points rating has not been given despite the positive aspects above, is that I feel the hotel is in need of some renovation throughout as it is starting to feel dated. Given the luxury that the Fairmont provides, I feel a harsher critic feels right. Overall, our experience in Abu Dhabi was extraordinary and this hotel has the potential to be what it once was with minimal touch ups.

It’s been a pleasure to stay here. The service has been amazing and I’would like to give a big thanks to the staff which have made our stay beyond perfect. Thank you for the amazing food and drinks. Thank you; Rajan, Paolo, Stephen, Mark, Phoo, Alfam, Christian, Angela, Chef. Imran and Chef. Subash.

We had a lovely stay at our second home 😊. This was our second visit, and with the recent renovations, the hotel looks even more beautiful with upgraded facilities and services. What made it extra special was the people — always smiling and welcoming wherever we went. Our family loved the upgraded suite with its stunning waterfront view of the Grand Mosque, plus the exclusive access to the Fairmont Gold Lounge. The kids couldn’t get enough of the chocolate cookies and juices, while we enjoyed the sushi and club sandwiches. A heartfelt thanks to the amazing housekeeping team for the beautifully decorated room — we truly felt the care and warmth like being at home, Special thanks to Chamil, Vineet and manish, Also to Rajan, Mark, Angella, and Chef Imran at Fairmont Gold for their friendly service and delicious breakfasts. We can’t forget the wonderful Kids Club team — the kids had a blast sliding, swinging, climbing, and coloring. So much fun that they happily wore themselves out! It truly felt like a home away from home. Thank you, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr — we’ll definitely be back!
