LOVE BRAND & Co.Partners
Set against the Arabian Gulf, located on its own 1.2-kilometre stretch of private coastline, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental is the epitome of luxury in Abu Dhabi. The iconic 5-star retreat sits in regal company beside Qasr Al Watan, the presidential palace. From its palatial architecture to world-class hospitality, the golden-domed hotel promises an unforgettable experience.
And, just like at LOVE BRAND & Co., luxury and sustainability go hand in hand at the hotel. From solar-powered water heating to the elimination of single-use plastics, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental is leading the way in eco-conscious hospitality.
Balconies Made for Champagne Sunsets
With 394 rooms and suites, each space is its own sanctuary. In calming tones of white and soft blue with elegant wood and marble accents, each room offers panoramic views of Abu Dhabi’s cityscape or the Gulf, depending on your preference. Step onto your private terrace, feel the balmy evening breeze, and let time slow as you sip a sundowner.
And for the eco-conscious traveller? The hotel’s vegan suite offers a 100% plant-based experience, from cruelty-free bath products to ethically sourced interiors.
The resort’s outdoor spaces are just as impressive as its interiors. Guests can lounge at the adults-only infinity pool, complete with swim-up bar service, or take a refreshing dip in the sprawling family-friendly pool, which features waterfalls, a lazy river, and an adventure splash area for younger guests. The private beach also offers a tranquil escape, where plush sunbeds and cabanas provide the perfect setting for a day under the sun.
Michelin Moments
Emirates Palace offers world-class international dining options across 12 venues, including two Michelin-starred restaurants. Chow down at Broadway, with elevated comfort food and cocktails served up with a side of 1920s-inspired live entertainment. Or indulge in authentic Italian cuisine at Talea, helmed by Guida’s protégé Luigi Stinga, the proud recipient of the inaugural Michelin Guide Abu Dhabi’s Young Chef Award.
One not to miss is the hotel's signature 24-karat-gold camel burger; it’s served at various restaurants and can even be ordered on room service.
From Camels to Culture
Beyond the hotel’s grandeur lies a world of adventure. Experience the ride of your life as you explore the soaring desert sand dunes in a 4x4. You can also add on traditional experiences with this, such as camel rides, sandboarding and lots more.
For a cultural deep dive, the hotel arranges private tours of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest and most breathtaking mosques in the world, or Heritage Village, where Abu Dhabi’s past is beautifully preserved.
Travelling with little ones? The hotel’s Kids Club provides a haven of entertainment and learning, with activities like treasure hunts, arts and crafts, and interactive storytelling sessions. There’s even a dedicated children’s pool with mini slides and water play areas to keep them entertained.

Beneath ornate mosaics and soft candlelight, guests are treated to bespoke treatments designed to restore both body and soul.

Whether basking in the sun on its pristine shores, indulging in Michelin-starred gastronomy, or unwinding at its world-class spa, this Abu Dhabi icon offers an experience that lingers long after the journey ends.
