Local tip
The adjoining Abu Dhabi Mall keeps shopping and everyday essentials close to the hotel’s waterfront facilities.

Beach Rotana is a waterfront five-star hotel in Abu Dhabi, positioned between the city centre and the financial district on Al Maryah Island. Its setting combines an urban base with private beach access, giving the property a choice of city, sea and poolside experiences. The adjoining Abu Dhabi Mall adds a convenient retail connection beside the hotel.

Accommodation includes rooms and suites with city or sea views, along with Club Rotana rooms offering personalised service. The overall style is polished and contemporary, with facilities designed for both business stays and leisure breaks. Meeting and event spaces, wedding facilities and the Club Rotana Lounge extend the hotel’s appeal beyond overnight accommodation.

Dining is a central part of the property, with 12 restaurants and bars covering several international styles. Finz focuses on seafood in an overwater setting, while Prego’s serves Italian food with a wood-fired pizza offering and a sea-view terrace. Trader Vic’s brings Polynesian-inspired dining, tropical cocktails and live performances. Rodeo Grill centres on charcoal-grilled steaks, and Brauhaus takes a beer-hall approach to German cuisine.

Further choices include Japanese cooking and teppanyaki at Benihana, Indian food from an open kitchen and tandoori ovens at Indigo, and Mediterranean-influenced dishes at the beachside Beach Garden. Al Shorfa Lounge provides an outdoor setting with sea and skyline views. Together, the venues give the hotel a broad dining selection for casual meals, drinks, special occasions and group gatherings.

Leisure facilities include an infinity pool, private beach, full gym, spa, tennis courts and squash courts. Zen the Spa and Bodylines Fitness & Wellness Club support wellbeing, while the beach and pool offer a change of pace from the nearby commercial districts. The location also works as a base for exploring the city, with attractions including Louvre Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the museums and theme parks around the wider emirate within reach by car.

Beach Rotana suits travellers seeking a full-service waterfront stay, as well as corporate guests needing meeting facilities close to the city’s business areas. Its combination of accommodation, dining, recreation and retail access makes it suitable for short business visits, longer leisure stays and events that benefit from several facilities in one location.
