The Rosewood

Sunset is a particularly special moment to savour in the Royal Suite, with Abu Dhabi’s gleaming skyscrapers flaring red and gold as you look down at the path you took between them, 34 floors below, on the day’s adventures. The magnificent 360-degree view sweeps from futuristic cityscape to the Arabian Sea and back. inside, the design takes its cue from the setting; the white desert dunes and crystal blue sea are conjured in stone, wood and glass—and a dramatic, multi-tiered Swarovski chandelier. Feeling hungry? Take the lift down 30 floors to indulge at Spice Mela, one of the best indian restaurants in the united Arab emirates. You can work that curry off in the suite’s state-of-the-art private gym and end the night with a soak in the suite’s oversized Villeroy & Boch tub. rosewoodhotels.com
