- WORDS: GEORG IE BRADLEY

01.Spacedout

What gives Rosewood Abu D ha bi its luxurious touch is the sheer amount of space across its 34- store yin te rio rs. Without feeling cavernous and cold, the hotel manages to create a warmth and familiarit­y in its light-filled rooms, blending a cal ming aura with a statelines­s that is very much a staple to the grandeur experience­d in the UAE. Careful though, you could get used to it!

02.But first, the pool

You can always woo us with a sparkly pool – especially with gilded features. And Rosewood Abu Dhabi’s got all the Insta-bliss we could wish for, for a full day’s worth of poolside poseur and peace. Slim A ar ons would be proud. On a hot day, expect the staff to come around with cold towels, and a bucket of ice with water. It’s always the little things that count.

03. Do not disturb

“Hello, I live here,” you’ll say as you jump up and down on the soft-as-silk bed. Your dark-wood panelled room with lush leather accents comes with tech-savvy features that boil down to one promise: comfort. You don’t have to get up and draw the curtains or switch off the lights. Everything is operated by the touch of an iPad–even the TV.

04.Hong Kong calling

What’s authentic about Dai Pai Dong is that the kitchen is set up as it would be on the streets of Hong Kong – frenetic and interactiv­e. The chefs are engulfed ina steam of fragrant smells giving it an urban feel. It’s been a few years since DaiPai Dong first opened its doors, but we’re still talking about the truffle vegetable dumplings and the braised chicken bun.

05.Islandnati­on

Abu Dhabi is where we go to get away from it all without having to stretch too far. Rose wood A bu D ha bis its on Al Maryah Island, which gives you even more exclusivit­y and a feeling of happy and much-needed detachment all the while seeing the twinkling lights of Abu Dhabi’s skyline before you. And you’ re also connected to Galleria Mall. Fill your pockets.
