Five reasons to visit The Abu Dhabi Edition

Design and taste are in full supply at this slick Abu Dhabi property – the perfect base for exploring the capital

01. Luxe details

What gives The Abu Dhabi Edition its slick touch is its uniue design-led concept conceived by former Studio 54 nighclub owner Ian Schrager. Located in the Downtown district of Abu Dhabi on the waterfront at Al Bateen Marina, it's the coolest hotspot in town for a weekend hangout, soaking up rays or checking out many of their happening events. 02. But first, breakfast

If there’s one thing that we rate hotels on it’s their breakfasts, and, The Abu Dhabi Edition does not disappoint. The Market on the ground floor is the locals’ go-to for the chicest breakfast setting. It's organic and health-inspired menu includes açaí bowls, superfood smoothies and plenty of vegan options to choose from too. 03. Room Service

The rooms are as fancy as you would expect. With slick beige decor and Instagram worthy bathrooms it's a design dream. If you're feeling bougie, upgrade to a Superior Suite or the Royal Penthouse, with separate living rooms, art adorned walls and marina views – we promise you, you won't be dissapointed. 04. After hours

For dinner head to the Oak Room. This British rock ‘n’ roll steakhouse serves up unique cuts and delictable desserts with a side of sophistication. But, if you really want to feel Abu Dhabi's magnetic soul, head to Annex on 18 October where international hip hop stars Sons of Yusuf will be playing in a one-time-only performance and it's not to be missed.

05. Location, location,

Sat in the downtown district, the hotel is the perfect base to discover all of the city's offerings. Take a short taxi ride to Yas Mall and shop ’till you drop. Or if a dose of culture is more your thing, head to the famous Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque or check out the latest exhibitions at The Louvre, including works from Picasso or one of their film screenings.
