Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal opens

The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal opened its doors on Monday. The 532-room luxury resort is the first Ritz-Carlton in Abu Dhabi and the ninth property in the Middle East for the hotel operator.

Inspired by 15th to early 17th century Renaissance architecture and the urban planning of the city of Venice, The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal is located at the waterfront and consists of ten stately buildings arranged in a crescent formation.

Overlooking the 1,600 square metre pool, the backdrop of the hotel is the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The property features 447 luxurious guestrooms and suites, in addition to 85 private one- and two-bedroom villas. 

“We are delighted to open our  first hotel in Abu Dhabi, a city we have waited to be in until finding absolutely the right location,” stated Herve Humler, President and COO of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C.
