Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, Abu Dhabi Reviews

Good hotel, nice decor, good breakfast, stylish and comfortable rooms and generally good service. One comment, the rooms could use some more lighting!

One of the best hotels in Abu Dhabi , excellent rates in week days

Loved it, great hotel, amazing location/views, wonderful food and friendly staff all you need to have a fantastic time!!

My stay here at this hotel exceeded my expectations. This hotel demonstrates customer service at its highest. Rooms are great with a view of the Grand Mosque. Lobby area is beautifully decorored with a distinct aroma which is not only welcoming but also perfect for any business meetings. I would like to give a special mention to Larin (front desk) who not only attended to our needs but ensured our stay was perfect right till checkout. The restaurants where of high standard with great food. Room service.. Flawless.. Valet parking... Very effecient and quick. My next visit to Abu Dhabi, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr will be my home.

Clean and fast service very terrible and very wonderful views very very very unique experience

Beware of the not quite all inclusive, there are quite a few limitations. Most bars you will have to pay a supplement

The check in took very long time.. no spa.. and the room smell wasn't pleasant to me

very amazing.comfortable and very good from inside with great architecture and amazing art. very high quality service everything available on time

A nice hotel with a view and when I say view, kindly book the "sea view rooms" for that because "city view rooms" has nothing much to offer.

What all you can see from sea view rooms - a beautiful man made beach, hotel's beautiful and quite a big pool, Ritz Carlton across, AlDar HQ building (If you get the rooms above than 5th floor) and lastly Grand Mosque.

So, you can figure, why I started with room views of the hotel.

Staff is cordial and welcoming.
Restaurants are good, food is delicious.
We spent all our 3 nights outside after dinner having hookah/sheesha and coffee.

The hotel is comparatively cheaper than the other hotels around.
Over all, very nice hotel to stay with good amenities.

Thanks & Regards.

Solid hotel but more for families as for couples. Offers a few restaurants. Tried only breakfast and the Italian place - Frankie's. Not really impressed and would call it also solid. The view of the hotel room to the mosque is very nice and also the small beach is a bonus even if crowded but we found always a place. Staff is very friendly and tries to help in all means. Rest of the hotel is well maintained but you see at sometimes that hotel as been build some time ago.

Great pool. Good private beach.
The room is a bit vague. Still great overall. Excellent facilities

The best Ramadan buffet, world class food from the world class hotel. I had gone from Dubai to this iftar buffet and I ended up being there till 9pm. Ravishing

Lovely ambience... great place to dine.. has nice and quite sea view...

A very nice hotel with spacious rooms overlooking the Creek and the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, as well as the glass wall is really great, distinguished by its artistic touches, the food is delicious, and the staff are courteous. I recommend it strongly and the location is very busy. For the martyrs, as well as the fortress of the dynasty and Lansny Khor Daea suitable location

I never visit it but i beleive it is one of the best hotels in UAE.. if fairmont invite me for thier hotel then i will share with you more details

Best view for functions like engagement weddings parties
Daytime as well as night
Nov-Mar are best for outdoor events

Amazing experience. Fantastic staff and fabulous food.

Great service , staff are very attentive . Lovely rooms , great pool . Restaurants are great quality food is second to none , very impressed . We will definitely be back .

Had fantastic brunch; great selection of food, attentive staff, plentiful champagne and a relaxed, chilled out atmosphere.

I hope to stay there soon "; one of the nicest and most wonderful hotels I have seen and its location is distinguished and quiet away" from the bustle of life

Nice hotel but a bit cold and no balcony for smokers

Very nice hotel, with its own beach, and enough beach chairs around you do not have to fight, towels are also on the beach. The rooms were beautiful, with everything your heart desires. The breakfast buffet was great, eggs were freshly prepared in all variations, lots of fresh fruit, fruit juices and coffee and tea varieties of all kinds. The service was good and always friendly, you felt in good hands. I highly recommend this hotel

Great hotel which has one of the best Friday brunches

Where you want to take you family, gathering, office outings, cool food, good atmosphere, location is good. People are friendly, service is good.

The hotel is quiet and has an excellent location
The room has a bad smell, I don t know its damp
The official was saying from the air conditioner

The hotel is very beautiful and the treatment is very elegant, and special thanks to the room service group for their sophistication.

A great location with a wonderful view located on the Arabian Gulf Sea and opposite to the east Sheikh Zayed Mosque and St. Regis Hotel and the east of the hotel Shangri-La and Souk Al-Bari Hotel is available in the More

Food was fantastic. Wine was lovely if a little expensive, although that seems to be the norm in Abu Dhabi. Very disappointed with the cheese counter. I dropped one star for that. I was really looking forward to tucking into the cheese but it was really terrible. And I tried every available cheese. If they sort that out I would definitely rate the restaurant here with 5 stars.

Elegant and Stylish with Exceptional Service Standards

Hotel is sophisticated and clean and service is very good

This is a beautiful hotel clean and modern.
Staff are so friendly they can't do enough to make your stay memorable.
I will be coming back again especially for the clean safe beach and the buffet food the chefs prepare daily you will never be hungry.

The pool was full of children, the water was pretty cold in the pool, the beach is small and full of algae, there were no music also.
The entrance fee is overpriced though.

Pool & beach: Ive noticed they set the pool temp according to the weather (I think), so the pool water temperature always feels right. The staff that work at the restaurant are great and the food comes fast, but the prices are over priced and would like to see more reasonable priced options on the menu.

Rooms are very clean, swimming pool well maintained, plenty of restaurants and options, decent breakfast, overall highly recommended

Maison du beirut restaurant. A Lebanese authentic restaurant with amazing menu and delicious food. Presentation is beautiful too. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Slowly answer of any request, cleaning of room is normal

It remains one of the best structures of abu dhabi. .. expensive but recommended

Absolutely fantastic hotel Definitely 5 star lovely staff pleasant atmosphere. The grounds and views are amazing . Returning 01/08/2015

Beautiful, stylish hotel. Amazing location & views. Excellent food & lovely swimming pool & private beach. Service is outstanding & rooms luxurious. Overall, a delightful stay.

Over all ambience is really good and i have been to chameleon terrace from there you will enjoy the nice view of sh zayed mosque and some other buildings also.Food is also tasty and the timings are till midnite and they are following the strict sops of covid as you can only sit 4 ppl on 1 table. Apart from that if you are a icecream lover try there ice cream with hot browine its mouth watering. So if you are in need of relaxation you can go and spent some time there.

All I had in mind was the thrill of staying at Fairmont The Plam back in October 2017, it was all business, so I decided to have a family experience on a weeked there but all sold out. So I booked in at Fairmont Bab Al Bahar, right here in Abu Dhabi, between the bridges location. WEe had a warm welcome right from the Valet guys to the Reception. I was bit surprised by the security check and the main enterance, thats' a first for me in a UAE hotel. Check-in was pretty easy a smooth, took abut 10-15 minutes. Although we asked for connecting rooms with sea view, we did not get, but we did get rooms in the same floor 520 & 524. Rooms were well kept and good ambience, toilet and baths were super clean. Dinner & Breakfast came with the package so it was economical for us. The pool was very busy during the noon so we decide to hit the pool by 05:00 PM or so when it was almost empty. Nice pol and pool bar, also a jaccuzzi near by which can accomodate about 10 people or so. There was an Indian trrop concert that night so we enoyed watching it from the Shisha bar till late night. We had dinner and breakfast from CuiScene in the lower level. I had a bit of expectations about their dinner as I had tried at Fairmont The Palm and had loved the food from Flow Kitchen there, but here it was not upto the mark, considering the price. Same goes with breakfast. I just felt the experience at Fairmont The Palm was better overall. Another important thing that I just got irritated was about the supply of water bottles in the room, normally you would find atlest 4 bottles of water in most of the hotels I've been to, irrespective of the stars they hold, but here I could only find two, again when I called the house keeping to bring in more water for us, i am sure my wife ordered 4 bottles, but they came with only 2 bottles. I mean for all that price I paid for the room and food and they ration the water supply, that was a bit silly. And when you stay at a 5 Star hotel you would expect a lot more channels on their TV that was another disappointment for the kids. Wife said that wi-fi was slow, I used my 4G so I can't be sure on that.

Great hotel, if you stay here make sure you upgrade to gold floor. Private check in and most welcoming staff

wonderfull place.. went on an evening date just to chill in the lobby.. the coffee and cake was "A"mazing!!!
Must Try-- Carrot cake and cheesecake
Coffee: Rose Honey Coffee, Cafe Mocha(strong), Cold coffee..
Im in awe of this place.

Everything was perfect stay, Excellent location of the hotel, The rooms were clean comfortable and spacious, great window view towards the Grand mosque also, the pool and beach good to enjoy the view. Friendly staff and make our visit a worthwhile one. Our friends are amazed with the view from the room. All of the staff were exceptional. The service was very friendly and attentive , specially thanks to Ms. Juvy Pabalate (Manager Housekeeping) was truly one of a kind, Will definitely recommend this hotel to my family, co worker and other friends. The hotel do take pride in ensuring the comfort and pleasant experience during the stay, excellent service, great food and excellent hospitality by staffs at the hotel, specially from the housekeeping.

This is one of our favourite stop over hotels in Abu Dhabi.

The hotel is well maintained and has everything that you could need. The staff here are amazing, they all seem genuinely invested in making sure that you are enjoying your stay.

We have tried all of the restaurants and the best so far has been the newly open Marco Pierre White venue.

The breakfast buffet is amazing and worth staying just for that to be honest.

The hotel is also much closer to the airport than other places that we have stayed so that s a plus for us too.

If you are planning a trip to Abu Dhabi then a few extra dollars spent here is well worth it.

Fairmont Bab Al Bahr Hotel is one of the finest hotels that I have visited with its services, hospitality, staff, speed and responsiveness. The Fairmont Hotel Ajman also features all the specifications and unique sea views.

Really nice pool and beach with poolside food. Unfortunately the pool was closed when I went !

I had a blast experience at Fairmont Bab Al bahr , i tried all the restaurants honestly all of them are amazing specially Maison Beirut and Cafe Sushi

The buffet at cuisine restaurant not same like before.

Nice location, excellent sinking and convenient price

Very unique luxury hotel. Hard to describe the ambience. Should be checked out.

One of the best places to relax in AD.. I had some issues in the room but thanks to Mr. Mohamed Shaban who handled this issue in a very professional and respectful way. I recommend this hotel
