HOTEL REVIEW
ABOVE LEFT: Guestrooms are luxurious and elegant in their simplicity ABOVE RIGHT: The bar area of The Park Bar & Grill
ingredients are, where possible, local. Set close to the hotel’s swimming pools and with uninterrupted views of the Arabian Sea, Beach House serves Mediterranean cuisine and is designed in a similarly minimalist way to the rest of the hotel. There is no extraneous decoration, just the sand-coloured shape of the building and its rooftop, with wood-outline canopy. With wood accents, bar tables and beach chairs, the restaurant exudes casual elegance. “We’re going to enlarge the Beach House and probably add another restaurant next year,” says Riley. “This one gets really packed at the weekends.” There are 306 guestrooms, suites and villas. The hotel is set as an open-C and bedrooms either face the golf course or have a clear beachfront view. Each 50m2
guestroom has a
balcony or terrace, the design is contemporary with Arabic touches such as the white marble in the guest bathroom originating from Oman. The 186m2
villas are beachfront
with their own private pool and deck. Extensive meeting facilities lend themselves
to a variety of events. Meeting venues within the hotel include eleven flexible function rooms, all spacious with natural light. There is also The Residence, which is designed to feel like a luxurious Emirati home as opposed to a meeting space, and can be used for business and social gatherings. On the other side of the lobby, Atarmia Spa, which is spread out over two floors, has fitness facilities, a tennis court, sauna, steam room and whirlpool room. There are nine treatment rooms offering an array of massages including the Quiro Golf Massage, which has received a lot of attention in local press due to the proximity of the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. Hospitality is a theme that comes across strongly. Guests can expect a warm welcome and everywhere you go – the lobby, bar, the tea lounge – seems to be designed as an invitation to sit around.
