The 200 guest rooms at the Four Seasons Abu Dhabi, which opened in 2016, are modern, fresh and stylish, with plush, white linen–clad beds, upholstered furniture in creams and plum and full-length, floor-to-ceiling windows with gorgeous city views. As can be expected with Four Seasons properties, the service is flawless and every modern luxury is taken into consideration.

The public spaces, too, are outfitted in sleek and contemporary décor, and consist of three restaurants (Butcher & Still is a steakhouse, Café Milano serves Italian cuisine and Crust offers international fare) plus three lounges–including one located on the rooftop by the expansive outdoor pool. There is also large spa and separate gyms for men and women, as well as a children’s program.

While it is removed from the other high-end city hotels (including the St. Regis and Jumeirah), the Four Seasons is located in a prime space that allows easy access to that city center, plus the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the up-and-coming Saadiyat Island, home to the in-construction outposts of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums.
