Travellers' Choice
Opened in the first quarter 2012, the Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche (part of Capital Plaza building) is ideally situated in the heart of the city, close to the seafront and the business and financial center. It enjoys a privileged location on Corniche Road, one of the most prestigious district. The maritime centre Port Zayed, the Souk, famous for its rugs and Dhow Harbour, home to the traditional transport and fishing boats which still take to the waters of the Arabian Gulf, are all a short distance from the hotel. The hotel offers all the services of a world-class French establishment, blending its origins with the best of the Oriental influences: butler service and executive lounge access (Club Millesime) for club rooms and suites, and the famous MyBed concept and Bose wave in all rooms. Each of the rooms offer breathtaking views over city and Arabian Gulf. Additionally, the hotel offers 3 signature restaurants and 3 bars, a pool, a spa and wellness space and 9 meeting rooms. A ballroom can also welcome up to 1000 visitors and therefore host any kind of events.

This is a beautiful hotel. A bit too far from the Centre. Excellent rooms and bathrooms. Friendly staff. Strangely indications inside the hotel to reach the à la carte restaurant next to the swimming pool and worse the coffee shop are close to zero. To reach the coffee shop you need a guide otherwise you won’t find it. For the rest it is a great hotel

I have been staying at Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche on a weekly basis for the past 2 years, as I commute for work from Dubai. While the hotel is ideally located on the Corniche and close to downtown Abu Dhabi, with good facilities, it is actually the staff makes it a home away from home. From Reception, restaurants, room cleaning, valet and security teams, the staff will do all they can to accommodate your needs on a timely manner and with a smile. Being a regular guest and a Platinum ALL member, I am treated with regular upgrades and the best views whenever they’re available. Special thanks to Ms Vashee and Ms Sabina, for their fantastic guest relationship skills, to Mr Richard for his wonderful hospitality and amazing service at the Club Lounge, to Mr Kirlos, Mr Andrew, Ms Nesrine and Mr William for their all-time genuine smiles (even in the busiest periods!) and their kind words always. Looking forward to seeing you all again next week!

Very comfortable and quiet hotel. I especially like the view and the flow between the bath tub and the room. The housekeepers, Jina & Hajarah took the extra effort to turn over my mattress when I complained, and added extra padding to ensure it was comfortable for my sleeping convenience. Thank you guys.

Lovely property - though a business theme hotel it was very child friendly - like the daily shuttle service to YAS Island theme parks, Louvre, etc. Superb French hospitality; visible from the breakfast buffet spread to the decor. Thank you to Rabih ZEIN (General Manager) for his generous treats. Superb location in the heart of Corniche. Spacious rooms and good cleanliness levels. The Business Lounge was good and worth taking club rooms.

Great service from Reshikesk and Sabina, . Thanks for assisting me with my stay. The rest of team were great. Had a bit of a wait at checking but I think I was unlucky with my arrival time.. Very helpful at organising taxi services and providing information on other local services.

Outstanding place to stay. Staff were fabulous, especially Richard in Club Millésime. Rooms are well appointed and have the usual Sofitel comfort and chic feel. Restaurants are great too. I especially enjoyed the Thai offer, with really good service and flavours.

We thought we’d try the main restaurant in the hotel and were pleasantly surprised when we found out it was an ‘all you can eat’ buffet. The lovely lady at the entrance swiftly showed us to our table and explained how everything worked (free flow soft drinks were also included in the price). There was an Asian theme on that night and there was a huge variety of things to choose from. Nothing was too spicy but everything still had plenty of flavour and there were generous amounts of meat in each dish (unlike many buffets where they ‘bulk out’ the food with cheap vegetables). Things were continuously being topped up and everything seemed super fresh. I especially enjoyed the noodles counter where the chef prepared noodles with the meats and vegetables of your choice. The waiter was very attentive and came round on several occasions to make sure our plates had been cleared and that we had plenty of drinks throughout.
