The UAE is proud home to many world records. Tallest building in the world? Check. Largest fountain on the planet check? Furthest Manmade Leaning Building? Of course. And Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi is the holder of that accolade. It’s also one of the coolest buildings in the city. So why wouldn’t you want to book a stay here?
The 188 rooms – including 21 suites – have panoramic views across the sea or the city skyline through massive floor-to-ceiling windows.
There’s a stunning outdoor pool on the 19th floor (don’t forget to take your camera phone to snap those beaut views) while the hotel has a spa, Rayana Spa, that offers treatments based on water, sun, sand and botanicals for when you need to relax.
When it comes to dining you’re spoilt too, as there’s Rayana Latin Tapas Bar for a lively Latin American night out and sundowners, and Cyan Brasserie is making waves on the restaurant scene in the capital thanks to its French-Arabic cuisine. Meanwhile if you’re looking to relax with a drink, 18 Degrees Bar has both indoor seating and a super outdoor terrace with views across the UAE capital and out to the Arabian Gulf.
Staying in a Guinness World Record holder? It’s a yes from us.
Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi, Khaleej Al Arabi Street (02 596 1234).
