Why it stands out

The property leans into an Italian-inspired design language — ornate architecture, internal canals and boat transfers between parts of the resort — an unusual and memorable theme not replicated elsewhere in Abu Dhabi's hotel scene.

Like its Grand Canal neighbours, it's within easy reach of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, making it a strong base for a culture-focused stay.
