A low-rise, resort-style hotel along the Grand Canal, with some of the best hotel-room views of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque anywhere in the city.
Built in a traditional Arabian waterside style along the Grand Canal, Shangri-La's setting is its strongest card — several room categories and the pool deck look directly across the water toward the Grand Mosque's domes and minarets, especially striking lit up at night.
The resort-style layout (multiple pools, extensive gardens, a private beach) gives it a different feel from the high-rise hotels closer to the Corniche.
