The Iconic Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi will be managed under the Mandarin Oriental Group as of 1st January 2020.
The hotel will be rebranded as a Mandarin Oriental property and will see a two-year renovation period that will restore and upgrade the hotel to today’s standards. Guestrooms and public areas will see significant upgrades and the property will also open new dining options.
The hotel has become somewhat iconic since its initial opening in 2005. The set of many films, photoshoots and a must-see tourist destination for millions of tourists, it has become more than just a hotel, but an iconic landmark in the city’s skyline. It has a private beach of 1.3 kilometres and houses 394 guestrooms, 12 restaurants and bars and a ballroom that can accommodate up to 2,500 people.
