About this hotel
Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental stands on Abu Dhabi's Corniche, a landmark property that opened in 2005 and operates under the Mandarin Oriental brand. The resort commands a beachfront setting with the scale and finishes expected of a luxury palace-style hotel, offering guests a mix of dining, spa facilities, and beach access integral to its on-site experience. The property has earned consistent external recognition. It holds a Forbes Travel Guide Property designation for 2026 and swept three World Travel Awards in 2025: World's Leading Luxury Beach Resort, Middle East's Leading Luxury Hotel, and Abu Dhabi's Leading Luxury Resort. These accolades reflect both the quality of its physical plant and its standing among Gulf luxury travellers and business guests who value proximity to Downtown Abu Dhabi and the Corniche waterfront.
