Hyatt at Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the latest location to be opened by the rapidly expanding Hyatt Corporation. 

For nearly a decade the Grand Hyatt Shanghai held the position of the world’s tallest hotel.  With the new Abu Dhabi property it has set a record that will take something to beat.  The building tilts at 18 degrees, four times that of the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.  The architects have contrived so that the inner atrium provides a view to the sky and draws natural light into the core of the building.  Whilst standing at the outer periphery of a guestroom, visitors are made to feel as though they are floating in mid-air, since they cannot see the ground directly below them.

The hotel is strategically located adjacent to the thriving Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), within walking distance of the upmarket Embassy district and only 15 minutes from the international airport.

Occupying floors 18 to 33 of the Capital Gate building, Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi offers 189 luxury guestrooms and suites featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows with bird’s eye views of the Arabian Gulf and the city.  ADNEC offers 19 meeting rooms, two conference rooms, a large banquet hall and 785,000sq ft of interconnected exhibition space. www.hyatt.com
