Is it a palace? Or a hotel...? Or maybe both...?

A magnificent palace, or a hotel... or is it a palace, or a hotel...? Impressive, extravagantly ornate, yet fittingly dignified. Seven stars on a five-star scale — it truly deserves them.

A unique place

Once the emirates palace, now a hotel and attraction for its grandeur. Very opulent decoration, a real sight to see. We stopped for the famous gold cappuccino, using really gold flakes - tastes exactly like a good cappuccino haha but when in Abu Dhabi we thought why not and enjoyed the experience.
