Presenting a completely new hotel experience for modern travelers, the other Marriott property - five-star Marriott Hotel Downtown Abu Dhabi - is an exciting new travel destination that exhilarates the mind through blending sophisticated design and innovative functionality.

Supplemented by unique dining and wellness options, the hotel is set to become a local hub for business and leisure as well as a global MICE destination. 

As a five-star dining destination in Abu Dhabi, the hotel will provide guests with a variety of culinary experiences. Inspired by the community and headed by expert chefs, the concepts are unique to the city. JW Steakhouse brings Marriott’s signature steakhouse concept to the capital, offering a contemporary take on the classic American steakhouse with premium quality cuts enhanced by varied dry-ageing techniques and paired with classic steakhouse sides. Kuzbara, for its part, offers a market place atmosphere for breakfast, lunch and dinner with live and interactive cooking stations serving the best of the coriander trail that reflects the influences of Asian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Meanwhile, Central Grounds is the ideal coffee shop and meeting hub that offers free Wi-Fi access throughout its premises, as well as convenient on-the-go flavourful bites, showcasing innovative coffee-making methods and ‘gourmet freak-shakes’.

The hotel will also provide a range of wellness options for travelers with the Saray Spa & Health Club offering six individual treatment rooms, a fitness center and rooftop swimming pool. Set to open later this year, the Saray Spa draws inspiration from the timeless rituals and invigorating treatments of the authentic caravanserai - places of rest and recovery on the Silk Road. Combined with today’s belief in genuine results and high-quality natural products, the Saray Spa will serve as an urban sanctuary offering the best of both worlds. 

Meetings and events are expertly catered for within the hotel’s 1,500 square meter flexible convention space that includes 21 conference rooms for intimate meetings to large scale conferences.
