Need some hotel advice!
Posted: Sun October 26, 2008 04:18 PM UTC

Hey gang!

I will be in Abu Dhabi on business in November and will be visiting the Al Ghaith Tower on Hamdan Street. I know nothing about AD as I have never been there. Can anyone give me some suggestions on a hotel in the area? Thanks in advance for the guidance.

So are the tower and the hotels located near the Corniche? I don't even know what area of town this is.

he,
I advise you to go to Cairo or Beriut instead, they are much better and hotels are cheaper. Abu Dhabi and Dubai hotels are stupidley expensive.

Well im in abuhdbai .. and i know exactly where is the Gieth tower it is located on hamdan str. Say the very heart of abu dhabi downtown. you might need some luck to get a taxi out there on peak hour. but it is a nightmare to find a parking space at that area therefore a hotel within a walkable distance is very much recommended!
the nearest one -hands down- and just across the street from algieth tower is abu dhabi crown plaza .. you can google for its homepage .. i used to be a club member in it .. it is a four star i think .. however it is clean and they've got gym, sauna , steam and a top roof pool ..
The maha Rotana and is also in the same block and very near as well .. and you have abu dhabi novotel which is cheaper and less equipped than the other two ..
The rotana intenational is a block away and very much walkable.. another couple new smaller hotels are in the area i don’t remember their names .

I booked a room at the Rotana and am typing from there right now. I have to say that it is a beautiful, well appointed hotel and very close to the tower BUT...they have no bar and no booze. Coming from saudi Arabia I need a bit of both right now.

I appreciate all the advice from everyone.
