Abu Dhabi. Hotel Information

[BigHat849]

This will be my first time venturing down to Abu Dhabi and not staying downtown. I won't be visiting until November, but I was wondering if anyone has stayed at the Ritz and if it's green? The price is extremely affordable right now, so I figured I'd give it a try unless anyone has had a negative experience there. Thoughts?

Haven't used the Ritz for the hobby, but there is a garage you can park in and easily go up to your room once you have your key without having to interact with any guards or staff.

Tried the hotel this week for a meet up. Green but you have to register your guest. I picked my date downstairs, and went straight up to the room, but was called by reception for the registration. They were very helpful, offered to come pick up the ID to complete the registration before bringing it back up to the room.

Got a good same day booking rate from rehlat.ae as well.

I confirm that Corniche hotel is guestfriendly.

Hi people,

I need just to understand if Hotel Corniche in AD is guestfriendly or not.

Thank you in advance.

I've gone to Jannah twice and years apart and both times were green no problem. Didn't even bother calling to check beforehand.

Thanks. This is great information. I saw them respond to the question on booking but seems the enforcement of that is not there.

Been researching for my upcoming layover in AD and wanted to share the updates here. This is based on hours of online research so please correct me if you have experienced differently.

1. Yes most AD hotels are green but there are a select few that are NOT. Eg. Jannah. So best to confirm with hotel.

2. Booking dot com has been extremely helpful for online research. Almost all hotels have Q&A (I'm using the app) and I've noticed "unmarried couple allowed" is a common question that's asked for each hotel.

3. Beware of the walk of shame if that matters to you. Eg. In my case the layover hotel is provided by the airline and has a very high likelihood of having known people. Strongly contemplating finding a separate hotel, especially if the walk of shame is shorter / avoidable.

Now. I do have a question for folks here. The AD thread outlines the popular "takeout" locations. But is it a fair assumption that most 4-5 Star hotel bars will typically have a few takeaway WG options on hand?

Are Novel or City Seasons green?

I haven't seen Southern Sun mentioned in this thread yet, so just wanted to give a shout out to the hotel. Really nice rooms at a relatively cheap price, totally green with registration, a short walking distance from the Rock Bottom, Mr. O's, 49 ers, ect., and lenient on the Al Hosn requirements. I stay here every time and haven't found a reason to stop.

Green all the way.

Want to avoid walk of shame? I don't care but if required.

Park in basement.

Check-in. Get two cards.

Pass it to girl waiting in car. And walk to lift separately.

Enjoy.

Bathtub in the bedroom itself.

Hi Ricky, both are GF. LRM, I stayed and no problem to get multiple girls, during day even they send guests to your room without any issues. Illusion club On level 4 was attracting good crowd prior to pandemic. LE meridian has a bar as well and walkable distance to 49 er bar in the Al Diar Dana Hotel. Enjoy your trip and share your experience.

Thanks Melman! My fights and hotel are now booked. I have just got back from Boots and got a new box on condoms and some lube. I also picked up a pack of blue pills from the Chemist. The only thing left to do is to book my fit to fly PCR test before I leave. I can't wait. I wish I was going now, the weather the UK is really crap now!

The 49 ers formerly located in Al Diar Dana moved in January 2020 to the LE Meridian Complex!

I will be coming to Dubai next month and have decided to pop over to Abu Dhabi for 3 nights. I have been to Dubai over 10 times but never to AD. This will be my first trip and I want to make sure I am in the right area. I have read the forum and it is very useful when it comes to hotels. I collect Marriot Bonvoy points so I want to stay at one of their places with the hope of getting a free upgrade.

What Meridien is better in terms of location? LE Royal Mridien or LE Mridien? Both appear to be girl friendly so that is ok.

I am assuming being near the Corniche is the best place to be located given my limited time? Most of the day will be spent doing touristy stuff.

Cheers.

Are.
