Important Notes

Important Notes

using p tags

The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal is carrying out several enhancement projects in October 2026 while remaining fully operational.

Works to the second-floor terraces are expected to cause moderate noise until 15 October 2026. The Li Jiang terrace is also undergoing tile installation, with work scheduled to continue until 15 October.

Minor tile replacement is taking place along the pool walkway and is expected to continue until 31 October 2026.

A new hair salon is also being developed. The demolition phase, which is expected to generate the most noticeable noise, runs through 5 October. From 6 October through December, the remaining installation and finishing works are expected to be quieter.

The resort is using visual screening and noise-reduction measures to minimise the impact on guests. Overall, the resort remains open and operational, although guests should expect some construction activity during their stay.

Our experience here as a family was truly amazing! From the delicious food and wide variety of options to the exceptional housekeeping, everything was beyond our expectations. A big thank you to all the waiters and chefs, especially Vishnu, who served us with such warmth and kindness at the buffet, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. A special thanks to our housekeeper also, who paid so much attention to details and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. Overall worth the money 😊
Khaled AlHouli
Whether you're visiting for business or just taking a pleasure holiday, this place is in the perfect spot for a great getaway. The building itself is a total work of art—so much gorgeous marble and luxury finishes everywhere you look. It’s basically a massive resort, but still feels quiet and peaceful with literally everything you need right inside. The staff are super nice and the service is spot on. Some of the restaurants even have Michelin stars, and the buffet breakfast is honestly outstanding. The rooms are huge and really comfortable, and the pool and other amenities cover everything you could possibly imagine. An incredible experience all around!

We had an amazing stay at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi. The grand lobby with its stunning chandeliers creates a fantastic first impression, and the views from the room and also especially of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque at night—are simply breathtaking. The hotel offers a great selection of high-end restaurants, and the food at the Punjabi restaurant was absolutely delicious. The breakfast spread was outstanding, with an excellent variety and quality that catered to every taste. The beautifully illuminated landscape at night adds to the charm of the property. A special thank you to the front desk team for their warm hospitality. They kindly arranged an early check-in, late check-out, and upgraded us to a sea-view room at no extra cost, which made our stay even more memorable. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The rooms are spacious, elegant, and very comfortable, and the huge swimming pool was another highlight of our stay.

Thank you so much, Nandany and Janica, for the exceptional service! 💗 This was my first time visiting The Ritz Carlton Spa since they opened, and I loved every part of the experience. Nandany was incredibly welcoming and supportive from sharing the treatment menu to the moment I booked my appointment. When arriving for my appointment, she took the time to explain everything, gave me a tour of the spa, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Janica was an amazing professional therapist. The massage was relaxing from beginning to end, and it was clear that she is highly experienced and truly passionate about what she does. Thank you to the entire Spa team for such a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to come back, this will definitely be new my go-to spa from now on! ✨💆🏻‍♀️🧖‍♀️
Iman Bushnaq
We had an absolutely amazing stay at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, and we would like to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional hospitality we received. A special thank you goes to Nelly at the front desk. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with a warm, genuine smile and made us feel truly valued. She took the time to explain all the hotel’s facilities and services in detail, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Every request we made was accommodated promptly and efficiently, always with kindness, professionalism, and a positive attitude. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. Their attention to detail, genuine care for guests, and outstanding service made our experience truly memorable. Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations, from the beautiful property and excellent facilities to the exceptional level of service. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and we look forward to returning in the future. Thank you to Nelly and the entire Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi team for making our stay so enjoyable and unforgettable.
