Get a taste of luxury at the Emirates Palace Hotel
It costs nothing to go and visit the decadent Emirates Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi, which stretches one kilometre from wing to wing and oozes luxury — yet allows non-guests to venture inside. It’s massive, with more than 300 grand rooms and more than 90 suites, plus 114 domes, and a 2.5 km perimeter and jogging trail. The lavish interior features marble imported from 13 countries across the world, several striking water features, and 1002 chandeliers (the largest weighing in at 2.5 tonnes). Outside the hotel there are extensive landscaped gardens amongst 8000 trees and 12 fountains. To visit this remarkable hotel, National Airline of UAE Etihad has flights to Abu Dhabi from most European capital cities and major regional airports
Whether you think the Emirates Palace is sublime or completely over-the-top, either way it’s quite a feast for the eyes and well worth a peek.
