Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental is the city’s palace hotel, at the western end of the Corniche on West Corniche Road, with a private beach, a spa and, in its own words, award-winning restaurants. Hakkasan and Talea by Antonio Guida each hold one MICHELIN star (the MICHELIN Guide Abu Dhabi, November 2026); Le Café serves the hotel’s gold-flaked Palace Cappuccino.
