Le Meridien Abu Dhabi

Le Royal Meridien is famed worldwide for its attention to detail and exemplary service, and the Abu Dhabi location of the hotel is certainly no exception. A beautiful seaside resort in the heart of the city, Le Royal Meridien sits on the lush ground of its own private garden and beach, a luxurious retreat for business and leisure travelers alike. Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi is a village of 234 guest rooms and suites, restaurants and lounges connected by a charming maze of grassy walkways. Throughout the winding village guests discover 15 restaurants and bars, the day-lit Eden spa, fitness center, and myriad indoor and outdoor meeting space.

From casual to formal, or classic to trendy guests at Le Royal Meridien are treated to a bounty of dining options designed to meet everyone’s taste or mood, from regional French cuisine at Le Bistro to seafood and Thai specialties at Talay. Drinking establishments are equally diverse and range from pints of English brew at the Captain’s Arms to fruity cocktails at Oasis Restaurant and Beach Bar.

Talay
With a name that translates as “ocean” in Thai, Talay at Le Meridien Abu Dhabi is famed for its sumptuous take on Thai cuisine and wide choice of freshly-caught seafood dishes. Its chic and sophisticated setting, which overlooks the hotel’s private beach and the sparkling azure waters of the Gulf beyond, is surely one of the capital’s most romantic destinations. While the alfresco terrace is a very popular option during the winter, during the summer months book a table in Talay’s cool interior, or for something more intimate, try the restaurant’s private dining area, a traditional Thai-style dwelling that’s absolutely perfect for two to share.
