Presenting a completely new hotel experience for modern travelers, the other Marriott property - five-star Marriott Hotel Downtown Abu Dhabi - is an exciting new travel destination that exhilarates the mind through blending sophisticated design and innovative functionality.

Supplemented by unique dining and wellness options, the hotel is set to become a local hub for business and leisure as well as a global MICE destination.
As a five-star dining destination in Abu Dhabi, the hotel will provide guests with a variety of culinary experiences. Inspired by the community and headed by expert chefs, the concepts are unique to the city. JW Steakhouse brings Marriott’s signature steakhouse concept to the capital, offering a contemporary take on the classic American steakhouse with premium quality cuts enhanced by varied dry-ageing techniques and paired with classic steakhouse sides. Kuzbara, for its part, offers a market place atmosphere for breakfast, lunch and dinner with live and interactive cooking stations serving the best of the coriander trail that reflects the influences of Asian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.

The hotel will also provide a range of wellness options for travelers with the Saray Spa & Health Club offering six individual treatment rooms, a fitness center and rooftop swimming pool.
