The place
The 37-storey hotel stands at the western end of Abu Dhabi's Corniche, in the Al Ras Al Akhdar district, with its own private beach directly opposite the Emirates Palace.
The concept
Bab Al Qasr Hotel opened as the second property under Millennium's Biltmore Collection, a large-scale, 37-storey addition to the western Corniche skyline distinguished by its copper-coloured cladding among the area's blue-tinted towers. At 677 rooms, it is one of the largest single hotel openings on this list, positioned as an upper-upscale rather than ultra-luxury property, with a private beach and marina.
