The place

The hotel is planned for Downtown Abu Dhabi alongside the Abu Dhabi canal, with waterfront views over Reem Island and Al Maryah Island, developed in partnership with Al Hazoom Group.

The concept

Mondrian Abu Dhabi, announced in March 2023, will be the brand's first UAE property, designed by Tristan Du Plessis around a contemporary interpretation of Middle Eastern architectural motifs across roughly 15 floors overlooking the canal. Plans call for six food-and-beverage venues, a rooftop pool and a separate crystal-clear lagoon pool, a ballroom, four meeting rooms, a spa and a kids' club.

Dining & wellness

Six food-and-beverage venues are planned, though a specific restaurant and chef line-up had not been published as of the most recent available reporting.
