About Andaz Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi
- Capital Gate leans 18 degrees westward, earning the Guinness World Record for the world's furthest-leaning man-made tower, more than four times the lean of Pisa's famous campanile.
- The tower was the first building in the world to use a pre-cambered concrete core engineered to straighten under the weight of its upper floors, meaning it was intentionally built bent to end up straight.
- When Hyatt rebranded the property in 2018, it became the first Andaz hotel in the Middle East, brand number 18 in the Andaz global portfolio at the time.
- A French-Arabic dining room and a 19th-floor tapas bar look over the city and the Gulf from inside the lean.
