About Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island
- London practice PLP Architecture designed the 144-metre tower's distinctive vertical-fin façade as an abstraction of traditional souk textile weaves, a rare instance of a financial-district skyscraper drawing its visual identity from a bazaar rather than a corporate grid.
- The hotel has a direct covered connection to The Galleria, Abu Dhabi's premier luxury shopping mall, making it the only Five-Star property in the capital where guests never leave air conditioning between room and flagship boutique.
- Butcher & Still at the hotel is one of the highest-rated steakhouses in Abu Dhabi, a Prohibition-era American chophouse concept transplanted into the city's main financial free zone, where it operates under ADGM's common-law jurisdiction.
- The hotel earned both a 2025 Michelin One Key designation and a 2026 Forbes Five-Star, only a handful of Abu Dhabi properties hold both ratings simultaneously.
History
Opened in May 2016 as Abu Dhabi's first Four Seasons, this 34-storey glass tower on Al Maryah Island blends urban chic with waterfront views of the Arabian Gulf. Developed by Mubadala Real Estate in the city's financial hub, its distinctive vertical lines are inspired by souk textiles. Directly connected to The Galleria mall and Abu Dhabi Global Market.
The setting
Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi occupies a 34-storey tower on Second Street of Al Maryah Island, the capital's master-planned international financial centre governed by Abu Dhabi Global Market — a common-law free zone hosting more than 1,800 global companies. The Galleria, Abu Dhabi's premier luxury shopping destination with flagships including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Tiffany, connects directly to the hotel. Al Maryah Island's waterfront promenade is a 15-minute walk, and historic Qasr Al Hosn is 23 minutes by taxi. The island's walkable scale, concentrated financial energy, and world-class dining make it the natural address for a Four Seasons in Abu Dhabi's purpose-built new downtown.
