Living in the 'Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi' (18-degree tilt)
Floor-to-ceiling windows with vertigo-inducing views
Suspended pool deck on the 19th floor that hangs off the building
En bref : A spectacular architectural flex stranded in an exhibition center parking lot.
Évalué par @Latonyameason: I checked into the Andaz for a solo mental health break and it was exactly what I needed. The view from the tub is unmatched, and the whole room just screams peace. If you need to disconnect, this is the spot.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the leaning architecture and views but consistently lament the lack of walkable dining options.
Reality check
The pool deck looks cool but gets blasted by the sun with little shade; tiles can burn your feet.
You're an architecture nerd
You have business at ADNEC
You want 5-star luxury for a 4-star price

Housekeeping: Sharp and consistent. Daily refresh is thorough.
Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate marble. Deep soaking tubs are spotless.
Maintenance: Excellent condition, though exterior windows get dusty fast (desert life).

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir
Lobby is on the 18th floor; ground floor is just a transit lift.
Valet parking is free for guests (self-parking is tricky/gated).
The 'Tourism Dirham' fee is 4% of the room rate (AED 15 flat fee was abolished).
Quoi emporter
Polarized sunglasses (the glare off the Gulf and desert is intense)
Moisturizer (hotel air is extremely dry)
Uber/Careem app (you will need it for every outing)
Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix
Deluxe King (corner rooms often have the best dual-aspect views)
Panoramic View King (guarantees the floor-to-ceiling wow factor)
Chambres à éviter
Capital Suite (unless you want a pitch-black bedroom for deep sleep)
Lower floors (18-20) if you want to clear the ADNEC roof for better views
Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I'm staying for the architecture—please assign a room on the highest possible floor with a view clearing the ADNEC roof. Please avoid the Capital Suite with the windowless bedroom.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the pool actually heated?
Yes, temperature-controlled, but it's small and suspended—more for a dip and a photo than laps.
Can I walk to the Grand Mosque?
No. It looks close on a map, but it's a highway-locked 5-minute drive. Do not attempt to walk.
Is breakfast worth it?
Yes. Cyan Brasserie puts on a high-quality spread with French/Arabic fusion that beats the generic ADNEC cafes.
Does the room actually lean?
The floor is flat, but the window frames and pillars are tilted, giving a distinct 'leaning' sensation.
Is it good for families?
Not really. It's a business/lifestyle hotel. No kids' club or play areas.
How far is the airport?
About 20 minutes by taxi (approx. 60-80 AED).

Ask for a '05' or '06' series room for the best views towards the city and water.

The elevators have 3D art installations that are trippy and cool—look up.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The bedroom in the 'Capital Suite' is a windowless bunker.
💡You have to take two elevators to get to your room (Ground -> Lobby -> Room).
💡The outer glass skin of the building has a metal mesh that can slightly obscure photos.
💡Room service pizza is surprisingly excellent (thin crust, proper oven).
💡The 'Andaz Lounge' often has free coffee/snacks for guests during the day (check current policy).
