heritage of the UAE as part of the educational games and activities on offer. All this is alongside painting, food making, UAE folk art and literature and indigenous craft making. It all sounds so interesting we almost wish there was an adult’s version of the programme! Everything about the Rosewood hotel, from the care and attention invested in its young visitors, through to the flawless design and service, all contributes to the world-class status that is achieved when a hotel combines the values and traditions of its host community with the best in luxury offerings. After our tour we enjoyed a truly special meal in Sambusek, sharing an array of Levantine dishes and soaking up the atmosphere in true Beiruti style. When I finally retired to my bed and gazed out across the Arabian waters, it was a comfort to know I had all the next day to continue enjoying this special place. With eight more restaurants and lounges and so much more of the Galleria and surrounding area to visit, it would be easy to stay for weeks. The Rosewood Abu Dhabi is a tremendous new addition to the city and we will certainly be back in future. Everything about the place guarantees you will have a good time. As Radha Arora, the President of Rosewood Hotels and Resorts says, “This stunning hotel exemplifies the Rosewood Sense of Place® philosophy with its spectacular design and unrivalled guest experiences and underscores our commitment to providing exquisite luxury experiences in key business and leisure destinations around the globe. The opening of Rosewood Abu Dhabi is a spectacular addition to our existing Middle East hotels and a significant milestone for us as we continue our global expansion.” 3 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
