Simply Abu Dhabi XXII

1 6 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I To meet the needs of today’s business traveller, the work space and electronic/technical requirements were all given careful consideration in the meticulous design of the guest rooms. Each room offers auxiliary panels custom built into the furniture offering simplified connectivity between the in-room entertainment system and guests’ personal technology. The bathrooms feature a Spanish marble in soft beige, which is used throughout. Many bathrooms feature soaking tubs situated at windows, allowing guests to enjoy the views of New York while relaxing in the bath. The 42 one- and two-bedroom suites have been designed to reflect New York City life through the course of a day. Situated on the corners of each guest floor, the suites blend a modern interpretation of Asian flair with a luxurious, residential aesthetic commemorating three unique themes and colour palettes – New York Sunrise with vivid hues of orange and yellow, New York Dusk featuring shades of teal to reflect the waters of the Hudson River, and New York Nights showcasing vibrant tones of amethyst. To give but one example, the Oriental Suite features a large living and dining room accented by oriental-patterned silk damask draperies and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors covered with handcrafted oriental rugs. A separate, Mozambique wood-panelled library doubles as a study or a media room complete with the latest state-of-the-art Bang &Olufsen entertainment technology. Adjacent to the living and dining space is a kitchen with custom Italian cabinetry, granite countertops and flooring. The suite has a large master bedroom and bath, and includes a separate walk-in closet. Elsewhere, the 53rd Floor Presidential Suite features custom- designed furnishings in tones of chocolate brown, accented with luminous brushed gold and deep Chinese red accessories. The large Mozambique wood-panelled living and dining area lead to a private media room and study and fully equipped kitchen. Upholstered in pearl-toned silk, the master bedroom is adjacent to a sycamore- panelled walk-in closet and spectacular master bath.
