Anantara catches the mood in Abu Dhabi
Anantara is set to launch its first city hotel in the Middle East, the 222-room Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara in Abu Dhabi.
Due to open in June, the luxury hotel will be home to the UAE’s largest Hammam treatment rooms and VIP suite, The Royal Mangroves Residence.
The hotel will be Anantara’s third property in the UAE. Its current portfolio includes Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, located in the Liwa Desert’s Empty Quarter, and Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara on Sir Bani Yas Island.
The new property forms part of an integrated hotel, marina, retail and residential destination, 10 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi.
The Royal Mangroves Residence offers interconnecting rooms for families which can be adapted depending on guest requirements, with options from three up to seven en-suite guest rooms and balconies.
The Residence has its own rooftop swimming pool, private gym and dedicated entrance with guest access to a limousine service, private chef, butler and a massage and beauty therapist during their stay.
Another interesting feature is the Impressions rooftop lounge which will feature an LED roofline and lounge front that changes colour to suit the mood of the evening; aqua, blue, teal and purple will be programmed to fade and morph to whichever type of music is playing.
