Abu Dhabi Hotels

Cheap hotels in Abu Dhabi are not easy to come by – even the 2- and 3-star options are not that wallet-friendly. However, the quality tends to be high, and many of the luxury options offer discounts for tourists on weekends, as well as during the hot summer months (low season).

The Abu Dhabi hotels below have been handpicked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over Dhs2,000)
Moderate (Dhs1500 to Dhs2000)
Cheap (up to Dhs1500)

These prices are for a double room per night and include all taxes and breakfast, unless otherwise indicated.
