Quick stopover

We were only in Abu Dhabi for an overnight stopover on our flight home. We chose the Ritz Carlton both for its reputation as well as its proximity to the grand mosque so we could take an after hours tour. The service was outstanding and very friendly. The room was large and comfortable. And the mosque in the background made for an almost fairy tale setting. I would definitely love to spend more time at this hotel in the future.
