"Emirates Palace sits on the western end of the Abu Dhabi Corniche, next to the Royal Palace, and is as popular for its gold-laden interior as for its stately exterior and expansive leisure offerings. Rooms are elaborate, elevated by their marble bathrooms and palatial-style furnishings"

"Emirates Palace sets the standard for luxury lodging in Abu Dhabi. This sprawling resort says its goes "beyond 5-star luxury" for its clientele — who are oftentimes visiting royals and dignitaries"

"Emirates Palace is grandiose and all about the bling. From its position on the western end of the Corniche, the eight-story, one-kilometer-long hotel is hard to miss; after all, it's larger than Buckingham Palace. Dripping in gold and boasting the largest dome in world, the five-star property screams luxury."
