What the classifiers highlight
"Gate to the sea" is what the name means in Arabic, and the sapphire-blue facade traces Abu Dhabi Creek with views toward the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Forbes counts 369 rooms and suites, eight restaurants, and a beach club built around an Olympic-length pool, a family pool and jacuzzi, minutes from Ferrari World, the Yas Marina circuit and Yas Waterworld.
