Housed in the world's furthest-leaning building, this hotel offers unique room views and a high-altitude infinity pool for a memorable stay.
Andaz Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi, is a unique property housed within the 'Capital Gate' building, recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's furthest-leaning man-made tower. I stayed here for three nights in January 2024 using points, which allowed for a relaxed pace to enjoy both the hotel's architectural charm and Abu Dhabi's major landmarks. Located within the ADNEC complex, the hotel offers excellent access to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and the pleasant January weather made it an ideal time to focus on the hotel's dining and amenities.
As a Globalist, I received a suite upgrade and a 4:00 PM late checkout without issue, and the staff's attentiveness during check-in was notable. The hotel's identity is defined by its slanted structure, which creates distinctive room views, and its high-altitude infinity pool. I would recommend this property to travelers attending business events at the nearby center or those seeking a memorable architectural experience and a relaxing stay at an Abu Dhabi landmark.
A suite wasn't available at check-in, but after we requested a Globalist upgrade and waited by the pool, a staff member personally found us to confirm it was ready. The room featured floor-to-ceiling windows that followed the building's slanted exterior, offering a unique perspective of downtown Abu Dhabi. The bathtub, positioned to take in the view, was a highlight. Seeing the diagonal steel structural beams just outside the glass really underscored the building's distinctive architecture.
Breakfast is served in the hotel restaurant, an airy space filled with hanging plants and geometric design. The buffet offered a wide variety of options, including an extensive bakery selection, local hummus, and made-to-order omelets. The charge was fully waived at checkout as a Globalist benefit, so there were no additional costs.
We also had dinner at the same restaurant. The dishes—including tuna tartare, scallops, and shrimp pasta—were excellent and highlighted fresh ingredients. Watching the chefs work in the open kitchen made this the most memorable dining experience of our Abu Dhabi trip.
The infinity pool, located on a high floor, is the best spot to take in the Abu Dhabi skyline and the coastal road. The unobstructed view over the glass railing made our time at the pool a truly special experience.
The staff were consistently kind and attentive. The gesture of a team member coming to the pool to notify us that our suite was ready after our initial request was particularly impressive.
Late checkout was honored on this stay: 4 PM
As of our January 2024 visit, it is worth expressing interest in a suite upgrade at check-in, even if one isn't immediately available, as the staff can be flexible. This hotel is ideal for travelers wanting to experience the landmark Capital Gate building or those planning a relaxed visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Located within the ADNEC complex, it is convenient for events and provides a great environment for dining and relaxing on-site.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is just a short distance from the hotel, making it easy to visit during our stay. We went twice—once during the day to appreciate its scale and again after sunset to see it illuminated—and found the proximity incredibly convenient.
The Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) shares the site with the hotel’s iconic Capital Gate tower. For those visiting for business, such as an exhibition or conference, the primary advantage is the convenience of staying on-site and avoiding a commute to the venue.
Highly accessible in the Deira district near Dubai airport, this property offers spacious suites and a rooftop pool, making it a practical choice for value-conscious travelers.
