BEAUTIFUL HOTELS

Nestled between pristine beaches and lush garden landscapes, @shangrilaabudhabi is a one-of-a-kind oasis in the heart of the bustling UAE capital. Designed in a classic Arabesque style, the hotel's 213 rooms, 161 apartments and 7 bars and restaurants exude a quintessential Arabic flair, from the traditionally arched doorways to the vibrant color schemes to the winding waterways that connect various parts of the hotel property — yes, you heard that right, guests travel by abra (a traditional Arabic boat) to get to and from the hotel's facilities. Travel tip: Be sure to indulge in a "Four Hands Harmonizing Massage" at CHI, The Spa, where the hands of skilled therapists will lull you into a state of complete calm and relaxation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (
