It is nice to remember sometimes that professional hotels still exist, especially when the establishment has been around for some time. Old doesn't mean bad... Maintenance and upgrade are crucial. The Sheraton Abu Dhabi is situated on the Abu Dhabi Corniche, overlooking the Arabian Gulf within one kilometer from the Gold Souk, the Petroleum Exhibition and a few minutes away from the business district, is a proof of that.
I stayed at this nice hotel for couple of days during the Formula 1 Grand Prix week-end. The experience left me amazed: every single detail is mastered perfectly to keep you smiling at all times. Arriving at the Sheraton, bell boys rush to help me with my luggage. Showing you the way to the reception where nice welcoming hostesses who take their time checking you in. Rush up to your room where further discoveries await you.
