We chanced upon this hotel during a previous staycation experience at the InterContinental Abu Dhabi. We wondered what this building designed in a sleek, modern black color was and we found out it was the Grand Hyatt. Somehow it captivated us and we decided that this time, our staycation destination would be this luxury propety.And we were not disappointed!
Note: We’re so glad that the Al Hosn Green Pass status has been scrapped already so there’s no need to have a PCR test before travelling to Abu Dhabi.
