Tucked into Al Bateen — one of the city’s quieter, villa-lined residential pockets — InterContinental Residences Abu Dhabi trades the typical hotel-room formula for spacious apartments with well-equipped kitchens, marble bathrooms and dining areas framed by floor-to-ceiling Gulf views. Ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, these versatile residences are equally suited to an extended business trip as a quick beach getaway with the family. With its sister property, InterContinental Abu Dhabi, just a short walk away, guests enjoy easy access to the hotel’s impressive amenities, including a private beach club and a collection of restaurants along the Marina Walk waterfront promenade. Among them, the long-running Fishmarket spotlights fresh seafood, while Lebanese favorite Byblos Sur Mer serves up spectacular grilled bites and mezze platters.
Capitalizing on the waterfront setting, many suites include furnished balconies, and the upper-floor residences reward guests with sweeping views of the Gulf. Throughout it all, service operates to the consistently high InterContinental standard.
