Orchid: A Floating Hotel in Abu Dhabi
The popular Yas Island resort in Abu Dhabi has acquired a new, unusual hotel. Now, you can stay not only in one of the many luxury hotels, but also right on the water – in a floating hotel.
The Orchid isn’t just a boat docked at the pier; it’s a floating hotel (a portmanteau of “boat” and “hotel”) that offers short cruises, during which guests can enjoy cocktails on the sundeck overlooking the sunset. Guests also have access to a restaurant, a shared lounge, a bar, a garden, and a spacious outdoor terrace with sun loungers, as well as free Wi-Fi throughout.
The five-star hotel has 31 cabins:
• 24 Superior rooms of 25 sq. m
• 4 VIP rooms of 30 sq. m
• 3 Royal Suites of 60 sq. m.
Each accommodation option features a private bathroom with a shower, as well as air conditioning, a TV, and a refrigerator. Guests can enjoy 24-hour concierge service and an intelligent room management system.
