Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri

Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri is a resort-style hotel on the Qaryat Al Beri waterfront in Khor Al Maqta, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The property looks across the water toward Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and sits beside Souk Qaryat Al Beri, a modern souk with shops and restaurants, with the Sheikh Zayed Bridge nearby. Zayed International Airport is about 20 minutes away by road, and central Abu Dhabi and the Corniche are 20 to 25 minutes by car. The architecture draws on Arabic design, with low-rise wings, courtyards, arches and landscaped gardens that give the hotel a more spacious feel than the tower hotels in the city centre. Rooms are offered as Deluxe Rooms, Premier Rooms and suites, and many have balconies facing the waterway or the mosque. Dining spans several restaurants, covering Asian, Middle Eastern and international cuisine, with the brand's hospitality evident in a generous breakfast spread. Leisure facilities include multiple pools, a spa and a fitness centre, and the grounds are well suited to relaxed stays. Service is warm and family-friendly, and the resort also draws business and event guests. The hotel's boat and waterfront setting allow for sunset views of the mosque, which is a favourite photography subject. A concierge can arrange transfers, mosque visits, desert trips and tickets for Yas Island and Saadiyat Island attractions. Rates generally range from AED 700 to AED 2,500 per night, depending on season and room type. The resort suits travellers who want a quieter, garden-style base with cultural views, within reach of the capital's main sights.
