It's a beautiful property. Our room was very spacious with a wonderful view of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. However, we were disappointed with the quality of food and service in the restaurants. The breakfast buffet was underwhelming and the service at Mazaj was disappointing and (somewhat condescending).

Overall my stay at the Fairmont was good due to the staff and service. I did find the facilities quite tired and worn out, for example the wallpaper in our initially allocated room was peeling off, weird smell etc. The hotel could definitely do with a renovation as it’s clear it’s very old and needs a refresh. The staff were exceptional though, except for one colleague at the front of Mazaj (Lebanese restaurant) who was quite passive aggressive and rude, all were amazing.
