It’s been so long since we ventured out on a staycation in Abu Dhabi. Since the pandemic started, I was on a full lockdown mode for a good three months. Now that the hotels and restaurants have opened up we booked ourselves a well-deserved treat away from home. Going outside once in a while to places I’m comfortable with has also eased my mind and reduced my stress.

Since tourism has not picked up yet, there are loads of deals on hotel staycations this summer in Abu Dhabi! Many of them offering half or even full-board during the stay. We opted for dinner and breakfast to be included in our room.

Modern, sophisticated and intricately designed luxury property is the essence of The Edition Hotel in Abu Dhabi. We got the opportunity to stay here for a weekend while celebrating Jon’s birthday in February.

Situated in Al Bateen area, they have fantastic restaurants all around the area and beautiful marina walk. It is a shame that there has been so much construction over the past year in this area, but I hope it clears up soon. Their lobby and their rooms are beautifully decorated with a neutral palette with vibrant plants. I love the warm tones which will surely make you feel super relaxed at this hotel.

I had mentioned to the staff it was my husbands birthday this month and they have prepared a wonderful surprise in our room. Their guest relations team really went beyond my expectations. Inside had a personalized cake and a bottle of sparkling. I love a good celebration.
