Design and Guestrooms

Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi, developed by New York-based architects Perkins Eastman and Singapore-based designers Wilson Associates, incorporates energy efficient design techniques that meet LEED’s silver standards while also complementing the island’s natural beauty. The design team has created an “urban resort” concept for Saadiyat Island with interiors that have a contemporary understated design mixed with Arabian culture. Different components of the resort are connected by landscape elements, courtyards, covered walkways and gardens.

Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi’s 306 spacious rooms, suites and private villas offer guests a secluded and luxurious place to retreat. Each room has a spacious, open-plan bathroom with an oversized stand-alone bath tub and dedicated rain-shower area as well as a spacious balcony with views towards the Arabian Sea, golf club or hotel swimming pools. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, the resort’s luxurious Beach View, Garden View Suites and Villas offer guests a private, residential ambience and also feature a large terrace with a private plunge pool, rain shower and sunbeds overlooking Saadiyat Beach or the Golf Club.

The design of all guest rooms is contemporary with a blend of Arabian décor. All wooden elements in guest bedrooms and corridors originate from a mixture of oak and black American walnut from Finland. Guest bathroom features are made from Chinese lava wave marble as well as white marble originating from Oman.
