Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I love this place, it's wonderful
There is nothing better than viewing Abu-Dhabi from that vantage point. It has a lot of islands, so it is very unique

It was lovely to sit with a drink and watch the sun go down. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit - afternoon tea was amazing and happy hour is not to be missed.

Located on 74th floor, this place is very nice if you want to have a cup of coffee and some amazing pastries! I went around suntime and its in Corniche area which is very close to Qasr Al Watan! The views are amazing and the staff service is also nice. I ordered 2-3 things for ~60 AED and was not charged anything extra for access! Would definitely recommend for 1-2 hours especially if you are with spouse don't forget to book evening tea a day before

As we booked an Afternoon Tea, Upon arrival, a great smile welcome us from the lobby. They escorted us and assist to the lift. They reserved a table for us in a nice view and comfortable seating. Our server, brief us with the afternoon tea and gave us a welcome drink that surprises me with the fruity and floral flavor a perfect combination. The food was fine as their theme was Strawberry. Everything went fine however there is 1 item that didn’t match the strawberry itself, forgot the name of that dish but the staff was informed. The staff are knowledgable and well trained about their job. Kudos to the team

I had a last minute change to my booking and visited Observation deck at 300 later than planned. The staff were really accommodating especially (Marites) who took the time to show me around the dining area whilst explaining the history behind each view. Although the views were not as picturesque outside because of the weather Marites went above and beyond to take pictures of me inside the building. On top of that Marites also recommended the signature drink (Etihad Sparkle) and it was the best one I’ve had so far.
Overall I am beyond satisfied with the customer service and hospitality provided by the staff working on this day.
Would recommend anyone to pay a visit!

Stunning views, fantastic food and service. Nice and relaxed and not rushed at all, plenty of coffee refills. Very friendly informative staff. Couldn’t eat all the cakes so staff boxed them up to take back to our hotel

Great views from the obsevation deck. However the lady at the reception could be a bit more friendly. The only place in Abu Dhabi were I was asked to show results of a recent Covid test, perhaps because I wasn't a guest at the hotel.

Thinking about staying here ... is this hotel alcohol friendly ?

All the hotels in Dubai sell alcohol for use on the hotel site/bars and pool side. Just don't get drunk or you could end up in prison. respect their culture and you will be fine. Dont look for alcohol bars outside the hotel. apparently there are some places you can buy it in dubia I haven't seen it . but beware if you buy it and get caught taking it your hotel

If we just want to visit the observation desk and rather quickly drink a coffee or eat a sandwich, do you need to make a reservation for that?
We're traveling with a 1-year and a 3-year old.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi Jasper, nee reserveren is niet nodig. Er lopen serveersters rond die je kunnen helpen. Alleen als er grote groepen bezoekers (busladingen) gelijktijdig binnenkomen, kan t wat langer duren voordat je geholpen kunt worden.
Dat geldt dan ook voor t gebruik van de liften. Dat duurt misschien ook wat langer. Al met al blijft t toch leuk om er geweest te zijn en van daar af even om je heen te kunnen kijken. Geniet ervan.
Hello, hope you can help me. I would like to book a ticket for entry to the Observations Desk at Etihad Towers, but I can't find any lik to do that online. How did you book your ticket? I saw one option to book an afternoon tea, but it was much more than 95 AED ( I believe 250). I've heard that it's better to book it in advance, so I wouldn't want to leave it till the day of our visit. Thank you

95 DIRAM a persona. Nel biglietto è inclusa una consumazione pari a 55 DIRAM (se consumi qualcosa di più costoso paghi la differenza).
I biglietti li abbiamo fatti al momento, nessuna coda e nessun tempo di attesa.

Hallo, wie teuer ist der Eintritt für das Observation Deck at 300" und wo kaufe ich die Tickets am günstigsten?

Hi
Wir haben 95 AED (ca. 22 euro) pro Person direkt am Zugang/Aufzug bezahlt. Dabei sind 55 AED als Gutschein im Cafe nutzbar. Ich glaube billiger wirst Du es nicht bekommen. Der Zugang zum Aufzug/Kasse ist ein wenig versteckt. Am besten durchfragen (Hotelreception vom Jumeirah)
Viel Spaß....

How about parking? Is valet parking included in the price? Do you need to make a reservation to get the parking included?

I don't know because we came there using the Hop-on hop-off bus. I suppose parking is not included.
The best way to find out is calling the desk of the Jumeira hotel, in which the entrance to the observation deck can be found.
Have fun, it's worth it!

Do you need to make a reservation for the observation deck if you are not a hotel guest or can you just pay the entrance fee on arrival?

You can access, but if fully booked you won’t find a place.
Preferable you book in advance. But still on days that aren’t busy u will find a spot
