Today we’ll stay at Andaz Capital Gate Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Guinness World Record Hotel Built Inside a Leaning Tower. We’ll show you everything from the facilities to dining experiences and activities. …sharing this unique hotel with you! Please enjoy the tour! Andaz Capital Gate is located in Abu Dhabi, within the iconic Capital Gate Tower. Hello we are here in Abu Dhabi. Andaz Capital Gate Hotel is about 20 minutes away from Abu Dhabi airport. Arrived in no time. The Capital Gate Tower, completed in 2011, is one of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic landmarks. It leans 18 degrees to the west, earning a Guinness World Record as the “World’s farthest manmade leaning building”. There are some fountains by the entrance. The tower rises 165 meters (541 feet) high, spans 35 floors and even features a rooftop helipad. Right here. It reportedly cost about $272 million to build. UAE and hotel flags are on display. A small monument stands in the center of the parking area. The area is covered in a stainless steel roof. If you come by car, come here! I’m really curious what it feels like to sleep inside a leaning building. Let’s see, let’s see. Ground floor. By the way, the building also houses offices, not just the hotel. Andaz concierge desk. Small cafe area. WOW. This rooftop decor is kind of stunning. To the lobby, which is located on the 18th floor. Portraits of UAE leaders on display. Get into the elevator. This door looks like it needs some vaseline. Inside the elevator, it says the tower holds a Guinness World Record for its 18-degree lean. Andaz is a 5-star luxury hotel operated by Hyatt brand. We are now at the lobby area and lounge. Pretty modern isn’t it? Reception desks. During check-in, a staff member introduced us to the hotel’s facilities and surroundings. Also, the name of the hotel, “Andaz” means personal style in the Hindi language. There’s also a nearby beach, which we’ll visit after the room tour. Quite a unique hotel. There’s a traditional seating area ..where we can enjoy some Arabic coffee. And dates. Arabic coffee and dates are part of the traditional Emirati welcome. The view from above. Andaz Capital Gate is often described as an art-inspired hotel, featuring local artworks and design elements that reflect Emirati culture and contemporary style. Next.. Three portraits of UAE royal family members. What do we have here? Andaz book, priced at 200 AED (about 55 USD). A candle priced at 220 AED (around 60 USD)?? Other objects. There are some perfumes, globes. Nice one. Capital Gate Tower. It is a beautiful building and hotel. Helipad on top. Here is the terrace and pool area. Look at this masterpiece! One really interesting fact about Andaz Capital Gate Hotel is that every room is uniquely shaped because of the building’s dramatic 18-degree tilt. No two rooms have the exact same layout and the windows are all angled differently. This book offers information about how the tower was built. Day vs. night. The book covers everything from architectural design and construction challenges to interior design and sustainability aspects of the tower. What’s interesting is that the tower looks different from every angle. So apparently.. …in order to build the tower, engineers first created a reinforced concrete core, then added the external steel structure and glass façade around it. It’s impressive what humans can achieve. The book also includes photos showing how the tower looked during its construction. Capital Gate Tower took about four years to complete, from 2007 to 2011. Cleaning looks like a major challenge. A true feat of modern architecture and human ingenuity. 👏🏻👏🏻 The interior of the hotel is even more stunning. We’ll see it in a few moments. The hotel lights up beautifully at night, highlighting the tower. This is the Andaz lounge where we can enjoy some tea. Only hotel guests can stay here. Bar. Let’s take a look at what they offer.

There’s also a terrace on the 18th floor, next to the lounge. It is the terrace of the “18 Degrees” bar. There are many tables and sofa where we can stay. …and enjoy the heat of Abu Dhabi. 🙂 Let’s see, let’s see. I put my phone at risk right here but it was worth the view. When we look up..

First, we’ll go take a look at the hotel interior from below. Wowow. Look at this, everyone. We can see the tower’s steel structure twisting dramatically toward the sky. The top is fully covered with glass, letting in the natural sunlight. Each floor has a different layout. An amazing tower and an even more impressive hotel. Our room is on the 32nd floor. The tower has a total of 35 floors and features 188 rooms and suites. The Andaz Capital Gate Hotel occupies the 18th to the 33rd floors of the Capital Gate Tower. Let’s begin the room tour. Room key card is made of wood and features the tower. Sesame, open. The room we’ll be staying in during this visit is a 1 King Bed Panoramic View.

Time to go to the beach. In case you are asking.. No, there’s no direct access to the sea or beach from the hotel, so we’ll need to take the hotel shuttle to get there. I think it’s a nice compensation, since their pool has been closed for a few months. It’s actually a beautiful private beach, located just 15 minutes from the hotel. Access is free. Let’s be comfortable. It is a nice atmosphere with music and water sports. Brought the complimentary snacks to enjoy. How needs the pool when there is beach?? People having some fun. These chips taste like cherry tomatoes. Chocolate. Water sports are not complimentary, except for kayaking. There’s also a bar. Beach volleyball. Why is it a horse here? Guests can actually ride it along the beach for about $150. Goodbye horse. It’s a swing in the water. So nice. Water is not the best but since we are in the dessert let’s be grateful. Some places around the area where kids can play. Here we can enjoy beautiful sunset views. Overall, the beach and water aren’t the best, but the atmoshpere is great. Back to the tower. It’s a beautiful sunset today. We’ll get changed for dinner now. See you. Dinner is served at Cyan Brasserie Restaurant from 6:30pm to 11pm. Cyan Brasserie at Andaz Capital Gate is quite renowned. It’s not Michelin-starred, but it’s award-winning
known for its fine French–Arabian fusion cuisine and elegant atmosphere. It has received recognition from Time Out Abu Dhabi and Fact Dining Awards as one of the city’s top hotel restaurants. Decor is casual and with many green tones. The tables are elegantly set which explains the smart casual dress code. Let’s see the menu. Classic French onion soup and Middle Eastern dips to seafood platters, pasta and butter chicken. Prices for mains range between 85 and 150 AED, which is about 23 to 41 USD. Some welcome bread rolls with olive oil. They look to be filled with something. Dinner begins. It is cut into four pieces. I am curious because I’ve never tired something similar. For the starter, we’ll share a variety of small plates. Hummus, moutabel, muhammara and beetroot hummus. I chose some good red wine. Thank you dear. Now we can dig in. The dips come with stone pita bread. It’s warm and soft. Pizza has a beautiful, golden crust. The spreads are colorful and smell aromatic. It is a good pizza. My favorite is the hummus because it is so soft. Dips are a traditional part of Middle Eastern cuisine so you can’t miss them while you visit UAE. Salad de Gabrielle with spinach, feta, raspberry nibs, orange blossom vinagraitte for main course. And Beef slider. Everything is delicious. Well-deserved rated restaurant. For dessert, we had a coconut panna cotta. And pineapple with vanilla ice cream and bread crumble. I forgot to record the dessert menu though. So you’ll just have to take my word for it. Panna cotta is not that soft, but rather a cheesecake. Not so jelly. We can see the tower starting to light up in blue. Road is busy. The total for this delightful dinner is 318 AED, which is about 87 USD. We went outside for a bit to see the tower appearance. At night, the tower looks stunning as it lights up in blue and gold. All the windows around here are hotel rooms. As we approach the hotel, the view is even more stunning. The hotel’s side entrance is also illuminated in bright blue. Inside the hotel, lights shine across the marble floor. Back in the lobby area. The atmosphere at night feels calm and quiet, with only a few people around. Just like during the day. The lights above have a Japanese feeling and are beautiful. The little tower stays the same. Back on our guest room floor now. It feels similar to the lights outside the tower, except these are white instead of blue. 35 stories building. The tower looks beautiful. Returned to our deluxe room. There is no turndown service at the hotel. I would like to take a look at the view. I love all these big city lights. Feels very calming to me. Adios for now. See you in the next part of the video.
