Located in the iconic Capital Gate tower, the 188-room Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi offers unsurpassed views of the city and its coastline. The on-site hotel that caters to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre’s business tourism needs was the first Hyatt property in the emirate.

The article described the building with an 18-degree inclination as the world’s furthest-leaning man-made tower, and highlighted the hotel’s impressive commitment to championing authentic, insider experiences in the emirate, while shining a spotlight on local artists.

Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi pays homage to its location through incorporating local art that takes guests on a journey through the UAE’s vibrant history and culture. The hotel features a permanent art collection and unique displays of craftsmanship, including Khatt calligraphy and traditional Sadu weaving.

The magnificent hotel features 165 Below, an art gallery for emerging local talent, and as guests head up to the hotel’s reception on the 18th floor, they will discover more artworks, including a wall of original pieces by Iraqi calligrapher Wissam Shawkat, as well as an art installation by Talin Hazbar and sculptures by Mohammed Kazem and eL Seed.
